Today’s  Presentation:  

5 Technologies Examining The 5 Technologies That Will Define The Next 5 Years

“The  trouble  with  our  times  is  that  the  future  is  not  what  it  used  to  be.”  - Paul Valery

Your  Technology  Is  Obsolete… • Over the next 5 years, the following

connections, systems and configurations will become obsolete – Almost all analog A/V connectivity – 4:3 aspect ratio displays – “Low  tech”  workplace  meeting  spaces – USB 1.1 structured connectivity – DVI-D connectivity

• We  are  the  “Analog Migrants”  to  this  brave, new, digital world!

LVDS, VGA and DVI-D  Are  Yesterday’s  Tech • The change to DisplayPort is being

driven a need to ensure universal HDCP compliance via an efficient, evolvable multi-streaming technology

• Intel, AMD, Dell, Lenovo, Samsung and LG all announced the move away from analog connectivity in 2010

• VESA disbanded the DVI Standards Committee in early 2013 – DVI-D is expected to decline to

negligible use levels by 2016

Digital Natives Will Expect Total Integration • Integration of mobile and stationary

devices and networks • Integration of A/V, IT and telephony

functionality • Integration of work and personal

technology • Integration of content licensing and

availability • Integration of cloud and premise storage

WHICH TECHNOLOGIES WIN? “Prediction  is very difficult, especially about the future.”  - Niels Bohr

1. DEVICE CONNECTIONS

“Everything  is connected... no one thing can change by itself.”  - Paul Hawken

DisplayPort

• DisplayPort is the standard for accessing AV content from computers – DisplayPort can move seamlessly into (and out

of) the HDMI format for unified connectivity – There is NO difference between DP1.1 and

DP1.2 cables – Thunderbolt is a Mini DisplayPort technology

that adds I2C functionality • Projected 100%+ growth 2014 • Projected 31.6% industry combined

annualized growth rate thru 2016

DisplayPort Strengths • More efficient power use • Ideally adapted to new high-volume

fabrication techniques • Inherently capable of multi-streaming

– Transport multiple independent display, audio and data streams over a single cable

– Limited to 10 meters direct connectivity • Fully HDCP Compliant • Thunderbolt is based on the Mini

DisplayPort connector

High Definition Multimedia Interface

• HDMI is the standard for accessing AV content from multimedia devices – Limited to 20 meters direct connectivity

• New HDMI 2.0 standards pending – Increased functionality at UltraHD (4K)

resolution • Projected 19.7% industry combined

annualized growth rate thru 2016 – Installed base is nearly 4 billion units

2. MOBILE INTEGRATION

“The  great thing in this world is not so much where you stand, as in what direction you are moving.”  - Oliver Wendell Holmes

MHL and SlimPort • Mobile High Definition Link

– Established in 2010 by Nokia, Samsung, Silicon Image, Sony and Toshiba

– Uses an HDMI connector to integrate mobile devices and fixed A/V assets

– 3.0 Standard supports UltraHD • Current installed base of more than

260 million MHL devices – Projected to reach 1.2 billion ports by

2016 • New SlimPort technology

– MHL Alternative based on DisplayPort

What Does MHL Do?

• Runs efficiently – uses less battery life than wireless connectivity – It can even charge your mobile device

during operation • Fully HDCP and 1080p compliant

– Scalable to UltraHD • Maintains USB support for storage and

HID devices • No lag or compression when playing

music, videos or gaming

3. STRUCTURED WIRING

“The  shortest distance between two points is under construction.”  - Noelie Altito

HDBaseT • HDBaseT Alliance established in 2010

– LG, Samsung, Sony, Valens – 2.0 Specification released August 2013

• HDBaseT is a global standard for advanced digital media distribution – Any HDBaseT certified product will work with any

other HDBaseT certified product

• 2013 installed base of nearly 4 million ports

• Expected to grow to 21 million installed ports by 2016!

Designed For 5Play

• “HDBaseT  is  a  connectivity  standard  which  consolidates  high  throughput,  HDCP  protected, uncompressed high definition digital multimedia with bidirectional data networking  over  standard  cat5e/6  structured  cabling.”

• HDBaseT comprehensively extends A/V solution connectivity for runs more than 10 meters long

4. WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY

“The  most exciting breakthroughs of the 21st century will not occur because of technology but because of an expanding concept of what it means to be human.” - John Naisbitt quotes

The  Internet  Can’t  Handle  It • Over 50% of North American Internet traffic

consists of YouTube and Netflix programming! • Enterprise IT networks are struggling to keep

up with bandwidth demands • Every device added to the network is a

potential security breach • By 2016 there will be 4 network-connected

devices for each and every person on the planet! – There  is  no  way  to  simply  shift  the  total  of  “Last  

100  Meter”  connectivity  to  the  Internet!

Miracast Is Set To Explode On The Scene • Miracast is a new peer-to-peer solution

– Access to a network isn’t  needed – the ability to connect is inside Miracast certified devices

– Both the display and the source devices must be certified for Miracast

– Standards released Q3, 2012 • Miracast is HDCP compliant • Dongles and devices can make legacy

devices Miracast ready • Projections are that more than 1.5 billion

devices will be deployed by 2016!

5. CONTROL AND TRANSFER

“If  you're  not  scared  or  angry  at  the  thought  of  a  human  brain  being  controlled remotely, then it could be this prototype of mine is finally starting  to  work.”  - John Alejandro King

Universal Serial Bus • USB 2.0 is a core connection for

interactive video panels • USB OtG (USB On the Go)

functionality allows a mobile device to serve as an IT terminal complete with keyboard, mouse, screen and data storage connections

• USB  power  functions  as  a  “universal”  power port

• USB ties mobile devices to fixed IT and A/V assets in unique ways

IN  CONCLUSION… “A  conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.”    −  Harold  Fricklestein

22

What  We’ve  Learned… • The  analog  technology  we’ve  depended  upon  for  decades  is  on  

its last legs and will soon become obsolete • DisplayPort++ is the new standard for accessing A/V content

from IT devices • HDMI is the world standard for accessing A/V content from

multimedia devices • MHL is the industry standard for connecting mobile devices to

fixed installations • HDBaseT is the industry standard for connecting digital media

devices at length • Miracast is an industry-wide open standard for ex-network

wireless peer-to-peer A/V connectivity • USB delivers power, file sharing and interactive connectivity to

drive touch panels and integrate mobile devices to both IT and A/V projects
