Analogix Launches New SlimPort Technology for Portable Devices-EEWORLD

Collect

Analogix, a global leader in high-performance digital media interface solutions, has introduced the patent-pending SlimPortTM technology, which allows smartphones and other SlimPort-enabled mobile devices to transmit uncompressed 3D high-definition audio and video to large-screen HDTVs and other

displays through existing mobile USB ports without draining the mobile device's battery. SlimPort transmitters and Analogix's energy-saving CoolHD technology work together to enable HDTVs to play digital media from any mobile device, including tablets, MP4 players, digital cameras, mobile phones and camcorders. These digital media can be played by using existing mobile USB ports and display devices such as HDTVs, monitors and projectors.

"Equipment manufacturers are increasingly incorporating HD playback capabilities into their portable products, and users of these products want a simple way to stream videos, applications and enterprise applications on the big screen," said Dr. Kewei Yang, CEO of Analogix. Dr. Yang also mentioned: "SlimPort is a new technology developed based on our CoolHD zero-power HDMI technology. It is not only energy-saving, but also does not require additional interfaces on mobile devices. Devices with SlimPort technology can provide users with a more perfect immersive user experience."

Because manufacturers are reluctant to increase expenses and cannot find space for additional connectors, the ability to connect smartphones or other mobile devices to external displays has been limited. SlimPort not only provides mobile devices with multiple functions such as charging, data synchronization, and audio and video playback using a single cable, but also provides a wider range of compatibility for displays by supporting multi-display interconnection standards. By embedding SlimPort into HDMI and other old display converters, only a standard USB port and an ultra-thin SlimPort cable are required to achieve any connection from all devices to the display. SlimPort technology can provide customers with a wider range of entertainment options while providing mobile device professionals with a steady stream of applications.

Technical advantages:
Analogix's new technology has many advantages, including:

Uses existing mobile USB ports
SlimPort connects to any display using a standard mobile USB port or a thin cable (up to 5 meters) or built-in docking station, providing users with a simple and completely transparent plug-and-play experience.
Connect to Any Display
SlimPort is compatible with all standard interfaces, including VGA, DVI and other legacy systems, while supporting HDMI1.4a and next-generation DisplayPortTM interface displays, and can support 3D data up to 1080P with 7.1-channel audio.
Support for simultaneous display
SlimPort allows users to display their mobile phone interface on the big screen. At the same time, it can support different applications to monitor each other and run multiple displays. Now enterprise users and consumers can enjoy various mobile applications at the same time to achieve multi-display.
Extended Battery Life
Analogix's CoolHD technology recovers and recycles power from the display device, which continuously charges the battery in the portable device during HD playback and allows users to continue using the phone for enterprise applications, email and voice dialing.
Supports charging during playback
CoolHD technology also supports charging mobile devices during HDTV playback, keeping the device charged multiple times to extend the device browsing time.
Integrated TV Remote Control
Using HDMI's user electronics control capabilities, mobile devices with SlimPort technology can be used to connect to any user electronics-controlled display.
Fully compatible with existing standards
Fully compatible with HDMI1.4a and older HDMI, DVI and VGA standards.
Supports Hollywood standard content protection
SlimPort is fully compatible with Hollywood standard content protection, which can prevent unauthorized eavesdropping of copyrighted content.
No Royalties
Analogix developed SlimPort technology from the consumer's perspective. No royalties are charged, making it the most cost-effective solution.

About the SlimPort Series
SlimPort is a patent-pending technology from Analogix. It allows smartphones and other mobile devices to transmit uncompressed HD video and audio over existing USB interfaces. By utilizing a single cable for data synchronization and audio and video connections, device manufacturers can design thinner, more stylish products. SlimPort mobile devices can be directly connected to HDTVs and other displays via a simple ultra-thin cable. Using CoolHD technology, SlimPort supports zero-power switching to HDMI devices and is compatible with a variety of other display interfaces such as DVI, DisplayPort and VGA.

About the CoolHD Series
CoolHD is a patent-pending technology from Analogix. It recovers and recycles power wasted on the HDMI-TMDS link that would otherwise be dissipated as heat during transmission. By recycling power, CoolHD HDMI transmitters significantly extend battery life and reduce heat loss in handheld connected devices.
