MediaTek introduces 4K video streaming for smartphones
 

Works with any Ultra HDTV using a MediaTek chipset

On Sunday, MediaTek announced UltraCast, a new chipset-enabled streaming technology that allows users of MediaTek Helio-based smartphones to stream 4K content wirelessly to their television sets and set-top boxes.

UltraCast is a proprietary technology that builds on MiraCast, the current Wi-Fi certified industry standard that allows for transmitting content from mobile or laptop devices to TVs, projectors and monitors. Although the video streaming market already uses a few wireless transmission standards, MediaTek says that UltraCast uses “advanced video-smoothing algorithms to preserve picture quality while ensuring latency between streaming devices is minimal”.
