Texas Instruments’ new Miracast platform is an end-to-end system comprised of source and display (sink) solutions that enable consumers to stream media, games, photos and other digital content from mobile devices to larger screens.
Based on TI’s OMAP platform, DaVinci video processors and WiLink connectivity family, the platform delivers high-quality video and low latency over a secure Wi-Fi connection. TI’s Miracast solutions have shown compatibility with the test bed required for Miracast certification to interoperate with Wi-Fi certified Miracast devices.
The Miracast system uses the TI processors’ offload capabilities and built-in accelerators as well as dedicated rate adaptation and power saving algorithms on the WiLink solutions. Additionally, TI is ready to help customers achieve Miracast certification and get their source and display products to market quickly.
The offering leverages the M-Shield content security, high-performance and low-power capabilities of the multicore OMAP platform, along with a power-optimised WiLink solution supporting 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth v4.0 and GPS technologies.
Together, these products enable users to reliably display DRM-free and DRM-protected content with full encryption from a mobile device onto a larger screen at full 1080p HD resolution.
With 60 fps capability and 3D video rendering over HDMI output, the solution can display Blu-ray and 3D movie content. Additionally, it has multiple channel support to connect two or more simultaneous input sources, making multiplayer gaming from several mobile devices to one larger screen a reality.
The Miracast display offering is based on DaVinci processors and WiLink 6.0 combo-connectivity solution. As a complete production-ready Miracast display solution with the flexibility to add features, TI helps manufacturers bring differentiated products to market quickly at attractive price points. Additionally, for certain Android-based applications, TI offers a Miracast display solution using the OMAP platform and WiLink combo-connectivity family.
