Intel promotes Widi Wireless display technology

Modern people who like to connect laptops to large televisions have the dream that laptops and televisions can connect wirelessly, as wireless mice and wireless keyboards do, to get rid of the shackles of an output line, and to put a notebook in any corner of the home. In fact, the above dream can become a reality. Intel recently officially promoted Widi (Wireless Display) wireless display technology can realize notebook and TV, projector and other display terminal wireless connection, really get rid of the trouble of the machine wiring. However, the current support Widi Wireless display technology of the overall equipment, notebook + wireless router price is not cheap, and the product selection is not much, it seems that Widi technology applications to be true popularization will take some time. Text/quiet support Widi notebook gradually increase to achieve Widi wireless display technology, must have two conditions. The first is a notebook product that supports Widi technology, but the new i3 and i5 platforms produced this year already support the technology, but only Lenovo's ThinkPad X201 and Sony's cto_s products are publicly available.　　According to Intel, in the fourth quarter of this year, launched 4 support Widi notebook computers, respectively, Lenovo and Dell brand notebook.　　Second, in addition to notebooks, televisions, but also need to match a router, the wireless router is placed next to the TV, using an HDMI cable to connect the router with the TV, and then open the corresponding program in the notebook, can be projected onto the television. In fact, the wireless display is based on 802.11nWiFi technology, the contents of the notebook, such as video, games, pictures, etc., wirelessly transmitted to the TV to play.　　However, at present only support on TV to play 720P High-definition video, to achieve 1080P Full HD video playback, at least until next year. Reporters in the scene to see the video demo found that the notebook video wireless "projection" to the television, from time to time there will be "card" problem.　　The reason, according to the field engineer, is not that the delay on the wireless transmission may be related to the fact that the notebook has been running for two hours with too much resources.　　Compete for HD player users according to the introduction, this Widi wireless display technology, users can easily see High-definition video: As long as the video download to the notebook, through Widi wireless technology transmission, you can watch on the large size of the TV. This can not help but think of nearly a year in the domestic gradually popular high-definition player, it seems that the two functional overlap, forming a competitive relationship.　　Intel (China) client platform manager Zhang admits that compared to high-definition players, Widi wireless display applications can achieve timely synchronization, sharing content and other functions, will rob some high-definition player users. Insiders believe that this Widi wireless display technology equipment from the popularization of a longer period of time, can only win some of the high-end customers.　　It is understood that a set of equipment to achieve this technology is not cheap: A i3 processor notebook of about 4500 yuan, supporting the wireless display technology of the Third-party router 400~700 yuan, the two add together on at least 5,000 yuan, more expensive than a common HD player. Zhang Frankly, Widi Wireless display technology of the whole set of equipment from the current point of view, or will encounter the problem of high prices, however, as the technology matures and products continue to enrich, I believe that more consumers can accept and buy.
