Method and apparatus for wireless transmission of high data rate streams

Abstract

Methods, system and devices for wireless transmission of HDMI data streams. Plurality of data multiplex converters are constructed and used in parallel to process one HDMI datastream into plurality of channels of data packets wherein the plurality of channels of data packets are transmitted through Wi-Fi wireless protocols to a destination device. The received plurality of channels of data packets are reassembled into one data stream for display or play.
