It never ceases to amaze me how much WonderMedia fits into a chip. SoC designs features video, audio, storage, memory etc, and the WonderMedia PRIZM WM8950 SoC platform, it has just been announced, will support the upcoming Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast™ standard. Miracast was developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance®. It's got nothing, pretty much, to do with networking; it's all about streaming audio and video with NO WIRES! The potential products that could be developed are fantastic. A lounge room PC hooked up to a media file server ... add in a snazzy remote control device and you've finally got the home entertainment system we've all been dreaming of.
"Miracast certified devices will be able to deliver audio and video content from one device to another through a Wi-Fi connection, eliminating the need for cables. These devices will be able to connect directly, without the need of a wireless access point, making it possible to watch videos from a tablet on a big screen television or share a smartphone screen with the conference room projector. Televisions, set-top boxes, notebooks, tablets and handsets are among the types of devices which will be certified."
