Asus has handpicked Amimon to work on its upcoming WiCast EW2000 kit that will connect PCs to TVs via USB and HDMI.

The WiCast kit will include an HD video transmitter and receiver in one little compact box, seen in the photo above. Users connect the PC to the TV (or gaming console, set-top box, etc.) via HDMI, while the USB port is used to keep things powered.

The WiCast will be using Amimon’s wireless home digital interface and AMN2120/2220 chipset when it becomes available later this month. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet.

Check out the short promo video below for a look how would fit into a living room.

    Here's another awesome way to stream those HD videos from your laptop on to your HDTV. If you're looking for an alternative though, I suggest trying out the Netgear Push2TV product. This device makes use of the HDMI port on the HDTV and acts as a wireless adapter, displaying what you see on your laptop on to your HDTV. So instead of connecting the laptop via an HDMI cable, the Netgear Push2TV takes its place, and wirelessly streams the contents of your laptop even if they're in separate rooms in the house. To know more about Netgear's Push2TV product, just check it out here, http://bit.ly/bByST7. I'm sure you'll love it too.
