One-Piece Cable For Mirroring iPadR 2 and iPhoneR 4 Display On HDTV
RedMere, the pioneer of smart active cable technology for HDMI, announced that its single-cable solution for mirroring the iPad® 2 and iPhone® 4 display to an HDTV will be available to U.S. consumers this summer and will be sold by the company’s brand-name marketing partners. RedMere said the new cable will be an integrated unit eliminating the need for a “dongle” and separate HDMI cable. The sleek all-in-one RedMere cable will incorporate the company’s self-powered integrated circuit which lets users directly connect their iPad 2, iPhone 4, and fourth-generation iPod® Touch to an HDTV or other high definition display or projector.
“TRedMere’s brand partners include VIZIO®, Inc., Samsung®, PNY Technologies®, Inc., Monster®, and RadioShack®; the company would not reveal whether these brands or others would market the iPad 2 mirroring cable technology. Smyth said the product’s retail pricing would be determined by RedMere’s partners.
“The iPad 2 is a great portable device for streaming movies and sharing business content. Having a RedMere-powered mirroring cable means always having a simple solution for letting a roomful of people join in.”
