By John Laposky -- TWICE, 2/1/2012

Sunnyvale, Calif. - DVDO today announced the availability of its Air WirelessHD solution that wirelessly streams uncompressed HD content from source components to a wall-mounted HD display.

DVDO's Air system includes a wireless transmitter and receiver.

The WirelessHD-compliant DVDO Air delivers 1080p video and 7.1-channel lossless surround audio at a frequency of 60GHz up to 100 feet using a wireless transmitter that connects to the source, a wireless receiver that connects to the display via HDMI port, and a receiver-mounting clip that secures it to a wall or to the top of an HDTV. 

DVDO said the system works seamlessly with other installer-class DVDO-brand switching and processing products for full HDMI compliance, and because of its use of the 60GHz band, there is no interference from other wireless home systems, such as Wi-Fi networks and cordless phones.

The DVDO Air is available immediately from authorized distributors or from professional installers at a suggested retail of $399.
