2012-12-12 Silicon Image, a specialist in wired and wireless HD connectivity solutions, announced the UltraGig 6400 ultra-low power 60GHz WirelessHD mobile transmitter at the Grand Intercontinental Hotel in Samseong-dong with over 10 domestic journalists in attendance.

Jim Chase, marketing director of Silicon Image's wireless division, emphasized the differentiation of the UltraGig 6400, stating "In the case of WiFi-based technology, video must be compressed by the device's CPU, transmitted, and then received and decompressed again, resulting in degraded response speed and quality, whereas WirelessHD performs transmission and compression in real-time."

To utilize these features, the following requirements must be met:
1. The device must be ultra-compact. To support this, the product size is 10 * 7 mm.
2. Ultra-high integration must be achieved, which requires placing all components within a single package. Additionally, it must support HD-quality video. It delivers 1080p HD video quality.
3. Latency must be low. In other words, the time required to transmit from a mobile device to a larger screen must be minimized.
4. It must operate with ultra-low power consumption.
