Looks like Google’s cheaper Chromecast is becoming a reality

Maria J. Smith 12 months ago

In January, Protocol uncovered that Google was performing on a less expensive Chromecast movie streaming dongle that would major out at 1080p resolution, which could potentially be sold as the “Chromecast Hd with Google Television set.”

Now, a new Google submitting with the Federal Communications Commission (via Droid-Everyday living) implies that gadget is certainly on the way.

Mind you, the FCC submitting does not straight-up affirm a Chromecast. For now, it is basically selected the “Google G454V.” There are not any juicy leaked photographs the filings just describe as a “wireless device” with twin-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11ac Wi-Fi moreover Bluetooth LE.

But if you are going to permit me direct your attention for a instant to this diagram, friends, I think it will all come to be very clear:

The EUT (Tools Below Test) seems to join immediately to a monitor with no intermediate cables, as very well as a wireless distant controller and Bluetooth earphone.

The “EUT” is the gadget we’re conversing about, and this diagram is intended to be a map of all its connections. Discover how it’s guiding the Liquid crystal display exhibit? Discover how it is not related to the Lcd show with any cables? Observe how the only cable plugged into it is a electrical power cable, and that energy cable is USB?

Also discover how it has a remote controller, and — in a associated aspect of the filing down below — it was tested streaming movie at 1080p?

Now, I suppose there could be some other kind of gadget you’d put driving a screen instead of a Chromecast… but it appears to be rather probably we’re not conversing about a Nest wireless speaker. And even though you could maybe pipe streaming video to a wi-fi soundbar or some thing of the kind which could pass online video to the Television set and have a remote command, there is no HDMI cable related to the system in the test setup. Additionally, Google has persistently favored barrel jacks for electricity across its Nest smart product lineup.

But Google does have a gadget with a remote controller and USB electricity that gets right plugged into a display with no other cables involved. So I’ll be incredibly stunned if this isn’t just the Chromecast that Janko at Protocol uncovered.

Not just about every system that hits the FCC gets released, but ordinarily suppliers really don’t submit them till they are comparatively shut. I’d wager the cost of a inexpensive Chromecast we see it this fall. I do speculate how reduced Google will go, while: the latest Chromecast with Google Television already does 4K HDR for $50 (currently $40 on sale).
