Let’s face it, when it comes to connecting your mobile devices to your television, you are left with few options. You might have to use some special cable, transfer to a DVD, or if you are lucky enough might even be able to utilize a card reader built into your TV. Even high definition camcorders usually lack the HDMI output unless it is of the high end variety, which most users simply can’t afford. Luckily these days it doesn’t seem to be necessity that is the mother of all inventions, but convenience.
We’ve already got the technologies available to make the connections of your mobile devices to your TV, but it just simply isn’t convenient. But it looks like the USB Implementers Forum might just be working on making things a heck of a lot easier for you. Supposedly they are working on version of USB that will allow you to transfer your high def content (wrapped in HDCP) via compression that should complement HDMI. USB seems to be everywhere these days, with some form or another, except for your television. Your guess is as good as mine as to why this seems to be lacking from even the most modern TV’s, but if it can deliver as promised and overcome the solutions that are already in place you might just see it featured on TV’s before the end of next year.Permanent Link
