CLEVER TVS and new era of digital television

One of the main tendencies of this year - close integration of digital television with the Internet. TVs with support of online services and appendices show qualitatively new possibilities. The modern CLEVER TV allows to work with various appendices, to play games, to send and accept video letters, to use iPhone or iPod as the DU panel.
CLEVER TVS - new possibilities
Modern digital devices are constantly improved, getting new simple and useful functions and additional possibilities. The classical desktop personal computer ceases to be the universal device and slowly turns into the specialized decision for business.
At the same time various mobile devices ensure functioning with documents and multimedia, surfing on the Internet, communication and communication. The similar situation is observed and in the sphere of household electronics where many functions of the computer with success carry out TVs, media players and Blu-ray players. However, modern TV is quite self-sufficient and besides "selects" functions not only at the personal computer, but also other devices. Today it is possible to argue safely that in a digital ecosystem of the "clever" house the cleverest is the TV.
In modern models the television fades into the background, giving way to a great number of others, not the related entertainments.
All eminent producers of TVs go practically on one way. It is defined by development of the technologies connected with demonstration of a content to the consumer. Today the main direction is support 3D which takes root everywhere. Certainly, each producer realizes it in own way, but through any time in the market there will be no panels without this function. Also essential factor is transition to digital television. The corresponding receiver, - an obligatory option for any modern TV created for Russia as in 2015 in our country digital telecasting (according to promises of officials) will come in the stead of the analog. Not so actively advertized, but not less important direction of development - integration with the TV of every possible Internet services, and also its use for communication with external devices of wireless interfaces.
Though all this to some extent is present at flagman models of TVs practically all producers, it is most interesting to consider new plasma and the VIERA LCD panels from the Panasonic company, and also devices with Smart TV support on an example of a new model range of Philips TVs. A lot of things from this that offers today the audience ON these TVs, competitors while only plan to introduce.
CLEVER TV - four important components
CLEVER TVS assume already today many functions of personal computers. The main difference of "clever" TV from less equipped analogs - the developed program component within which various services, online services and local appendices are gathered.
Today there are some such decisions, to number of the most popular the Smart TV platform belongs. It is based on four main components, each of which reverses our idea of use of the traditional TV.
First, in it essentially new approach to management is offered. Not so long ago we rejoiced to the DU universal panels, and now in them simply there is no need. Now for this role any smartphone or a tablet suits management of the CLEVER TV on the basis of iOS or Android. Everything that for this purpose is required, - to load the program from App Store or Android Market. Besides, the utility with similar possibilities is available and to Nokia smartphones in Ovi shop. Besides panel functions the main advantages of such decision - possibility of input of the text, fast exchange of information and files of multimedia. Well and if functions of the smartphone it will appear a little, possibility of connection of the keyboard compatible to the USB HID profile (by human interface device - a class of USB devices for interaction with the person) is provided. It is especially convenient for management of an online content.
The second component of Smart TV - the Simply Share technology which provides communication between the clever TV and a wide range of devices with Wi-Fi support. It is the simplest way of viewing of a photo and video on the big screen on a wireless communication channel.
The third component of CLEVER TELEVISION - the Net TV technology which was earlier present at Philips TVs as the independent decision.
Connection to a wire network or Wi-Fi - opens access to a set of online services of a potokovy broadcasting, shops of video films and video services on demand. Within Net TV there are many additional possibilities - for example, the Catch-up TV function, (while it is available only in Europe) which will help to watch the passed telecasts, and technology 3D Super Resolution will increase quality of the image on the screen and will fill color gaps that is especially important when viewing video from YouTube and similar services.
The fourth component of the new Smart TV platform - «Program», the virtual guidebook to channels. On the screen of the CLEVER TV the TV-program and the list of online channels in the form of the interactive catalog is at the same time deduced. The TV constantly analyzes the seen materials, and forms the separate list of a content which corresponds to preferences of the user. It is necessary to note possibility of programmed record for content preservation on the external USB store. The Pause TV function allows to put on a pause translation from the digital tuner - the buffer in volume of 4 Gbytes contains till 90 minutes of video.
In clever TVs of the Cinema series with a kinoformatny ratio of the parties 21:9 the Multiview mode which will be interesting to those who prefers to do some affairs at once is available. Like the personal computer, the clever TV displays at once some windows on one screen. So, quite really to watch a match and at the same time to send comments in Twitter or to look through the latest news in the Network.
CLEVER TVS just like smartphones
At Smart TV creation in Philips decided not to invent once again a bicycle. The main screen very much bears a strong resemblance to the increased display of the smartphone - the same widgets, icons, weather forecast visualization etc. All necessary appendices are placed on the screen of clever TV. The user himself chooses necessary appendices - possibilities of control are rather wide.
At present about 400 programs for TVs with Smart TV support are. Many of them are focused on work with services of the European TV companies, but the considerable part, like appendices for work with social networks or surfing on the Internet, isn't adhered to the concrete region or provider of services. The unique inconvenience consists that for the unclear reasons users of Smart TV are temporarily deprived of Skype support, but it should be corrected soon.
Smart TV - everything is made intelligently
The Smart TV platform is used in new Philips 6000, 7000, 8000 and 9000th TVs of series. Devices possess some interesting features of a design without which they wouldn't be considered as so "intellectual". So, without 3D-image support any TV now doesn't manage. Not the exception and the updated model range of Philips the-senior models support technology active 3D, younger - form the three-dimensional image with use of polarizing points.
One more important feature - clever Philips TVs allow to adjust depth of the three-dimensional picture according to perception of the user that is very important, after all the stereoimage is perceived strictly individually.
A lot of attention was given minor, at first sight, to details. For example, the support under TV at the same time carries out a role of wall fastening. It is convenient and economical, besides the design such is that allows to change a TV tilt angle. Thus, even if fastening is established roughly, itself TV is easy for exposing in strictly horizontal situation. Moreover, for reduction of thickness of the case engineers of Philips found the compromise solution, having placed loudspeakers in a support.
VIERA Connect
With the new VIERA Connect service the majority of the Panasonic VIERA TVs which have been let out in 2010-2011 works. Service provides access to the versatile entertaining content which is storing both in the Network, and on a local data carrier as which can act both the SD card, and the tablet of Apple iPad connected through a special docking station, and an iPod player which can be used as the DLNA server, and the TV - as the DLNA client.
DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) - a standard allowing compatible devices to transfer and accept on a home network a various media content (images, music, video) and also to display it in real time.
Besides, owners of iPhone, iPod touch and iPad can involve the gadgets as remote controls the TV - it is necessary to install the small application only.
Having got the clever TV with the built-in VIERA Connect service, it is possible to refuse the computer, the media center or a media player. All range of pleasures is available «from a box», without connection of peripherals and annoying wires. Everything that is required for "immersion" in the world of entertainments, - Internet access and the socket.
Video and music in the Network
We gradually come to that existence in the apartment of a TV-cable appears unessential - rather broadband connection to the Internet. It no wonder, after all on the Internet is both favourite music, and topical news, and fresh films. All this is grouped generally on specialized platforms, such as by YouTube where appears more and more HD video, or the server of media of a broadcasting of SHOUTcast. With these and many other services the CLEVER TV equipped with support of VIERA Connect also works. If in the Network you the entertaining content, need for the personal computer as an accessor to it, - disappears interests generally.
Social networks and communication
Refuse use of the computer active participants of social networks can also. At present VIERA Connect perfectly works with Facebook and Twitter, over time this list will extend.
Besides, service is closely integrated with Picasa, and for closer communication, than offered by social networks, in VIERA Connect there is Skype support. The built-in Skype service allows to carry out video calls by means of the clever TV. To make video calls, high-speed Internet access as quite expensive webcam offered as an option complete with the TV, transfers video signal with permission of 1280x720 points is required. For usual conversations connection can be any.
Games and appendices
One of the most interesting options of the VIERA Connect service - games and appendices. Using the menu of the CLEVER TV, it is possible to come into VIERA Connect Market shop and to load from there game. And play it you can by means of the controler, - it is offered to buy in addition it separately or to connect already available, the benefit the list of supported manipulators is very extensive. While only casual games (games for a wide range of users) are presented, but support and high-grade entertainments is announced. It is clear that you don't receive the game console, but as the practice shows, simply good set small, but interesting games for time korotaniye arranges many also. With business appendices while are worse, but they exist and, most likely, will be developed, as soon as Panasonic will open a platform.
Sports
Pleases that VIERA Connect isn't limited to one only Internet entertainments. So, the CLEVER TV helps to support itself in a good physical form and does sports activities of the house more various. For this purpose there is a number of programs and adaptations. For example, if to synchronize through Wi-Fi a racetrack with the TV, it is possible to choose real routes for jog, using the Google Street View service: you run, and on the screen the picture changes, moving you down the street the cities. Service quite correctly processes data from a path and changes speed of transformation of the image of the virtual city. Besides, changes of a relief are instantly reflected in the loading submitted by the exercise machine.
Add 3D
The potential buyer of the TV with support 3D has a question: «What can I look in this format?» And it is quite fair, after all the main 3D-content is limited to the films released on expensive Blu-ray carriers, and even more expensive games for Sony PlayStation 3. But now clever VIERA TVs learned to convert any 2D-image in 3D. Certainly, effect it is impossible to call high-grade, but even that turns out, looks much more interestingly than the flat picture. You can reconsider all the film library in new quality.
As a whole, on an example of new production of CLEVER TVS it is well visible, what huge way did the most ordinary receiver of radio-waves - from simple "box" to control center of house entertainments.
