WiDi 2.0
Today we will tell about the Wireless Display (WiDi) wireless video streaming and audio transmission technology. This technology until some time was little known on the Russian market. However, with the advent of a more advanced version of WiDi 2.0 with support in mobile Intel Core Sandy Bridge processors, a surge of interest can be expected.

The first version of WiDi was introduced by Intel a year ago. WiDi’s "trick" was the ability to connect a laptop to an HDTV via a Wi-Fi connection, providing good streaming speed. Of course, the user needed a mobile computer with an Intel Core i3 processor, Core i5, Core i7 and integrated graphics.
The adapter adapter from Netgear was a small unit that is connected to HDTV via an HDMI cable.
Needless to say, Toshiba was the first to implement this solution in its notebooks. In Russia, the Toshiba Satellite E205 laptop did not appear, but the Toshiba Satellite L630 Pro model became available. At the same time, the Russian market hardly saw more new products from WiDi from any developer.
A year has passed and Intel announced a new version of the technology. In WiDi 2.0, in contrast to the previous version, which allowed to drive the video stream with a resolution of 720 p, it became possible to transfer content with a resolution of 1080p. Also, significantly increased the functionality of the console, including through the use of discrete graphics cards. Foreign publications report that in the future WiDi 2.0 will support HDCP 2.0 multimedia content protection technology, as well as 5.1-channel surround sound and even Blu-ray content.
As for Toshiba, then, apparently, the company believes that WiDi technology is quite promising. In particular, it will be implemented in models of the Satellite E300 series, which will be presented this summer.
