WHAT:

The MHL standard defines an optimized-for-mobile audio/video wired interface for portable devices to connect to HDTVs and other displays. One of the key advantages of the MHL specification is that it utilizes some of the most popular mobile and CE connections out on the market today. The first MHL-enabled products are expected to be released in the first half of 2011.
The MHL Consortium will be showcasing its technology at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in Hall 2, B108. The demo will highlight the following capabilities:
- Mobile Device Charging by HDTV: MHL technology provides power from MHL-enabled televisions to operate the mobile device and charge its battery, while simultaneously playing content.
- HD Video and Audio: 1080p high-definition video and 7.1 digital audio is supported for the ultimate mobile viewing and listening experience.
- Command and Control: Consumers can use remotes from any MHL-enabled HDTV to control any MHL-enabled mobile device.
- Thin Cables: Inexpensive, portable, five conductor cables are used for the delivery of high-definition video and digital audio.
