Silicon Image Enables MHL® Connectivity Across Sony’s BRAVIA® DTV Line
August 12 2013 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Silicon Image (NASDAQ: SIMG), a leading provider of HD
connectivity solutions, today announced that its MHL®/HDMI®
dual-mode connectivity products have been designed across a broad
lineup of Sony BRAVIA® TVs.
MHL technology enables TVs and monitors to receive up to 60
frames per second of uncompressed 1080p video with up to eight
channels of digital audio from mobile devices, while simultaneously
charging the device. Mobile devices can use MHL to transmit HD
games, Blu-ray™ quality video and digital audio to a TV, or
function as a laptop replacement with productivity applications
like word processors and spreadsheets when connected to
high-resolution monitors. Consumers can control MHL-enabled mobile
devices using the existing TV remote or a traditional keyboard and
mouse.
Since the introduction of the first MHL-enabled devices two
years ago, the MHL ecosystem has continued to grow rapidly and now
has an installed base of more than 330 million products worldwide.
MHL-enabled products include smartphones, tablets, TVs, TV
accessories, Blu-ray Disc players, audio/video (A/V) receivers,
monitors, projectors, adapters, automotive accessories, cables, and
more.
“MHL has quickly become the fastest growing HD connectivity
standard for the next generation of video applications and we are
pleased that a Tier 1 brand such as Sony has broadly deployed MHL
technology in their 2013 models,” said Alex Chervet, senior
director of marketing at Silicon Image, Inc. “By including MHL
technology throughout the BRAVIA line, Sony again demonstrates
their commitment to delivering products that exceed consumer
expectations.”
