The AL5750 1080p wireless UWB audio/video adapter, the AL5810/11 wireless HDMI encoder/decoder and the AL5820/21 wireless HDMI encoder/decoder with 3D support. All are powered by the company's ECMA and ISO standard AL5000 worldwide ultra wideband chipset. The AL5750 1080p reference design supports higher screen resolution, longer range and improved text and video performance with lower CPU use for laptop to HDTV applications, for example, a wireless desktop universal docking station.

Video output includes HDMI (v1.3) and optional VGA + stereo analogue connectors. There are also two optional USB ports. The AL5810/11 provides wireless support for HDMI to HDMI cable replacement application, including high-bandwidth digital copy protection [HDCP] support. The AL5810/11 wireless encoder/decoder, based on the Taifatech encoder/decoder supports 1080p with HDCP. The AL5820/21 wireless encoder/decoder with 3D support is based on the Cavium PureVu-3D CNW5302 full-HD video co-processor. It supports 1080p-60 with HDCP using Cavium's SLL Technology to achieve low latency, says the company.
