SlimPort Transcends Form Factors and Operating Systems to facilitate a Single Connector for HD Audio-Video Connectivity
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Monday, October 14th 2013 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS
WIRE)-- Analogix Semiconductor, Inc. today announced that the new HP
Chromebook 11 ultraportable notebooks feature built-in SlimPort®
interface solution, which allows users to connect with high-resolution
HDTVs, monitors and projectors over a single standard mobile USB
connector to give presentations or play movies and video games on the
big screen, while using very little power.
The new HP Chromebook
11 is the first SlimPort-enabled device to use Google’s Chrome operating
system. Previous SlimPort-enabled products, including Google’s Nexus 4
smartphones and Nexus 7 tablet computers, have used either Android™ or
other operating systems. HP’s new Chromebook is also the first
SlimPort-enabled product to support Samsung’s Exynos family of ARM
processors.
“HP Chromebook 11 underscores the versatility of
SlimPort, which is now supporting multiple processors, operating systems
and product form factors,” said Andre Bouwer, vice president of
marketing for Analogix. “We expect SlimPort to become the de-facto
mobile interface solution for display, data and charging over mobile USB
connectors.”
SlimPort’s low-power solutions help to extend the
battery life of portable devices, and enable their batteries to recharge
during playback when plugged into a powered DisplayPort™ or HDMI
display. The HP Chromebook 11 is compatible with all SlimPort
accessories available today or coming soon to the market: SlimPort to
HDMI adapter (SP1003), SlimPort to VGA adapter (SP2003) and SlimPort
HDMI/VGA Combo adapter (SP1202).
Analogix Semiconductor is the
leading supplier of DisplayPort-compliant semiconductors and IP products
used in notebooks, tablets and other mobile devices. The DisplayPort
standard is an innovative, packetized digital interface for
high-resolution video and audio that was developed by the Video
Electronics Standards Association (VESA). Analogix SlimPort products are
based on DisplayPort technology.
