Abstract

A wireless transmission system is provided. The wireless transmission system can include: (a) a receiver unit capable of being coupled to a display device; and (b) a transmitter unit that sends a wireless signal to the receiver unit, wherein the wireless signal comprises a bandwidth sufficient enough to carry high definition video content. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claims (82)

1 . A wireless transmission system, comprising:

a receiver unit capable of being coupled to a display device; and

a transmitter unit that sends a wireless signal to the receiver unit;

wherein:

the wireless signal comprises a bandwidth sufficient enough to carry high definition video content.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein:

the receiver unit comprises:

a first processor; and

a receiver; and

the transmitter unit comprises:

a second processor; and

a transmitter.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein:

the receiver unit further comprises a first transceiver; and

the transmitter unit further comprises a second transceiver.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein:

the first transceiver and the second transceiver communicate with each other.

5 . The system of claim 2 , wherein:

the receiver comprises:

a radio frequency receiver; and

an HDMI transmitter;

wherein:

the radio frequency receiver receives the wireless signal; and

the HDMI transmitter is capable of being coupled to the display device.

6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein:

the receiver unit further comprises an infrared receiver.

7 . The system of claim 2 , wherein:

the transmitter comprises:

a content selector; and

a radio frequency transmitter;

wherein:

the radio frequency transmitter transmits the wireless signal;

the content selector comprises an HDMI receiver; and

the content selector is capable of being coupled to one or more content sources.

8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein:

the transmitter unit further comprises an infrared receiver.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein:

the transmitter unit further comprises an infrared blaster.

10 . A wireless transmission system, comprising:

a transmitting portion receiving a first audio/video signal from one or more audio/video sources; and

a receiving portion receiving a second audio/video signal from the transmitting portion and sending a third audio/video signal to a display device;

wherein:

the second audio/video signal is wireless; and

the first audio/video signal, the second audio/video signal, and the third audio/video signal comprise high definition video content.

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein:

the second audio/video signal comprises a microwave signal.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein:

the second audio/video signal comprises a 5 gigahertz signal.

13 . The system of claim 10 , wherein:

the first audio/video signal comprises a first high definition multimedia interface signal.

14 . The system of claim 10 , wherein:

the third audio/video signal comprises a second high definition multimedia interface signal.

15 . The system of claim 10 , wherein:

the receiving portion and the transmitting portion communicate via a command signal.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein:

the receiving portion comprises:

a first infrared receiver;

a first processor; and

a first control transceiver; and

the receiving portion is capable of sending the command signal via the first control transceiver.

17 . The system of claim 10 , wherein:

the transmitting portion comprises:

a second infrared receiver;

a second processor; and

a second control transceiver.

18 . The system of claim 10 , wherein:

the transmitting portion comprises a content selector, and

the content selector is capable of selecting one of the one or more audio/video sources to provide the first audio/video signal.

19 . A process for exchanging data, comprising:

detecting the presence of one or more audio/video sources that are coupled to a transmitter unit;

indicating the presence of the transmitter unit to the one or more audio/video sources;

indicating the presence of a receiver unit to a display device;

detecting a signal from the display device by the receiver unit;

retrieving enhanced display identification data from the display device;

transmitting the enhanced display identification data from the receiver unit to the transmitter unit; and

providing the enhanced display identification data from the transmitter unit to the one or more audio/video sources.

20 . The process of claim 19 , further comprising:

storing the enhanced display identification data in a memory.

21 . The process of claim 19 , further comprising:

mating the transmitter unit and the receiver unit.

22 . The process of claim 19 , further comprises:

transmitting a wireless audio/video signal from the transmitter unit to the receiver unit, wherein the wireless audio/video signal comprises high definition content.
