Gefen announces their UWB (Ultra-wideband) Wireless for HDMI Extender solution is now shipping. This particular wireless HDMI solution supports 1080p/24 fps video and 5.1 surround sound audio at distances up to 10 meters (33 feet). The solution consists of a sender and a receiver with the sender unit featuring two HDMI inputs and a component input with two-channel audio. This also means the sender acts as a source switcher – supporting up to 3 audio/video sources.

The only downside with wireless HDMI technologies thus far? The price. The Gefen UWB Wireless HDMI Extender system can be purchased for $999. Yeah.. that’s the price of a 40+ inch flat panel these days…
