Getting tired of having to fill your living room with all sorts of wires in order to watch your favorite Christmas movies on your new widescreen HD ready television set? You'd like to enjoy total freedom when choosing the location of your own personal home cinema? Well, if that happens to be the case, you should really consider getting yourself one of the things that I'm about to show you, namely the Wireless A/V Controller presented by a company called Neosonik, a device that promises to wirelessly broadcast perfectly synchronized, uncompressed digital audio and video streams to all the loudspeakers and the TV set that make up your home entertainment system.

According to the company, the new Wireless A/V Controller that will be officially presented at the CES 2007 show will be compatible with just about any digital or analog source component, as for example HDTV, HD-DVD, CD, or VCR, and will sport quite a serious broadcasting range, namely around 60 meters through walls. Here are some of the most important features and specifications this thing will have to offer when it will be commercially available:

- dimensions: 43.2 cm x 8.9 cm x 35.6 cm; - weight: 9.63 kg; - broadcasting system: H.264 wireless video transmission; - range: 60 meters through walls; - features: multiple digital and analog A/V inputs, including HDMI 1.3; - features: wireless audio output, wired (HDMI 1.3) or wireless video output; - offers: optional HD Radio Digital AM/FM Tuner card; - offers: 2nd zone stereo playback capability.

As mentioned before, the device will be officially launched at CES, for a yet uncertain price. However, it seems that the device's price range will be somewhere between $6k and $15k for the system completed with a pair of wireless speakers. That's a huge price tag, if you ask me, especially since we can't actually be sure if the device really does exactly what its manufacturers boast.
