brite-View's™ “HDelight” Will Wirelessly Transmit Uncompressed 1080p Digital Content from PC to TV at San Francisco’s Netbook Summit.
Turn Any PC with HDMI Ports inot HTPC and Wirelessly Stream Netflix and Hulu to Any HDTV
SAN JOSE, CA, May 20, 2010: brite-View’s HDelight (BV-1222), a 1080p wireless PC-to-TV transmission kit, will help users finally achieve the dream of enjoying all digital content from the Internet, a computer hard drive, game machine or home network on HDTV. brite-View will display the HDelight at the WHDI™ (Wireless Home Digital Interface™) booth (#303) at San Francisco’s Netbook Summit on May 24-25, 2010. The HDelight will officially launch in July 2010, and the price is expected to be under $200.
The first solution of its kind, the HDelight is not limited to use with specific PC or HDTV models. Provided the PC and HDTV have HDMI ports, the HDelight can air bridge the two and transmit uncompressed, 1080p high-definition content from computer to TV with no noticeable latency. brite-View is targeting later in 2010 for the release of another multi-room solution, which will be fully compatible with the WHDI standard.
Featuring AMIMON’s wireless module (the technology that is the foundation of the WHDI standard), brite-View’s HDelight is an affordable and flexible 1080p wireless PC-to-TV transmission kit. Users simply connect the HDelight’s transmitter to their PC’s HDMI port, and the receiver to the TV’s HDMI jack. Consumers are then free to enjoy content from any source, not just the traditional set-top box or DVD player. The market responded well to the brite-View Air HD (BV-2500), and the new HDelight kit will build on that success.
“brite-View products are user-friendly, affordable and feature the most advanced technology,” said Robert Lo, CEO of Xpike Innovation, which owns the brite-View brand. “The HDelight lets users enjoy online entertainment on the big screen. This will be a whole new experience for PC users, especially since Netflix will soon begin streaming 720p HD content.”
The HDelight is ideal for three major uses:
- Entertainment: Wirelessly streams Hulu, Netflix and YouTube, and has a no-latency feature that will give gamers the “rush” of experiencing PC gaming on a large-screen TV.
- Communication: With Skype installed on the computer, HDelight brings Skype’s recently launched five-way video conferencing to larger displays.
- Information: Students of online education are no longer bound to the computer screen. The HDelight enables better learning experiences on a large-screen TV.
For those who cannot attend the Netbook Summit, brite-View has also released a YouTube video showing the HDelight in action, working seamlessly with the HDMI-ready PC and TV in a living room setting.
Hosted by brite-View™, Hannspree, PlayOn™ and AMIMON, the April 24 Event Will Highlight the Latest in Internet Entertainment for the Home Theater
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Apr 20, 2010: What do Hannspree, brite-View, MediaMall’s PlayOn™ and AMIMON’s WHDI technology have in common? They are all striving to integrate digital entertainment from the Internet or your computer with the television in your home. From 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on April 24, 2010, these partners will create “The Digital Home Theater Experience” at Hannspree’s flagship store in San Francisco’s Union Square, showcasing a modern living room with the latest technology.
All brite-View™ products are HDTV and networking centric, enabling users to enjoy Internet and digital entertainment on HDTVs. Hannspree is known for their quirky but quality, design-centric LCD televisions and displays. These complementary brands epitomize the vision of bringing innovative, high-quality entertainment technology into the living rooms of media consumers, at a reasonable price. “The Digital Home Theater Experience” event will be a great opportunity to see the technology in action.
brite-View™ CinemaTube, a DLNA-compliant media streamer, works well with PlayOn™, a media server software product installed on the PC. On the TV, users can enjoy digital content stored on a local hard drive or networked computer, and also explore popular Internet entertainment sources such as Netflix, Hulu, YouTube and Pandora.
“PlayOn™ is getting more people off their PC’s and into their living rooms every day. Through our partnership with brite-View™ we can reach even more people,” remarked MediaMall CEO Jeff Lawrence. “The CinemaTube works flawlessly with PlayOn™ and provides a TV viewing experience that will surprise many brite-View™ customers. People will be able to find most anything they typically watch on broadcast or cable TV by using this powerful combination of technologies.”
Videophiles can always hook up a networked computer directly to the TV, but wired installation, and keeping the wireless mouse and keyboard on the coffee table won’t win any Wife Acceptance Factor points. brite-View™ answers the need for seamless integration with the latest PC-to-TV wireless transmission technology, featuring AMIMON’s WHDI chip.
“Computers are a major source for multimedia entertainment. With AMIMON’s technology, the basis of the WHDI (Wireless Home Digital Interface) standard, consumers can now wirelessly connect their PCs to their TVs in full HD,” said Noam Geri, vice president of marketing and business development for AMIMON. “WHDI has no noticeable latency, enabling seamless PC-to-TV interaction and allowing consumers to enjoy all PC applications on their TV, including gaming.”
“The Digital Home Theater Experience” is a free event. brite-View™ will display the CinemaTube media player, Air HD Wireless Video Transmission Kit and the LinkE powerline Ethernet adapters. brite-View™ will also unveil the CinemaGo, a new portable media player with e-SATA interface and WiFi package, as well as the full-HD 1080p Multi-room Wireless Video Transmission Kit and the PC-to-TV wireless video/audio transmission kit. Door prizes include five 200Mbps LinkE Powerline Adapter Kits ($129.99 retail value each) and five CinemaTube media players with PlayOn software ($169.99 retail value each).
“We want people to visualize an affordable digital living room where one can taste sweet digital media freedom,” said Robert Lo, CEO of brite-View™. “In true brite-View fashion, our latest media solutions are very affordable and approachable.”
