Belkin to Release PC-Less Video Extender
"The PureAV RemoteTV by Belkin is not tied to a PC, and is not based on the Media Center Extender from partners of Microsoft Corp. or a similar device from Intel. Instead, content is beamed on a proprietary 5-GHz wirelesss link up to 350 feet away. The PureAV RemoteTV (AV55000)from Belkin will begin shipping in North America on Oct. 1 for a suggested price of $499.99. The RemoteTV consists of two primary pieces, the PureAV RemoteTV Transmitter and the PureAV RemoteTV Receiver. The Transmitter sends audio and video from a source component — such as a cable box, satellite receiver, digital video recorder, DVD/CD player, or AV receiver — to the RemoteTV Receiver, which is connected to a TV, LCD, or plasma display in a separate location. Content is secured using 3DES encryption, the company said. The technology supports only SD-quality TV at full D1 MP@ML levels, Belkin said. The wireless link can transmit up to 40-Mbits/sec. NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video standards are supported. Input and output options both include component video, S-Video, and composite video, with analog stereo audio. "
Belkin has really moved into higher end (and higher profit) gear over the last year with their Pure AV line of equipment. To be honest, being able to send a picture from almost any source in my house to any TV is very interesting. Unlike PC based solutions, Belkin's works with almost any video source. but only SD quality.
