As the rumors pointed, Google took the day of the launch of its new
Google Pixel
smartphones to launch a review of the famous
Chromecast
. This new version is called
Chromecast Ultra and brings a series of improvements over previous versions that make it much more powerful
.
For those who do not know the Chromecast, as a summary we could say that it is a device with which
we can retransmit content from an Android device or from the PC itself to our TV
. It can transmit all kinds of content, videos, audio, photos, Youtube video, Chrome browser tabs, etc.
Chromecast Ultra, the new version with improved audio and video transmission.
One of the main
novelties of the Chromecast Ultra
, is the possibility of transmitting videos in 4K resolution. Resolution 4K has already arrived some time ago to our domestic television sets and it seems that it is having a good reception. Even so,
if you have a TV that stays in Full HD without reaching 4K, you can also get much out of the Chromecast Ultra
, as the image quality improves.
Another of the new features is the
improvement of the WiFi connection
, which allows to reduce the latency and improve the quality of image and audio. In cases where the WiFi connection is not fast or stable enough,
this new version of the Chromecast includes an Ethernet port with which to get higher speeds
.
In terms of image improvements, the
ability to stream with
HDR
technology
has been incorporated, a technology that is also becoming fashionable in domestic television.
The appearance of the Chromecast Ultra is similar to the previous version, with a rounded design, but this time, the upper case of the device shows the
"G"
of Google and not the Chrome logo as in previous versions.
Chromecast ultra will be available starting in November for a starting price of
79 euros
.
