ROME - High resolution images and data that travel together in a single cable, high speed, over 10 gigabytes per second. In practice, an entire HD movie can be "transferred" in less than 30 seconds. Intel today announced the availability of "Thunderbolt", a new technology for high-speed connection to the computer that combines on a single cable to transfer data at high speed and image HD (high definition).
This technology developed by Intel, is on the market thanks to a technical collaboration with Apple, and is available for the first time in the new line of MacBook Pro notebook computer The idea behind the technology Thunderbolt (formerly code-named " Light Peak ") is to transfer media content faster, easier connections between devices and to create new ways to build and use computers.
The combination of HD video and data connections at high speed in a single cable is essential to implement this vision. Thunderbolt technology achieves these results through two communication methods, or protocols: PCI Express to transfer data and DisplayPor * for display. PCI Express has the flexibility to connect virtually any device, and DisplayPort enables higher display resolutions of 1080p and up to eight audio channels simultaneously.
Thunderbolt technology is compatible with the display and DisplayPort cards on the market. All the devices share a common connector Thunderbolt technology and allow users to simply plug in their devices waterfall, connecting via electrical or optical cables, one after another. Thunderbolt technology is designed to meet the needs of those who create an intensive media in high definition.
For example, graphics and video can give shape to their creativity by using capture devices / audio mixing and video-bandwidth and low latency that is get a very accurate synchronization for real-time processing. At 10 Gbps, large multimedia files are transferred quicker, with less waiting time before you can watch and edit videos.
You can quickly backup and restore data, reducing waiting times for the storage of content and this allows for greater assurance of integrity and availability of data even after any malfunction of the systems' storage ". For users of laptops, ultra-thin notebook is to have in a single connector that extends the capabilities of high-speed multimedia and HD display at home or in office.
"The management of HD multimedia content is one of the most challenging tasks that users perform with their PCs," said Mooly Eden, general manager of the PC Client Group, Intel. "With Thunderbolt, Intel offers an innovative technology to help professionals and consumers to work more quickly and easily through their collections of multimedia content, from music to HD movies.
We started by watching a quick and easy transfer of content between PCs and devices, and we turned it into reality. " "We collaborated with Intel to provide the technology now Thunderbolt Mac users," said Bob Mansfield, Senior Vice President of the Apple Mac Hardware Engineering. "With ultra-fast transfer rates, support for high-resolution display and compatibility with the technologies of existing I / O, Thunderbolt is a revolution for the industry and we believe that developers will appreciate." Technology Thunderbolt is powered by the Intel chip and uses a smaller connector suited for portable devices that are integrated into products that support this technology.
Many innovative companies have already announced products based on technology Thunderbolt or plan to support it soon. Among these Aja, Apogee, Avid, Blackmagic, LaCie, Western Digital Promise *. Intel is working with the industry on a wide range of technology-enabled Thunderbolt including computers, displays, storage devices, audio / video, photo and video cameras, docking stations and others.
