Wireless HDMI is a general term for devices and technologies that transmit HDMI video and audio signals wirelessly instead of over a cable. It consists of a pair: a transmitter plugged into the source device and a receiver plugged into a TV or projector, and there are standards such as WirelessHD, which uses the 60GHz band, and WHDI in the 5GHz band. Unlike Miracast or Google Cast, which go through a network and apps, it carries the HDMI signal itself, so no software is needed on the source device and latency tends to be low.
