HDMI/MHL to Wireless HD video interface reference design from silicon image

Silicon image has made available two new 60 GHz-based wireless video interface reference designs for connecting smart phones and tablet computer's video output to large screen displays without using wire. The new reference designs are based on silicon image's UltrGig 6400 mobile transmitter which provides a cable like wireless video connection between mobile phone and a large screen display like television monitor. These reference designs or optimized for latest mobile platforms and are suitable for high definition video software applications such as gaming, productivity and entertainment. "Smartphones and tablets are rapidly becoming the device of choice where consumers spend the majority of their connected life," said Philip Solis research director, at ABI Research. "As consumers expand the use of smartphones and tablets for interactive video applications, there is increased demand for connecting these powerful devices to larger displays for an enhanced entertainment experience. Consumers will benefit from solutions like WirelessHD, which addresses the demand for high-quality wireless video connectivity." The plug and play type reference designs pick MHL or HDMI video signals from mobile phones or tablets and convert them to low latency wirelessHD video. At the receiving side the connection can be established by using WirelessHD 1.1 receivers in devices such as la...
