It’s just like the company’s CES-launched GW3DKIT , but with a touch of “HD,” a spit shine and a practical shipping date. IOGEAR’s GW3DHDKIT has just been revealed to 3D-lovin’ content watchers across the world, with the Wireless 3D Digital Kit together with a transmitter and receiver with connections that enable it to stream standard, HD or 3D resolution content from one or two HDMI-enabled devices. We’re told that it doesn’t require a line-of-sight placement to deliver uncompressed 1080p, and 3D / 5.1 material may also be slung from as much as 100 feet away. So as to add a second room, one HDTV can connect on to the transmitter’s loop-through (local) port, while a second HDTV simultaneously receives content via the wireless receiver; there’s even an Infrared (IR) pass-through that permits user control over source devices which might be hidden away in yet another location. It’ll ship before the year’s end for a complete of $379.95, but we’d probably look forward to just a few reviews before tossing in an order — we have seen wireless HD allow us to down before, and that is numerous change to throw on something that’s still unproven.
