Introduction
The AMN36254 is wireless A/V receiver board, which works at the 5GHz unlicensed band.
It is are based on AMIMON's WHDI Professional chipset that consist of the AMN2220_A4W baseband receiver
and the MAXIM 2850 ICs, presents the ultimate solution for HD-SDI receiver of the WHDI system. The perfect
HD/SD video, audio quality, the high robustness and the invisible latency of the wireless system are unmatched
by any other wireless technology and presents a true alternative to cable. The WHDI system transmits
uncompressed video and audio streams wirelessly and thus simplifies and eliminates system issues, such as:
lip-sync, large buffers and other burdens like retransmissions or error propagation.

Overview
2.1 AMN36254 WHDI Sink (RX):
The AMN36254 WHDI Sink is designed to be at the receiver end of the WHDI downstream. The
AMN36254 receives wireless downstream transmission, demodulates it and regenerates the video,
audio and control content transmitted by the AMN35254 WHDI source. The receiver works at the
5GHz unlicensed band.
