Our Agenda

An historical perspective on

IT, AV and network

development

“Human history becomes more and

more a race between education

and catastrophe.” – H. G. Wells

Digital natives; who are they

and what do they want?

Technology for the next

decade

A BIT OF HISTORY

“Some mornings it just doesn't

seem worth it to gnaw through the

leather straps.” - Emo Phillips

Evolution And Revolution

PRODUCT LINE

It’s A Digital World

Phones, Phablets, Tablets,

Ultrabooks and Televisions

all deliver interactive HD

touchscreen capability

Technologies for home and

work are no longer

differentiated

The demand for device-to-

device connection

bandwidth will continue to

increase

PRODUCT LINE

What Is UltraHD?

PRODUCT LINE

UltraHD Market Growth

Dataxis forecasts that

global shipments of 4K TV

sets will surpass 5% of the

total annual TV shipments

in 2017

A Total of 2.2 million UltraHD

screens currently deployed

Rising to 66.2 million by

end-2018

PRODUCT LINE

We Were Warned…

Intel, AMD, Dell, Lenovo,

Samsung, LG and others all

announced the move away from

analog connectivity in 2010

This global digital transition is

being driven a need to ensure

digital rights protection

Universal HDCP compliance

IT products demand an efficient,

evolvable multi-streaming

technology (MST)

PRODUCT LINE

The “Network” Can’t Handle It

Today, over 50% of North

American Internet traffic

consists of YouTube and Netflix

content

Enterprise IT networks are

struggling to keep up with

bandwidth demands

There’s no simple way to shift

the total connectivity of “last

100 meters” to the LAN

PRODUCT LINE

The Next Generation – Digital Natives

Integration of mobile and

stationary devices and

networks

Integration of work and

personal technology

Integration of A/V, IT and

telephony functionality

Integration of cloud and

premise storage

Integration of content licensing

and content availability

A/V TECHNOLOGY FOR THE

NEXT DECADE

“Prediction is very difficult, especially

about the future.” - Niels Bohr

PRODUCT LINE

DisplayPort

DisplayPort is the global format for

accessing AV content from IT devices

DisplayPort can move seamlessly into

(and out of) the HDMI format for unified

connectivity

DisplayPort supports Multi-Stream

Technology

100%+ market growth for 2015 over

2014

At least 30% CAGR thru 2018

PRODUCT LINE

• More efficient power use

• Ideally adapted to high-

volume fabrication

techniques

• Inherently capable of multi-

streaming

– Transport multiple

independent display, audio

and data streams over a

single cable to 10 meters

• Scalable

DisplayPort Advantages

PRODUCT LINE

HDMI

HDMI is the standard for

accessing AV content from

multimedia devices

Limited to 20 meters direct

connectivity

HDMI industry growth is

projected to be nearly 20%

CAGR

Installed base is nearly 4 billion

units, will double to 8 billion units

by 2018

PRODUCT LINE

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

PRODUCT LINE

MHL

Mobile High Definition Link

Established in 2010 by

Nokia, Samsung, Silicon

Image, Sony and Toshiba

Uses an HDMI connector to

integrate mobile devices

with fixed A/V assets

Current installed base

more than 300 million

devices

Projected to reach 1.2

billion devices by 2016

PRODUCT LINE

What Does MHL Do?

Runs efficiently – uses less

battery life than wireless

connectivity

Fully HDCP compliant

Scalable to UltraHD

Maintains USB support for

storage and HID devices

No lag or compression

when playing music, videos

or gaming

PRODUCT LINE

A/V STRUCTURED WIRING

“The shortest distance between

two points is under construction.”

- Noelie Altito

PRODUCT LINE

HDBaseT

HDBaseT is a global standard for

advanced digital media distribution

100 meter connectivity based on TIA

standards and practices

Any HDBaseT certified product will

work with any other HDBaseT

certified product

2013 installed base more than 4

million devices

Will more than quintuple to 21 million

installed units by 2016!

Miracast Connectivity

PRODUCT LINE

Set To Explode On The Scene

Miracast is an ex-network peer-to-

peer solution

Miracast is HDCP compliant

When combined with advanced

wireless routing, Miracast

supports UltraHD

Dongles and devices can make

legacy devices Miracast ready

Projections are that more than 1.5

billion devices will ship in 2016!

THE MISSING ELEMENT

“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

PRODUCT LINE

Interactive Control

Interactive devices leverage

the “Human Interface

Device” category of USB

technology

HID devices also includes

joysticks, mice, keyboards, etc.

Interactive displays place

significant demands on the

integrity of the USB system

PRODUCT LINE

Universal Serial Bus

USB power functions as a “universal” power port

USB 2.0 is a core connection for nearly all 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

New USB 3.1, Power Delivery and Type C Connector standards have been released

IN CONCLUSION…

“A conclusion is the place where

you got tired of thinking.” − Harold

Fricklestein

PRODUCT LINE

What We’ve Learned…

• The technology we’ve depended upon for decades is on

its last legs and will soon become obsolete

• Network connectivity will not replace “the last 100 meters”

of connectivity to the user/operator

• 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 drives interactive touch panels and integrates mobile

devices into both IT and A/V projects
