ST launches new interface standard for audio/video streaming

The new Mobility DisplayPort interface standard from STMicroelectronics is designed to enable 'seamless' delivery of full hd audio and video between mobile devices and tvs. According to the company, it is 100% compatible with the DisplayPort digital-protocol standard and enables 1080p/60Hz audio and video streaming.

The device is designed specifically for mobile devices and equipment where space is extremely limited and requires only one connector for data exchange. According to ST, it also offers battery charging of the mobile device via the same standard connector. "In close cooperation with ST-Ericsson, STMicroelectronics has co developed an open and royalty free technology that will let consumers bring the content from their smart mobile devices into their living rooms," said Luigi Mantellassi, pictured, vice president, home entertainment and displays group, ST.
