Talk:WirelessHD

Untitled
Reason for my suggestion of merging WirelessHD and WiHD: They seem to be the same thing. Peter S. 15:47, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Acronyms
The use of acronyms in this article is either incorrect or unclear. Could someone confirm or fix the following:

"The WirelessHD (WiHDTMTM) standard" - TM?

"WDHI uses 40 MHz of bandwidth" - Wireless High-Definition Interface?

WiDi Redirects here?
Confused: Is WiDi (introduced as a proprietary Intel technology) actually the same thing as what's mentioned in this page? The strangeness is that the string "WiDi" isn't in fact mentioned anywhere on this page. --ButterSoda (talk) 22:41, 20 July 2010 (UTC)


 * WiDi uses 802.11n 2.4Ghz, so at least at phisical medium level it's a different thing. Probably the redirect should be removed! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.224.66.227 (talk) 11:58, 8 June 2012 (UTC)


 * There were a lot of incorrect redirects for WiDi and Wi-Di, including to Miracast somehow. "WiDi" correctly refers to Intel Wireless Display (WiDi). As such, it now redirects there. To deal with confusion over the name, I've created WiDi (disambiguation), which includes WirelessHD. The other wireless display technology articles need work. I'm doing the best I can while I research the topic as part of my profession, but I can't dedicate much time to editting Wikipedia articles, unfortunately. I'm glad to have finally tidied this up! :) Nitwon (talk) 15:26, 7 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Intel announced that newer versions of their WiDi-Driver for PCs would be Miracast-compatible. So I would call WiDi a precessor of Miracast (Miracast is standardized since autum 2012 by the WIFI-Alliance, Intel is a member there). And Micacast currently uses the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. --MichaelK-osm (talk) 12:51, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

WHDI uses lossless video encoding?
Not really - check out http://www.whdi.org/WHDISIG/FAQ.htm and the question: "How does the Video Modem Work?". It clearly states that the transmission can contain errors, only that they're not visually significant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.69.119.42 (talk) 05:33, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
