No flash required thanks to new technology from Broadcom

[shared_counts]

NEW TECHNOLOGY from Broadcom will allow consumers to stream Hulu, YouTube or Netflix videos to any connected TV, regardless of whether that device supports Flash or not.

According to a report on NewTeeVee, Inconcert Maestro combines existing and emerging home networking technologies with software installed on a PC.  The computer then sends out these video streams via Wi-Fi Direct, an emerging P2P networking standard that enables Wi-Fi devices to directly talk to each other without the help of any access point.  Any DLNA-certified device can then receive and display those streams.

The first devices making use of the Inconcert Maestro are scheduled to reach stores in time for the holiday season.
