USB, Kleer Plug Into Digital TVs

[HardOCP News]

It looks like there are two groups currently working on new ways to get video on your mobile device. The first is a wired solution that has the ability to layer HDCP encryption on top of the new USB variant. The second is capable of streaming SD video at rates up to 1.5 Mbits/s on its proprietary short-range wireless technology.

Two new interface efforts are gearing up as options to link to digital TVs. The USB Implementers Forum is developing a variant of its technology to link mobile devices and TVs, and startup Kleer Corp. is announcing it has characterized its proprietary wireless link for standard definition video.
