Realtek displays wireless audio-video reference design at CES

Realtek Semiconductor has showcased its wireless audio/video reference designs at CES 2009. Solutions built based on Wireless AV reference designs stream up to 720p video and high quality audio from PC to TV over a range of 30 feet. For audiophiles, the wireless audio-video receiver provides enough bandwidth to accommodate 7.1 surround sound, and the streamlined installation procedure preserves critical ease of use.

With a flexible menu of input-output options, the reference designs supports both VGA and HDMI video output, while the audio options are Line out, TOSLINK, and Audio via HDMI.

"Wireless AV is generating significant attention from many OEMs and other key players in the wireless ecosystem as a highly promising, premium application," said Batuhan Okur, vice-president of marketing at Realtek. "With its unique combination of ultra-high bandwidth and ease-of-use and setup, Wireless USB truly excels in this application space".
