Wireless video transmission--it just sounds like asking for trouble, doesn’t it? Even under the best of circumstances, sending 1080p compressed video via 802.11n doesn’t seem like such a great idea. A number of you have probably even tried to do this with varying amounts of success. Now, imagine trying to wirelessly send uncompressed 1080p video at 59.94 hertz (Hz). If wirelessly transmitting a Blu-ray stream (which tops out around 50mbps) is questionable, transmitting uncompressed 1080p/60 video seems downright impossible. Yet, that is exactly what brite-View claims to do with their Air SyncHD transmission kit.
In a nutshell, the brite-View Air SyncHD transmission kit promises to wirelessly bridge an HDMI source device and HDMI receiving device, freeing you to place the devices anywhere within the system’s wireless range. Further, the system manages to send 1080p/60 video, audio and infrared (IR) with less than one millisecond latency up to 66 feet. It sounds great on paper, but can it deliver?
