Google Chromecast Ultra deals with big 4K streams the ‘old-school’ way

One of the many products Google released at its #madebygoogle event is a new Chromecast dongle. While it looks similar to what Google has released in this category before, what sets it apart is it supports both 4K and HDR streaming. Google claims the Chromecast Ultra can also start streams 1.8x faster this time around and it has better Wi-Fi reception, too. The Ultra is powered via microUSB and can be charged off TVs that provide enough power over USB or through the included AC adapter. But how does it handle the high-bandwidth needed by 4K videos? Google’s answer is an Ethernet adapter. Simply plug it into the device and you don’t have to worry about the Wi-Fi connectivity you have at home.
