What is Wireless video transmission module

A pair of small boards that takes HDMI video, encodes it, sends it over wireless or Ethernet and turns it back into HDMI at the far end. The pair plugs into the customer's own carrier boards inside a finished product.Also called: wireless HDMI module, wireless video module

What it is

A wireless video module comes as a transmitter (TX) and a receiver (RX). The TX takes the picture in over HDMI, encodes it in H.265 and sends it over 5 GHz wireless. The RX receives the stream, decodes it and drives a display over HDMI. The module is only the core circuit, with no enclosure, power input or connectors; those live on the carrier board. That is why most buyers are factories and brands building their own products.

What one module pair can become

With different carrier boards and enclosures, the same module pair becomes a wireless presentation system, a wireless KVM extender, a camera video link, an HDMI-over-fiber extender, a USB-C casting dongle or a casting dock. The product maker owns the form factor, connectors and product certification; the module supplier owns the video link.

Selection takes two steps

First choose the module by resolution (4K30 or 4K60), then choose the Wi-Fi module by distance (three tiers covering 30 to 1000 m). The two choices are independent, and every range tier runs 4K60. If part of the project needs cable or fiber, the Ethernet PHY on the module covers it without changing the part number.

Evaluate before drawing the carrier

Teams new to wireless video usually run the link, range and picture quality on an evaluation kit at the real site first, then draw the carrier board. Problems such as a missing antenna position or an undersized power supply show up during evaluation instead of after the boards are built.

On ANLYA modules

ANLYA has four modules available now: the 4K30 ATE9430T (TX) / ATE9430R (RX) and the 4K60 ATE9460 (TX) / ATE9461 (RX). All are 22 × 45 mm with an 80-pin edge connector, a built-in 100M Ethernet PHY and a VHT40 link. The 8K30 ATE9860 / ATE9861 are in development. For evaluation there is the ATE946X-KIT (ATE9460 + ATE9461 + two DEMO carrier boards).

FAQ

Q1What is the difference between a wireless video module and a finished wireless video product?
A module is a core board that needs a carrier board and an enclosure before it becomes a product. A finished unit already has the case, power and connectors and works out of the box. Brands and factories building their own design buy modules; people who just need a few links for a site buy finished units.
Q2Do wireless video modules have to be used in pairs?
Yes. TX and RX ship as a pre-paired set. The 4K30 and 4K60 families cannot be mixed: ATE9430T pairs only with ATE9430R, and ATE9460 only with ATE9461.
Q3Can a wireless video module supplier handle OEM / PCBA?
Yes. We can supply modules only for your own carrier board, or design the carrier to your enclosure and connectors and handle ODM development and PCBA production. White-label OEM is also available.
