The Kitvision MHL Adapter Cable converts your phone or tablet"s MHL port into a standard HDMI port for HD playback Modern mobile phones and the latest generation of tablets are so thin it"s not possible to integrate an HDMI port within them. To compensate, many manufacturers have included MHL ports on their devices. These Mobile High-Definition Link ports look and act like micro USB ports, but can also be used with an appropriate adapter to stream HD content and digital audio to an HDMI-equipped TV, monitor or projector. The adapter supports full 1080p playback, so no matter how powerful your device you can be sure this cable is up to the job. Micro USB port on the side of the adapter lets you charge your phone while in use Video playback can be very battery-intensive, especially with HD video. To combat this, KitVision have integrated a standard micro USB port into the adapter, so you can plug in a charger or USB cable and enjoy your high-definition content without worry about if it"s going to cut out when the battery dies. Please note, the adapter must be plugged into the mains, you cannot use a computer"s USB port for power. Small form factor makes it easy to carry with your device Unlike other MHL adapters with bulky casings or long cables, the KitVision adapter is made to be as compact as possible without sacrificing functionality. This means you can take it with you wherever you take your phone or tablet, so you"re always ready to show off your HD videos.
