MHL technology and SlimPort

HDMI technology (High Definition Multimedia Interface) - This is almost the first standard, will allow for the connection of the smartphone to the big screen television sets (monitors). Moreover, its developers, including companies such as Philips, Hitachi and the Sony, initially (in 2002) did not expect to use your phone as a source of transmission of video to the TV. To this came only after the mass distribution of smartphones. Therefore, there were type connectors micro-HDMI and mini-HDMI. The main disadvantage HDMI technology is considered the need to provide additional smart phone connector, which increases the thickness and weight of the phone. It managed to eliminate it in the process of developing the standard MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link), which brought together the functionality of interface micro-USB and HDMI. At the same USB technology allows you to charge your smartphone battery, and HDMI - to transmit high quality signal (video + audio). To connect to a TV at the same time you need to use an adapter converter of one of two types:

• Type I (passive) - micro-USB-> HDMI c complementary connector micro-USB, for connecting the external power supply;

• Type II (active) - micro-USB-> HDMI, in which your phone's battery is being charged via an HDMI cable.

Another technology developed as an alternative to HDMI - Standard Slim Port. Its working principle is virtually identical to the MHL technology. It uses superficially similar adapters that connect to the connectors micro-USB and HDMI.

Slim Port Standard, in addition, allows you to connect your phone to the big screen TV or computer monitor using the VGA standard. To do this, use the appropriate adapter.

From the standard MHL Slim Port technology is characterized by the absence of patent liability in relation to the HDMI. Slim Port Technology is extremely rare and is only implemented in the last line of smartphones and tablets brand Nexus.

Wireless technology

Recently, almost all well-known manufacturers of telephones and televisions have started to get rid of wires when connecting external devices, and use of this wireless technology. One of the best known and most common technologies - Wi-Fi.

In general, a wireless telephone connection to the TV in the following order:

• in the tab "Wireless Networks" smartphone find the desired application and activate it;
• select "Network" section and activate a similar application in the TV menu. If such a clause is not there, it means that TV does not support the activated phone technology, and the connection is not to be;
• after the activation of the application on both devices on the TV screen will be able to select the phone to connect. You need to select the model of your smartphone and confirm by pressing "Yes".

Alternative standards for wireless data transmission

Based on the standard Wi-Fi wireless data transmission it has developed a number of alternative technologies, connectivity to compatible devices. Initially, not all of them are allowed to transfer data from your phone to the TV receiver, but with time overcome this disadvantage, and now these standards are supported by virtually all existing digital devices. Connection principle remains the same, with the main role in this process is now their compatibility with each other. These standards include:

• DLNA - modern technology intended for quick transmission of information between devices, included, for example, the home IP-group. The basis for this technology is the operating environment that can be run on the basis of both wired and wireless standards. Support DLNA standards often hide under the names of other technologies, for example, the Samsung named its standard All Share, Philips - Simple Share, and Apple - AirPlay;
• Streambels - technology that can broadcast the media files on your TV sets compatible with AirPlay protocol. At the same time built DLNA function allows you to connect your smartphone to any TV receivers supporting this standard;
• WiDi (Wireless Display) - a technology developed by Intel as an alternative to the standard Wi-Fi Miracast and is currently compatible with it. It provides the video with a resolution of 1080 pixels. The phone and tablet technology Wi-Fi is rare. The reason - lack of models with x86 processors;
• AirPlay - standard created by Apple for interoperable own production units. In the first stage AirPlay provided only view files stored on the iPhone or the iPod, but then, with the advent of technology AirPlay Mirroring, it became possible to use a large screen TV for watching movies and games, derived from phone.

Currently on the market there are no digital devices that support all data transmission technology. Each manufacturer provides support for a particular interface, so a potential customer, buying home digital devices, should decide for itself whether it will display the video from your phone to a large screen television and how it implement.

Proprietary technology manufacturers

Despite the existence of convenient and widespread technologies to quickly and easily synchronize your phone and the TV producers individual, as a rule, popular brands have chosen to establish their own standards, simplifying connection between the devices of one manufacturer a. Among them are such well-known companies, such as:

In this case, we will not consider outdated model, which was only given the opportunity to connect a tape recorder to record TV programs and will focus on a number of obsolete LCD TVs equipped with a sufficiently large number of input and output jacks for connecting a variety of external devices, for which the output has been implemented in format:

• RGB - connect connectors type SKART;
• component signal (Y Pb Pr) - sold on the connectors of the "tulip";
• S-Video - realized for round 4 or 5-pin connector;
• RCA composite signalUniting all video components in one - connected connector "tulip".

All of these external devices connected to the television receivers by means of special connectors located on its rear cover.

Each of these television connectors can be used for connecting a smartphone, using the appropriate adapter cable for this. The difficulty is to find a suitable adapter on the radio type micro-USB-> RCA, micro-USB-> SKART or micro-USB-> S-Video.

After all, unlike the television remote control, which has been losing the smartphone is always "at hand".

It should be noted that the functionality of a smartphone is quite capable of performing remote control functions of a modern TV receiver. To do this, simply download the appropriate application in the smart phone and activate it. The developers offer as a universal program, allowing to manage the simplest functions of different TV sets, and "Proprietary" software that turns a smartphone into a full remote control of a particular model of many renowned manufacturers (Sony, LG, Philips et al.).

In the Google Play online store you can find the program and download it for free.

Among the universal programs that can turn a simple smartphone into a remote control, the greatest interest is the TV Remote app.

This application is characterized by high flexibility. In this case, the smart phone in which it is activated, allows the connection of one of three ways:

• Wi-Fi;
• IR-blaster;
• Infrared.

The display of the smartphone need to choose the model of the television receiver, enter its IP-address, and specify the connection method.

With the TV Remote application, you can turn on / off the TV, switch the TV channels, as well as adjust the volume or mute the sound while watching TV.

After considering numerous options to connect the smartphone to the TV receiver of any manufacturer, we see that it's just enough. Using one of the existing standards, can be viewed on the big screen photos, movies and so on. It is only necessary that the mobile phone and the TV receiver supporting relevant standards.
