HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. and
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LVCC, CENTRAL
HALL, BOOTH 10404/10415 –VOXX Electronics Corporation (VEC), a
newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of VOXX International Corp.
(NASDAQ: VOXX), announced today the introduction of its line of
overhead and headrest systems that have HDMI/MHL connectivity to
allow a consumer direct connection to smartphones, tablets and even
SmartTV devices.
The new systems include certified HDMI/MHL inputs so that users
can connect their mobile devices, charge them and playback whatever
is on their mobile device on the rear seat monitor screens. This
greatly expands high definition audio and video content delivery
without eliminating older technologies (DVD) that are still heavily
used.
"These changes make our system's entertainment possibilities
literally endless," said Tom Malone,
President of VOXX Electronics Corp. "Our systems not only surpass
demanding OE standards, they also exceed consumer preferences in
style fit and function, which is why we have been at the forefront
of this market since its inception."
By being able to connect the digital output of a mobile device
(Smartphone/Tablet) to the HDMI/MHL inputs on VOXX's headrest and
overhead monitors, consumers can access apps on their mobile
devices and show them on the headrest or overhead screens. This
content can be movies stored on or streamed into the user's mobile
device (Wi-Fi access needed to stream or access internet/cloud
based apps), games, social media apps such as YouTube..literally
endless content options. In some cases the mobile device can
be used as the remote control for the headrest or overhead system
to play games.
The new HDMI/MHL systems are available now and will have MSRPs
starting at $499 and up.
