Rocketfish WirelessHD Adapter Replaces HDMI, Is Uber-Expensive

We’ve been talking quite a lot about the idea of Wireless HD over the past year or so, and, in pretty much each and every single case, we mentioned the fact that this otherwise quite interesting A/V streaming solution is doomed to a niche segment as long as the devices using it have ridiculously high price points. Unfortunately, that’s the case as well with the gadget you’ll read about as follows, namely the Rocketfish WirelessHD Adapter, which has just become available at Best Buy.

Similar to other solutions of this type available on the market, the device wirelessly connects favorite home theater products such as Blu-ray players, A/V receivers, videogame consoles, and set-top boxes to HDTVs and projectors, transmitting lossless high-definition 1080p True Cinema picture resolution.

The Rocketfish WirelessHD Adapter operates in the open and interference-free 60GHz radio band, is able to send full 1080p/60fps HD content up to 10 meters away and supports Deep Color, 7.1 surround sound, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Audio. Furthermore, it’s compatible with HDMI CEC control functionality.

“We asked our customers about their ideal home entertainment experience, and used these insights to create the new Rocketfish WirelessHD adapter, which responds to their desire to transmit high definition video wirelessly in the same room,” said Nigel Waites, CTO of Rocketfish. “This new product not only complements our existing suite of Rocketfish products but also allows consumers to easily integrate this new technology with their existing home theater equipment, regardless of the brand.”

As mentioned right from the start, pricing for the Rocketfish WirelessHD Adapter is quite high, the device selling at BestBuy for around 600 US dollars. For this sum, users will get the Wireless HD transmitter, WirelessHD receiver, two four-foot HDMI cables, two AC Adapters, two mounting brackets and the Quick Start Guide.
