I am sure that by now many of you have heard of Amimon and its video wireless streaming technology since we reported on their advancements quite a few times before, Galaxy's latest GTX 460 WHDI Edition graphics card being developed together with the Israeli company in order to deliver wireless video streaming.

This actually means that users can now wirelessly connect their gaming desktop to the HDTV enabling them to play games on the TV set, since Amimon's solution has no noticeable latency (the company states less than one millisecond latency), as well as stream movies or pictures so they can easily share them with their friends or family.

Unlike other wireless streaming standards, WHDI can transmit uncompressed 1080p images to the HDTV, this technology being also used in Asus' recently launched WiCast EW2000 Full HD streaming solution, although Galaxy's solution streamlines this process a bit since it packs the required transmitter right inside the graphics card (but I guess you got that by now since the five antennas that stick out of the back are a dead giveaway).

However, the HDTV still requires a receiver to be connected to it, but this is bundled together with the graphics cars.

Apart from the WHDI support this is pretty much your standard GTX 460 based graphics card, although this drops one of the DVI connectors used in the reference design for a miniDP output in order to save space for the antennas.

 

“Amimon’s WHDI technology is gathering tremendous momentum across the consumer electronics ecosystem: gaming, PC-to-TV, wireless HDTV, etc.”

“Gamers and PC users alike want to take the PC games and content from a small monitor to the superior image of an HDTV,” said Alex Lam, CEO of Galaxy Microsystems.

“Fusing Galaxy’s high-performance graphics cards with Amimon’s WHDI technology provides gamers and consumers with the highest quality wireless HD video connection.”

Unfortunately, pricing hasn't been announced yet, although this will be available sometime this month, but Galaxy needs to get this on the market for $350 or less if they want it to succeed, since that is how much a GTX 460 graphics card and a Full HD wireless streaming solution will set you back right now.
