THX® ROOMCASTER®
THX and Radiient Technologies have partnered to offer THX® Roomcaster®, an ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless technology that enables the delivery of reliable, high quality surround sound in your home.
As the transition is made from the wired to wireless world, THX Roomcaster gives you the ability to experience interference-free 5.1 and 7.1 music, movie and video game soundtracks over a wireless network. This technology enables true, surround sound audio experiences without interference from cordless phones, WiFi and other electronic devices.
THX Roomcaster Features & Benefits
THX Roomcaster delivers sound quality that is comparable to anything in the wired world. And it moves the wireless experience away from the crowded, interference prone 2.4 GHz frequencies.
THX Roomcaster operates in the 3.1-to-10.6 GHz range and is built upon the standard WiMedia Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radio frequency to deliver uncompressed audio, with the potential to support high definition video in future applications.

HIGH BANDWIDTH
Currently supports 24-bit, 8 channels of audio for 5.1 and 7.1 surround – with bandwidth potential to support HD video content
UNINTERRUPTED
Smart, mesh wireless network actively transmits and receives signals between all speakers in real-time for optimized performance – without interruption
EXPANDABLE
Simple to add new devices to the home theater chain - detects other THX Roomcaster-enabled devices within a system and automatically configures them
How THX Roomcaster Works
AV manufacturers embed THX Roomcaster UWB Modules into components to enable them to transmit and receive content wirelessly. The modules can be integrated into devices, including iPod® docks, game consoles, set top boxes, Blu-ray/DVD players, AV receivers, speakers, HDTVs, computers and headphones.
THX Roomcaster creates smart, wireless surround-sound systems that actively transmit and receive signals between all speakers in real-time. If one speaker is receiving a weak signal, another speaker will automatically retransmit the signal to it without interruption.
The result? A reliable surround sound experience—free of speaker wire.
