How to Lose the Wires and Keep the High Definition
In the quest for the ideal wireless HD content transmission standard, the journey is still underway with no clear leader among the various technologies. Diving deep into the world of wireless display options for the Spontaneous Pop-Up Display, we've explored and summarized the potential candidates, from UltraGig's high-quality, no-latency WirelessHD, requiring direct line of sight due to its 60GHz frequency, to the versatile WHDI with its longer range that can penetrate walls. We also looked into WiGig, sharing high data rates and low latency akin to WirelessHD, and WiDi, mirroring devices with lower latency thanks to direct connections. Not forgetting Wi-Fi-based solutions like Apple AirPlay and Google Cast, which stream HD content over existing networks. Each technology presents its own set of features, including frequency, resolution, max distance, video compression, connection type, latency, and data rate, marking a fascinating era of development in wireless display technology. The anticipation builds for a wireless SPUD, promising an intriguing addition to the evolving landscape.
