Mitsubishi to launch wireless HDTV, utilize AMIMON's WHDI technology

by Darren Murph, posted Aug 21st 2008 at 12:01AM


Now that AMIMON is being taken seriously in the high-def arena, we're hoping to see a number of these releases in the not-too-distant future. Merely months after Sharp announced that its X-Series LCD HDTVs would arrive with wireless HD technology built right in, Mitsubishi has declared that it too will offer sets in Japan that can communicate with WHDI-enabled equipment sans cabling. The TV itself will have an AMIMON chip embedded within, though it will arrive with a separate HDTV receiver unit that connects to the LCD in wireless fashion. Model numbers, prices and all that jazz has yet to be divulged, though the Japanese will evidently be able to buy one of the elusive packages as early as "this fall." Full release after the jump.

VidaBox unveils TouchClient12 in-wall touch panel

by Darren Murph, posted May 18th 2008 at 1:14AM


While the vPad will certainly push the buttons of some home automation freaks, the in-wall TouchClient12 is likely to float the boat of just about everyone else. The unit is designed to be mounted flush within a wall, and aside from packing a predictable 12.1-inch color touchscreen (1,024 x 768 resolution), you'll also find Windows XP embedded within. Unlike most of the outfit's products, this one is available to the public right from its website, giving DIYers and headstrong homeowners the ability to bypass those pricey installers (and potentially mutilate their wall). As for connections, all that's needed is power and a CAT5 wire, after which you can program the panel to control anything controllable on your property. Sure sounds nice, but $2,499 nice? We'll leave that one to you.

GalleryPlayer's HD artwork coming to Mitsubishi flat-panels

by Darren Murph, posted Mar 24th 2008 at 3:44PM


Given the last time we heard that GalleryPlayer was sinking its teeth into a major television brand was nearly two years ago, we're a tad surprised to see it actually attempting to sashay back into the limelight. Nevertheless, the company that aims to deliver "rights-protected" imagery to your HDTV when not tuning into HD programming, HD gaming or HD movies (um, and this is when, exactly?) has inked a new deal with Mitsubishi. Reportedly, the partnership will enable GalleryPlayer to embed its proprietary technology in 2008 Mitsu HDTV models launching this Spring, giving owners the ability to purchase and display 1080p art galleries from its expansive library. Still, we'd rather snap up a DSLR of our own and toss up a slideshow to be really proud of, but to each his / her own.

i-mate introduces X-Stream Digital Media Hub HDTV

by Ryan Block, posted Feb 18th 2007 at 7:10PM


It looks like i-mate isn't only expanding its ODM horizons with digital photo frames -- last week at 3GSM they were also slyly showing off their freshly rebadged X-Stream Digital Media Hub HDTV and X-Stream Dock. The unpriced LCD HDTV has an embedded wireless router and, of course, Vista Ultimate PC with 720p and 1080i output; the Dock wirelessly streams media from your i-mate Ultimate device (presumably to the TV), apparently, for about $200. Neither have release dates, but we're always wary when it comes to embedded-PC TVs anyway, so we're not gonna sweat this one.
