Default Wireless HDMI Coming In November

The high-definition HDMI interface is getting lots of play lately, and now Tzero Technologies and Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) have created a wireless HDMI interface. Best of all, it's not some proprietary system but it's standards-based, meaning that it will work with any devices with HDMI plugs. It works by compressing the data using JPEG 2000, an image compression standard whose artifacts are nearly unnoticeable. Pricing wasn't announced, but Tzero says the system will be demonstrated in the next few months and available in November. – Charlie White

Pretty awesome, but most my components using HDMI are located next to the tv already

Anybody know anything about JPEG2000? With 1080p TVs starting to roll out, I would think any noise or characteristic JPEG distortions would show up pretty easily on the newest HDTVs.

Sounds like a great idea, though. As long as the implementation is cheap, easy-to-use, and reliable.
