MediaTek UltraCast Brings 4K Streaming to Connected Devices

MediaTek is launching its UltraCast technology, the first chipset-enabled streaming technology on the market that enables users to enjoy 4K video content generated by their smartphones and stream it wirelessly to a 4K-ready television or set-top box.

MediaTek UltraCast extends standard Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast technology by adding the ability to stream 4K content. Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast is a standard for transmitting content through wireless connections from mobile or laptop devices to large display devices, such as TVs, monitors or projectors. Using Wi-Fi as the transmission vehicle, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast replaces the traditional cable connection between device and display.

UltraCast will be available on MediaTek Helio series smartphone chipsets and MediaTek 4K Ultra HDTV chipsets. UltraCast uses MediaTek?s video smoothing algorithm, preserving picture quality while reducing latency between devices.

UltraCast is now available for MediaTek partners and customers.
