Read all about it on p78 & p17 It’s the biggest portable video player yet – check Welcome to Digital Home out the 7-inch LCD p54 Three years ago, the idea of a ‘digital home’ didn’t stretch far beyond having a computer in one room and your TV and VCR in another. The two could be linked together, but only five star geeks knew how. Today, Media Center Edition PCs have the potential to bring the two rooms together, enabling you to record TV, browse digital photos and listen to your MP3 music collection. In the 2005 edition of the MCE software, you can burn recorded video to DVD and have MSN Messenger running in the background while you couch potato through Match of the Day with a bowl of chips. It’s easy to become a fan. But if Media Centers are so flexible and powerful, why have sales been so sluggish? Why aren’t all new PCs being sold as Media Center PCs? Has it been the sobering fact that they’re three times as expensive as a DVD recorder? Or are their prospects still hindered by their legacy IT complexities, making them fiddly to use and prone to a myriad of random system problems? Yes, there’s safety in a consumer electronics device, but there’s undeniable vision and power in an IT-based one. While Media Center PCs are far from perfect, looking at machines like the Elonex Lumina and the Hi-Grade DMS 2 this issue, we can see that they’re getting better all the time. We’ve picked the best Media Center PC systems for this month’s Top Ten test – the countdown starts on page 61. It’s the highlight of a packed issue that also includes a Buyer’s Guide to Big TVs (page 27). See why DLP is often better than LCD, and how CRT sets are about to make a comeback. Enjoy the issue.

DIGITAL HOME 5 Connec t PLUG IN TO THE LATEST PRODUCTS & TECHNOLOGY THE ROAD TO HDTV Prepare for all-digital signals, high-quality pictures and hard disk recording when Sky launches high-def in the UK New details of the UK’s first high definition TV service, set to debut in 2006, confirm that you can expect visuals of startling quality, with an all-digital link between the HDTV receiver and your TV. Broadcasters will be able to transmit programmes in the highest quality HDTV format available. But owners of older TV sets could be left because of plans to encrypt the broadcasts all the way to the screen, for which you’ll need a new or recently bought set. The HDTV service is being planned by Sky, which aims to offer high-def entertainment, sport and documentaries over its satellite network from next year. The service is sure to incur an extra subscription cost, and you’ll need a brand-new set-top box to receive programmes. Speaking at the recent DVB World conference (DVB is the Europe-wide standard for digital TV broadcasts), Sky’s chief operating officer Richard Freudenstein said the new boxes would decode both HDTV formats – 720p and 1080i, and broadcasters will be free to choose which will suit their programming. The devices will provide an HDMI connection that will send a pure digital signal to your TV. Cable connections such as Scart lose some picture quality because they convert the signal to analogue, but an HDMI link should result in a picture that’s indistinguishable from the original. To take advantage, your TV will need to have either an HDMI or a DVI socket. If you’re buying a new TV, Sky recommends that you look for the ‘HD Ready’ label, which confirms that the set has a screen resolution of at least 720 DIGITAL CONNECTIONS Most new plasma, LCD and DLP carries a video signal that’s televisions now include a digital compatible with the one used by socket connection as well as HDMI, but no audio, which traditional analogue links such instead goes through a separate as Scart or component output. analogue connection.

Zhang Yimou also directed Hero, which was released earlier this year on DVD to great critical acclaim.

    Smart TV - a More Interactive Way of Watching TV

    Smart TV - a more interactive way of watching TV Karin Nilsson Helander Karin Nilsson Helander HT 2012 Master’s Thesis in Computing Science, 30 hp Supervisor: Stefan Berglund Extern Supervisor: Kenneth Andersson Examiner: Hakan˚ Gulliksson Master of sience program in Interaction and Design, 300 hp Abstract Smart TV, also known as Connected TV, is the new generation of tele- vision. It can be connected to the internet and enables the user to surf the web and use TV specific applications. The TV applications avail- able today however are more like smartphone applications shown on a big screen. Applications should take advantage of the fact that they are located on a TV and make use of TV specific content. Smart TV can engage the viewer by a more interactive way of ”watching” TV. The way TV consumers watch TV today has been analysed and a change in consumer behaviour has occurred over the last decade. The TV view- ers have gone from a relaxed TV mood with all focus directed towards the TV to a multitasking mood, using second screens for additional ac- tivities related, as well as unrelated, to what is on the TV. People want to engage in a more interactive way of watching TV and this is especially true for so called ”borderless” consumers which include people that like and owns technical devices. In this thesis a prototype of a Smart TV application that takes advantage of the content available on the TV, called Quiz TV, was developed. It engages the user in a more interactive way of watching TV and lets the user play a quiz about what is shown on the TV while watching it.
