Philips bringing out Wireless HDMI device - high def without cables

Philips is bringing out a range of Blu-ray products and a device that will transfer high definition video wirelessly.

Bd_player Its BDP9000 Blu-ray Disc player can handle 1080p resolution and component video output, supports multi¬channel audio decoding and digital audio optical outputs and is backwards compatible with DVDs, which it will upscale to 1080p.

The unit costs $999.

It also has 25GB, single-layer recordable (BD-R) and single-layer recordable and erasable (BD-RE) Blu-ray Discs, with a 50GB disc coming soon. Unfortunately for anyone outside of the country, these are currently only available in the US.

The Wireless HDMI comes out in May; the company claims it is the only device of its type on the market, transferring uncompressed high definition signals through the air. It is designed to replace HDMI cabling and has a 25foot range.

Philips said the lossless 1080p signals won’t suffer from other electronic devices in the home, such as wifi or mobile phones because it operates in the ultra wideband frequency.

Wireless HDMI costs $300.
