LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Adimos, a leading provider of semiconductors for wireless home networking, introduced the Wireless Video Player (WVP 1.0) software solution for real-time transmission of multimedia content from the PC-to-TV during the Consumer Electronics Show today in Las Vegas. This is Adimos' latest solution for wireless connectivity in the home.
With simple, do-it-yourself set-up, Adimos WVP PC software allows consumers to view their favorite MPEG, DivX and other Internet movie files on their TVs. Full length downloaded movies can now be transmitted from a computer disk and delivered wirelessly to the TV, without the need for any special hardware.
"We're very excited about the Adimos WVP software," said Onkyo President, Mr. Otsuki. "Onkyo provides the highest quality AV solutions and we're thrilled to now offer our customers unsurpassed wireless connectivity as well. Using Adimos product will give us an uncommon edge in a fast emerging market."
"Adimos is introducing technology that extends your PC experience to your home theater or living room," said Adimos CEO Sandeep Kumar. "Whether the content is generated from disc media such as a DVD or personal digital camcorder or camera, you can now enjoy your favorite movies and content on a large screen with your family. And you are no longer restricted to watching in the home office or bedroom, our PC-to-TV solution transmits broadcast quality signals through walls and ceilings."
The system transmits audio and video to a WVM (Wireless Video Module) enabled TV from a PC equipped with a standard 802.11a WLAN communication card. Scaling to 480p and 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio conversions is supported, as are all MPEG1 layers for audio, including MP3.
The WVP is designed to work with any TV incorporating an Adimos Wireless Video Module and any PC running Windows XP or Windows 2000 SP3 OS that is equipped with a WLAN communication card. The media stream is encrypted to assure privacy and security using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) protocol. Adimos' WVP software installation disc is included by OEMs who supply wireless TV's or the wireless multimedia adapters.
