Intel has announced the launch of its technology Thunderbolt, a new high-speed connection for computers that allows us to combine high-speed transfer of data and graphics in high definition (HD) in a single cable. With a capacity of 10 Gbps., Thunderbolt technology can transfer a HD film in less than 30 seconds.
This solution, developed by Intel hit the market through technical collaboration with Apple, and will be available first in the new range of MacBook Pro laptops from Apple. The perspective that has been created Thunderbolt (so far received the code name "Light Peak") is to transfer digital media more quickly, simplify connections between devices and encourage new and exciting ways to design and use computers.
The combination of connecting high-speed data and HD video on a single cable is essential to achieve this goal. Thunderbolt technology is made possible by two methods, or protocols, communications: PCI Express for data transfers and DisplayPort for the screens. PCI Express offers great flexibility, allowing you to connect virtually any device, while DisplayPort can work with screen resolutions of up to 1080p and transmit up to eight audio channels, all simultaneously.
Thunderbolt is suitable for televisions and existing DisplayPort adapters. All devices equipped with this technology share a common connector connecting chain (daisy-chain) devices, one after another, either by electrical or optical cables. Thunderbolt technology has been designed to suit the needs of content creators most demanding high definition.
For example, in a recording can unleash the creativity to be able to use capture devices and audio and video mixed with a large bandwidth, while achieving low latency synchronization and high precision to carry out trial in real time. With a bandwidth of 10 Gbps., The largest multimedia files are transferred at higher speeds, so you spend less time waiting to view and edit videos.
Similarly, accelerating the process of creating and restored backups, so that waiting times for access to archived content is drastically reduced. For laptop users, this technology involves the use of a single connector that can extend their ability to work with content at high speeds and connect to high definition screens, both at home and at work.
Thunderbolt technology is a complement to other technologies for data input and output that Intel continues to develop. "Working with HD content is one of the most demanding tasks that people want their computers," said Mooly Eden, general manager of Intel's PC Client Group. "With the help of Thunderbolt technology, Intel will allow consumers and professionals work with their content, more quickly and easily, whether music or HD movies.
We have adopted a technology vision in which we were looking for quick and easy transfer between computers and other devices, and made it reality. " "We are excited to collaborate with Intel to bring its revolutionary technology to Thunderbolt Mac users," said Bob Mansfield, Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering division for Apple Mac.
"Thanks to the very high transfer speeds and compatibility with high resolution screens offering Thunderbolt, along with its compatibility with the input and output technologies existing data, this technology becomes a revolution for the industry, and we that developers will greatly enjoy the opportunities offered.
" Thunderbolt technology is managed by an Intel controller chip, and uses a small size connector suitable for mobile devices that will be included in products compatible with this technology. Several innovative companies have announced products based on this technology, or plan to offer the same support in their upcoming products, including: Aja, Apogee, Avid, Blackmagic, LaCie, Promise, and Western Digital.
Intel works together with companies to create a range of products compatible with Thunderbolt technology such as computers, monitors, storage devices, video and audio devices, cameras, docking stations, and many more.
