In January, Protocol<\/em> revealed<\/a> that Google was working on a cheaper Chromecast video streaming dongle<\/a> that would top out at 1080p resolution, which could possibly be sold as the \u201cChromecast HD with Google TV.\u201d <\/p>\n

Now, a new Google filing<\/a> with the Federal Communications Commission (via Droid-Life<\/em><\/a>) suggests that device is indeed on the way. <\/p>\n

Mind you, the FCC filing doesn\u2019t straight-up confirm a Chromecast. For now, it\u2019s simply designated the \u201cGoogle G454V.\u201d There aren\u2019t any juicy leaked pictures; the filings simply describe as a \u201cwireless device\u201d with dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11ac Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth LE. <\/p>\n

But if you\u2019ll let me direct your attention for a moment to this diagram, friends, I think it will all become clear:<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

The \u201cEUT\u201d is the gadget we\u2019re talking about, and this diagram is supposed to be a map of all its connections. Notice how it\u2019s behind the LCD display? Notice how it is not connected to the LCD display with any cables? Notice how the only<\/em> cable plugged into it is a power cable, and that power cable is USB? <\/p>\n

Also notice how it has a remote controller, and \u2014 in a related part of the filing below \u2014 it was tested streaming video at 1080p? <\/p>\n

Now, I suppose there could be some other<\/em> kind of gadget you\u2019d put behind a screen instead of a Chromecast… but it seems pretty likely we\u2019re not talking about a Nest wireless speaker. And while you might possibly pipe streaming video to a wireless soundbar or something of the sort which could pass video to the TV and have a remote control, there\u2019s no HDMI cable connected to the device in the test setup. Plus, Google has consistently favored barrel jacks for power across its Nest smart device lineup. <\/p>\n

But Google does have a gadget with a remote controller and USB power that gets directly plugged into a screen with no other cables involved. So I\u2019ll be very surprised if this isn\u2019t exactly the Chromecast that Janko at Protocol<\/em> uncovered.<\/p>\n

Not every device that hits the FCC gets released, but typically manufacturers don\u2019t submit them until they\u2019re relatively close. I\u2019d bet the price of a cheap Chromecast we see it this fall. I do wonder how low Google will go, though: the current Chromecast with Google TV already does 4K HDR for $50 (currently $40 on sale). <\/p>\n
