You can also transmit double-rate Full HD (1920 by 1080) at 120 frames per second. That&#8217;s pretty wild for a mobile device like a smartphone or a tablet, where space and power are so limited, and it&#8217;s only possible thanks to the massive bandwidth provided by the new USB 3.1 Type-C standard.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/anx7688_diagram_high_res-2.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-52408\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52408\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/anx7688_diagram_high_res-2.jpg\" alt=\"anx7688_diagram_high_res-2\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/anx7688_diagram_high_res-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/anx7688_diagram_high_res-2-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/anx7688_diagram_high_res-2-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/anx7688_diagram_high_res-2-450x225.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So what good is this? Well, apart from being able to connect your smartphone to a 4K monitor or TV (via USB-C, HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.4) without suffering low frame rates, it&#8217;s also quite good for augmented reality \/ virtual reality, which tends to have higher bandwidth requirements than simple 2D video.<\/p>\n<p>The chip can be built into any phone or tablet with a Qualcomm chipset and a USB-C port, so chances are we&#8217;ll see it on at least one device in the coming months. Analogix is demonstrating the chip&#8217;s capabilities at the Mobile World Congress this week, and surely will be meeting with as many interested smartphone and tablet makers as possible.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to read more about the chip, you can have a look at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.analogix.com\/en\/products\/hdmi-usb-c-bridge-port-controller-usb3-switch-and-power-delivery\/anx7688\">Analogix ANX7688 product page<\/a>, which is replete with nerdy info.<\/p>\n\n<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.27.4 -->\n<div class=\"quads-location quads-ad1\" id=\"quads-ad1\" style=\"float:none;margin:0px 0 0px 0;text-align:center;\">\n<div id=\"bari-widget\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Analogix, the creator of SlimPort video cables, today announced its latest product: a mobile chip that can handle desktop-class video output over USB-C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":78,"featured_media":52408,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6,216],"tags":[8470,8471,7774,8154],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52407"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/78"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52407"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52407\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52410,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52407\/revisions\/52410"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52408"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52407"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
