MHL common interface and USB
MHL Another advantage is its ability to transfer all the various formats. "Eidson said. We see mobile phones and television is very different, it can support a variety of media formats, including MPEG4, H.264, AVI, Quick time, or windows media, even the RM / RMVB. Traditionally We use the USB interface it with the TV docking, but do have a bad place, because television to receive these signals to the signal after decompression and decryption, the process damage the clarity of the signal, and MHL in transmission eliminates the need to understand the process of making the compression part of TV, these signals can be transferred intact to the HDTV and play out, signal quality to support a variety of formats is not subject to any damage.

However, there are some companies hope to complete by a connector of all functions, so you can make use of USB and MHL with a connector, "but, MHL do not need a special connector which is a 5Pin interface, so you can insert the current Some, or new custom connector in which case the examples of Apple's iPod and Microsoft Zune connector connector. "he added.
      "MHL interface also has a great advantage is that it can never apply to your TV transmission requirements and emerging media trends, you do not need to replace the TV for a long time and we know that the phone and some shooting equipment replacement frequency is very high, but the investment for the majority of TV users who want to invest time he would use this TV for many years, so that with the MHL interface, it can accept multiple formats of high definition television signals without the need for replacement TV's additional investment.
