LG and Intel announce collaboration on the use of WiDi technology in LG Cinema 3D Smart TVs-- making LG TVs the first featuring Intel's WiDi wireless digital video over wifi system.
WiDi allows the streaming of video content (both stored and internet accessed) from Intel-based laptops, notebooks and mobile devices to TVs, projectors or display monitor, using point-to-point connectivity and a wireless interface. It is currently available in receivever box or dongle form.
The system does not require active wireless internet or wifi connections, and does not tie down mobile devices during real-time content sharing.
At the time of writing, the companies do not specify which TV models will carry the technology, but we should see more of the WiDi-enabled LG TV range at CES 2012 early next year.
