1 MHL What is it? Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) is a video interface derived from HDMI but targeted to provide an interface from mobile devices like smart phones to TVs or other displays. The MHL standard is designed to connect smart phones to HDTV displays. The standard cable reuses the existing 5 pin micro-usb connector that many phones have rather than requiring a separate 19 pin HDMI connector. The MHL cable is micro-usb on the source mobile device and HDMI Type A on the other end. The founding members of the MHL consortium are Silicon Image, Nokia, Samsung, Sony, and Toshiba.
