- LG is working with Intel to incorporate wireless digital video over Wi-Fi, known as WiDi, into its Cinema 3D Smart TV line.
- The WiDi-enabled sets, expected to be featured at CES, will be built into the TVs and will not require a receiver box.
- “WiDi was developed by Intel to stream video content from an Intel-based laptop, notebook or other external mobile device to a TV, projector or display monitor,” explains TWICE. “Currently, the system requires a receiver box or dongle be connected to a TV’s video input, but the agreement would enable the system to be built into LG’s Cinema 3D sets.”
- “The WiDi system uses point-to-point connectivity and features a wireless interface for instant viewing of content on the wirelessly connected display,” adds the article.
- According to LG, the system also supports streaming online content accessible through mobile devices, including YouTube videos and streaming TV shows from broadcast sites.
