Those years I spent offering my firstborn child in exchange for a practical solution for moving HD content from my HDTV to other devices in my house may finally be at an end. Avocent is poised to release the Emerge MPX1000, which will send your HD content and graphics at 1280 x 768 resolution from one high-def source to up to eight wired or wireless destinations.  Don’t let this “HD Multipoint Extender” fool you into thinking it will be the be-all, end-all for the future of wirelessly transferring HD content, though: It won’t ship 1080p video sources.

But with a nice selection of DVI and HDMI inputs that will carry your content to wired or wireless receivers up to 150 feet away, you might finally have the perfect solution for moving HD content around your home or office.  No word yet on how the MPX1000 will communicate with the wireless receivers (wireless HDMI, anyone?), but who cares? I get to keep my firstborn!

The company plans to announce pricing and availability next week at CEDIA.
