Analysts believe that by 2014, the vast number of new systems - up to 89.5% of desktop and mobile up to 95% - will be equipped with DisplayPort ports.
Exactly two years ago, industry association, Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) and the WiGig Alliance started to work together to develop a wireless version of the standard DisplayPort. Rejection of the interface cable for video transmission allows flexible management of your computer or laptop video sources - computer displays, widescreen TV panels and projectors. This innovation is especially valuable for users of mobile systems. But wire desktops to the TV in the next room or to a projector, too, requires certain skills. With a wireless version of DisplayPort everything will be easy - sitting on the couch you can redirect the video stream from the laptop screen on any compatible receiver .
At the moment, as reported VESA , in cooperation with the Alliance WiGig, a new working group, which aims to develop a certification program for problem devices with wireless DisplayPort. WiGig standard in the version 1.1 approved in summer 2011. One of the innovations of version 1.1 is support for wireless connections to a monitor or TV on appropriate protocols, HDMI and DisplayPort. Theoretical maximum throughput while not changed and is equal to 7 Gb / s and remained unchanged as stated recommended range communication - up to 10 meters (range 60 GHz).
With the release of certification program, the process of devices that support wireless protocol DisplayPort is significantly faster, and customers do not have to worry about hardware compatibility of a particular manufacturer. At first, by the way, WiGig / DisplayPort promises to appear in the form of plugs and adapters, in the dock.
