USB 3.0 and Uncompressed 1080p Transfer at 450MBps

According to Engadget, we’ve all been adequately teased with what USB 3.0 will be able to do. Recently, a number of companies took the chance in San Jose, California to demonstrate just how quick the protocol is. Most notable, Engadget writes, was the demo by Synopsys, which prototyped an HDTV video transmission system based on USB 3.0. Onlookers were ‘widemouthed’ when viewing an uncompressed 1080p feed at 30 frames-per-second being transferred at around 450MBps. The supposed performance of wireless HD would be a real competitor to USB 3.0 for this and other applications, but given that wireless HD technology is “on track for an August 2298 release,” there is plenty of time for USB 3.0 to make a real impact.
