Streaming HD?
I wonder if apple is involved with this???

NEC has a new wireless video transmission technology using the 60GHz band, and has already developed a palm-sized transceiver just for it. Video and audio signals are digitized into a signal measuring about 1Gbps, at which point they?re transferred using ?ASK,? the same high speed transmission used in optical fiber. Because of the small size and throughput of this unit, NEC suggests them for wireless HDTV transmissions.

EDIT: Also... since when does apple support 3rd party hardware?
As for NEC this each time, in for office and home, ultra high frequency (60GHz band: Note 1) Image transmission technology of the new radio where it used and the small-sized ultra high frequency tranceiver which is used because of that were developed.
The truth being something which is displayed, (1) development of the tranceiver which the radio transmits hi-vision image, (2) development of small-sized radio module, (3) reception diversity system (Note 2) adoption, and so on with it does the device which this time was developed. Depending upon this development, besides the fact that image aural signal cable wiring with the AV equipment and the wall-mounted television becomes unnecessary, the radio cable less TV and the wall-mounted display which can be transmitted can actualize hi-vision image with incompressible, it reaches the point where it can actualize also the installation of the foam/home theater which can enjoy hi-vision image due to the radio easily.
Recently, enlargement of digital hi-vision broadcast and spread of the large picture thin-shaped television in the background, demand to the foam/home theater which can view hi-vision image has increased. But, as for the needs for the wall-mounted television with home although it is, cable wiring for image sound from convenience and the fact that fine view is impaired has become the interference of introduction, necessity of radio conversion had increased. Because of this, 2.4GHz band or 5GHz band wireless LAN, or UWB (Note 3) also development of the hi-vision image transmission technology which is used is done, but because there is a limit especially and the data transmission rate whose image Quality Assurance under radio wave interfering is difficult introduction of compressed technology being indispensable, plural standards having stood side-by-side with the equipment still, and so on, had become the interference of spread.
On the one hand, thing, problems of radio wave interference are few thing and the license which can use the wide frequency zone, as for radio wave of the 60GHz band, 2.5GHz being unnecessary, and so on from, 1Gbps (per second 10 hundred million bits) it is possible to actualize the radio transmission of the high speed which it exceeds. It becomes possible to transmit hi-vision image and the like with incompressible by using this technology (1) the circuit for compression restoration of the graphics data unnecessary, (2) quality does not deteriorate even with the image where the movement is fast, (3) there is no time lag of the real thing and possibility, with the advantage of saying it can obtain real time transmission.
Development of this each time substantial miniaturization low of the tranceiver for data transmission which uses the 60GHz band which has such advantage actualizes cost conversion, it is something which convenience direction is promoted, main merit is as follows.
(1) the D3/D4 terminal which is loaded onto equipment such as hi-vision corresponding tuner, video and hard disk recorder for home (Note 4) from the Kousei small dynamic picture image of the hi-vision standard which is output, the wireless transmits with developing the ultra high frequency tranceiver which incompressible. It converts the image signal and the stereo aural signal to the digital signal of approximately 1Gbps, it transmits in the 60GHz band ASK modulation technique (Note 5) of making use.
(2) due to the miniaturization of radio module and the simplification etc. of the power circuit, 70mm×50mm×15mm which at cost, is smaller than the card low (52cc) with actualizing the sending receiver of the size which is said. As flip chip mounting (Note 6) possible IC, builds in, all ultra high frequency parts such as filter and oscillator to ceramic module, actualizes miniaturization, handling when producing easily.
(3) by the fact that 2 receivers are used two signal transmission routes are guaranteed from the transmitter, the reception diversity system which on occasion changes is introduced to the route where radio wave circumstance is superior, the transmission cutoff which is topic with indoor utilization substantially reduction. Because of this, for example loading to the wall-mounted plane surface type television of this tranceiver becomes possible, home, it can expect that utilization scene, to the office and the store and the like, that it keeps spreading largely.
In addition, in the future not only as the individual image transmission device, also development to the next generation foam/home network where large increasing capacity of the transmission data advances is possible, those where in the future the place of benefit 々 application spreads as one of high-speed radio communication expedient, it is expected.
(Note 1) 60GHz band:
Radio wave of the 60GHz band to be easy to be absorbed in the oxygen molecule in the atmosphere, unsuitability to long distance transmission. Conversely, there is a merit where you can hold down the interference of the other system, it is promising in short range communication. In addition straight advancing characteristic is strong, is covered by the human body and the like has the feature which is attenuated largely. In country 59? It is allotted, 66GHz as the zone of license unnecessary the wireless radio which conforms to technical standard can use antenna power as specific small electrical bureau below 10mW. In the same way, in the United States 57? It is allotted 64GHz as the zone of license unnecessary. Furthermore frequency 30? The radio wave of 300GHz is called ultra high frequency.
(Note 2) reception diversity system:
As for diversity, the technology which improves the quality of the signal which is transmitted making use of the transmission route where the space, time and frequency differ. Reception diversity being something which two transmission signal routes definite is guaranteed by preparing 2 receivers, is one kind of space diversity.
(Note 3) uwb (Ultra Wideband)
In 2002 February, the American Federal Communications Commission (FCC:Federal Communications Commission) with without license for frequency utilization the communication system where it can recognize use. UWB from 3.1GHz utilizes wide frequency zone in 10.6GHz and the emergency. Because of this super high-speed communication is possible, but the restriction whose communication range is strong according to transmission rate is received because output of radio wave is very low. In the Japanese country, amendment of the Wireless Telegraphy Act where information communication conference considers UWB it is in the midst of deliberating.
(Note 4) d3/d4 terminal:
EIAJ (the JEOL machine manufacturer's association, present electronic intelligence technical industrial association) with it decided, domestic standard of the image terminal for national welfare. Hi-vision image standard 1080i (1080 scanning lines, interlace system) and 720p (720 scanning lines, progressive system) it is corresponding.
(Note 5) ask (Amplitude Shift Keying) modulation technique:
The signal the modulation technique which is displayed in 2 states of on/off. With the high-speed wire transmission by the optical fiber and the like it is used generally.
(Note 6) flip chip packaging technology:
The technology which it lumps together connects with the tip/chip and the module baseplate, the gold ball of several dozen microns (bump) of making use. Low it is superior in loss and potential for mass production.

"From what I?ve heard in the tech community in Vancouver, Apple, who just bought Schemasoft, a Vancouver company, may currently be looking at another Vancouver company, a start-up that produces a video codec...
So, the start-up Apple?s looking at might be able to help with a codec that compresses an awful lot without requiring as beefy a CPU. Or Apple may be forced to include a specialized video chip."

Wait.
Apple includes the HD codec in the next QT, but turns out the codec computationally outstrips the hardware, so they must buy a company that makes another codec to get things down to manageable levels?
Right.

Right.
Good point. I'm guilty of posting without thinking. There is a first time for everything
