`IN MASS PRODUCTION
`
`SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 16, 2011 - MHL, LLC, the entity responsible for administering the MHL Consortium and
`the adoption, licensing and promotion of the MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) Specification, today announced that
`the first mobile phones with MHL connectivity are now in mass production the Samsung Galaxy S II and Infuse™
`4G. MHL technology enables the delivery of up to 1080p HD video and 7.1 digital surround sound audio via a cabled
`connection from the mobile phone to the display, while simultaneously providing power to the phone.
`
`"Enabling a seamless experience across multiple devices and screens is critical to the new era of the connected
`consumer, and MHL's specification contributes to this development of smart consumer devices," said Michael J.
`Palma, IDC's research manager for electronics manufacturing services. "With its market share position in
`smartphones, Samsung's adoption of the MHL specification represents a step forward for MHL technology."

`
`played a significant role in creating and driving the Consortium forward. The goal of the Consortium is to establish
`MHL technology as a cost-effective and easily integrated audio/video interface standard optimized for mobile
`connectivity.
`
`"2011 is expected to be an exciting year for MHL technology as partners and licensees of the standard introduce
`MHL-enabled products that provide consumers with a great optimized-for-mobile user experience every time they
`connect their device to their display," said Tim Wong, president of MHL, LLC. "Samsung is taking the mobile
`experience and bringing it to the big screen with the release of the first MHL-enabled smartphones."
`
`Key features outlined in the MHL specification include:
`
`Mobile Device Charging by Display: MHL technology enables the delivery of power from MHL-enabled
`displays to operate the mobile device and charge its battery, while simultaneously playing content.
`HD Video and Audio: 1080p high-definition video and 7.1 digital audio is supported for the optimal mobile
`viewing and listening experience.
`Command and Control: Consumers can use DTV remotes to control any MHL-enabled mobile device.
`Thin Cables: Portable, five-wire cables are used for the delivery of high-definition video and digital audio.
`Use of Existing and Popular Connections: Does not need an additional connector.
`
`MHL adapters will be available so that consumers can connect these smartphones to existing displays and also
`enjoy the MHL benefit of charging the device while viewing HD content on the big screen.
