Onkyo’s 2012 line of A/V receivers will incorporate Silicon Image’s InstaPrevue technology as well as HDMI ports enhanced with Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) technology, Onkyo announced.
When consumers connect an MHL-compatible smartphone or tablet to an MHL-equipped AV receiver or directly to an MHL-equipped TV, they can stream 1080p HD video and 7.1-channel surround sound from the mobile device to their home theater system. The HDMI port of the AV receiver or TV will also charge the portable device, and consumers will be able to use their TV or AVR remote to control the playback of content streamed from their MHL-enabled mobile device. …
Worldwide, 23 smartphones feature MHL technology, and many are available in the U.S., including the Samsung Galaxy S II, Samsung Infuse, and HTC’s EVO 3D, the Consortium said. The HTC Flyer and EVO 3D View 4G tablets also feature MHL and are available in the U.S.
Adapters are available to connect MHL-equipped mobile devices to TVs and AVRs that lack MHL technology, providing all of the features that MHL enables, the Consortium noted.
Silicon Image’s InstaPrevue technology will be demonstrated at CES in a private booth in South Hall 2. Onkyo will demonstrate both technologies at a public suite at the Venetian.
