Some of the biggest names in the consumer electronics industry, including Sony, Motorola, and Samsung, Sharp, and Hitachi, are throwing their support behind WHDI (Wireless Home Digital Interface), a new technology that promises to eliminate video cables. Developed by Animon Ltd.,  the system works by wirelessly transmitting high-definition video signals from a single set-top box to screens around the home. In effect, a single compatible TV located in one room of a house will be able to access any video source, such as a set-top box, game console, or DVD player, situated in any other areas of the home. It's expected that TVs with WHDI-enabled chips will hit the marketplace next year and will cost on average about $100 more than equivalent sets.
