USB 3.0 fast enough to stream uncompressed 1080p video
Written by Andreas G 20 November 2008 21:23

A few days ago the final specification for USB 3.0 was unveiled by the USB 3.0 Promoter Group. This was timed to happen at the start of SuperSpeed USB Developers Conference, where companies have been showing off their own USB 3.0 solutions. One of the perhaps most impressive demonstration was down by Synopsys Inc that showed how you can stream HDTV over the USB 3.0 interface. Not just any HD signal though, but an uncompressed 1080p signal at 30 fps that requires a transfer rate of up to 450 MB/s.

These are transfer rates that makes most heavy duty RAID configurations to sweat but at same not entirely surprising since USB 3.0 is supposed to support speeds up to 600MB/s.

SuperSpeed USB allows for staggering transfer rates

The first SuperSpeed USD products will not appear until 2010, which leaves harddrive/SSD manufacturers with plenty of time to catch up, because we need a big boost to really make use of all this bandwidth.
