Why not just use an analog connection between the mobile device and the HDTV?
Analog composite or component video requires up to three video connectors and two to eight audio connectors for multi-channel audio support, for a total of three to 11 connectors while providing only low quality analog 480i picture. This puts a burden on the manufacturer to integrate larger docking stations to accommodate the connectors. In some cases, manufacturers have implemented an interface to transmit compressed media between the mobile device and dock. The dock implements full digital signal processor and supporting circuits to decode compress media, before outputting uncompress video to the television. This is an expensive solution duplicating the functions that already exist in the mobile device. MHL technology solves this problem with a low-cost, low pin count interface. In Summary, what are the key features of MHL technology?
