Stream Video from Your Mobile Device with Mobile2Display
Posted by Paul Martin in "SOFTWARE" @ 07:08 PM
"Quartics, a provider of video processing solutions enabling streaming media over wireless and wired networks, yesterday introduced its latest technology - Mobile2Display. Mobile2Display enables the wireless transmission of content from a mobile device, including Window's Mobile 5.0 or 6-based PDAs, smartphones, etc., to projectors, TVs and monitors as well as other displays. Leveraging Quartics' award-winning PC2TV technology, Mobile2Display allows consumers to wirelessly send content from a mobile phone to a display of their choice. For example, a business professional could open a PowerPoint presentation on a PDA and wirelessly transmit the presentation to a projector or flat screen-without having to use a personal computer. Similarly, cell phone users can transmit their photos and videos to a larger display, such as a TV or projector, making it easy to view and share them with friends."

Quartics' current PC2TV technology utilizes a router-type device on the receiving end. According to the press release (pdf), "Mobile2Display will be available from select manufacturers of PDAs and Smartphones via retail and e-tail channels during Q2 2008" so it sounds like this will be an embedded option for manufacturers. However, Gizmodo's coverage indicates a wifi dongle at the Quartics CES 2008 booth, so it should be interesting to see how this is brought to market.
