What will be the standard features of smart TV in the future?

Although the intellectualization of TV has been carried out for several years, smart TV is always half a beat slower than smart phone. From interactive experience and fluency to the application of the latest technology, the experience improvement specifically belonging to the ecology of TV large screen is far beyond the vision of earth shaking changes brought by traditional TV.

TV consumers' demand for picture quality has not stopped. In addition to the programs produced by TV, network film and television resources, ultra-high definition film sources, video games, self-made videos and other content sources are also added. How to optimize the picture quality of these contents on the TV screen to a higher level is a new difficulty for all manufacturers.

However, there are more ways than difficulties. The increasingly dynamic TV industry has also put forward many new methods to make the TV in the market more powerful and practical.

1. The threshold of image engine is reduced.

The image engine is not really installed on the TV, but a series of software and hardware capabilities for image optimization to adjust the original image signal or video resources to a more authentic and more in line with the preferences of the audience. The image engine first appeared at the end of last century, when it completely relied on special enhancement chips.

With the rise of in-depth learning, image engines can achieve better picture optimization with a lower threshold. Head TV manufacturers have relevant technical reserves and product landing. The TV main control SOC gradually introduces the coprocessor, so that the image engine can be realized directly through the software algorithm without a special chip. So far, the image engine will no longer be the exclusive product of high-end TV, and is expected to enter more positioning products.

2. Popularize content and enhance capacity.

4K TV has become the mainstream, and 8K TV is also emerging. However, since its birth, the problem of ultra-high definition TV has not been solved, that is, the dilemma of high-definition film source. The relevant reasons are not listed in the table below. TV manufacturers with ultra-high definition picture display capability choose to take the initiative and add SR super-resolution, MEMC dynamic compensation and other functions to the products in an attempt to alleviate the embarrassment.

This is also the standard capability of high-end TV in recent years. After all, consumers always like clear and smooth pictures. Moreover, 720p can be improved to 4K super-resolution, and low frame rate pictures can be supplemented with dynamic compensation of 60 frames or even 120 frames. Chip manufacturers are also beginning to add support to more chips, so entry-level TVs can also use these pictures to enhance their capabilities.

However, the content enhancement ability of TV is more to solve the immediate urgent needs, and can not fill the content that has never appeared. The content producers and channels still need to provide solutions for the content road of HD TV. The good news is that the production specifications and transmission bandwidth are improving, and the number of HD UHD regular programs has increased significantly compared with two or three years ago.

3. More complete new interface.

It is no exaggeration to say that the ps5 and Xbox series X two next-generation game consoles have been ignited HDMI 2.1. Even computers can output high-resolution, high frame rate and high-quality images to TV. No,HDMI 2.1, I'm afraid I can't claim to be a TV that meets the game experience. The same is true for USB3.0. With high-speed TV, there will be no loading buffer or fast forward and fast backward waiting when reading large movies from mobile hard disk U.

Although the new interface on the machine only serves for picture input, it is still unlikely to introduce DP. After all, video and audio devices other than computers are rarely equipped as standard. However, usb-c, which supports data transmission and video input, may have the opportunity to become the standard configuration of TV. The memory and players such as mobile phones and computers using this interface are growing rapidly, which shows signs of becoming a new generation of unified interface.

One interface solves the needs that the past two interfaces can meet. It is more friendly to TV design and production, and consumers will be happy to see it.

4. Long distance voice changes lazy life

After the TV has the networking function, the biggest change is the intelligent experience represented by voice assistant, in addition to playing more film and television content from the Internet. In the past, you need to look for functions over and over on the TV menu. You need to look for programs on dozens of TV channels and give instructions to the voice assistant. It will help you do all this. However, there is still a little inconvenience.

Many voice assistants need to press the voice key of the remote control to call out. If they can't find the remote control for a while and a half, or can't see the position of the key in the dark, the voice will bring few changes. Therefore, the long-distance voice that does not need a special key to open must become the standard function of the TV. It can be operated with a short wake-up word. Closing the screen can also become a smart speaker without taking up additional space.

All parties in the industry are the next generation of voice assistants who can recognize everyone's voiceprint without wake-up words. They are on call to help you omit the whole process. Maybe they call for more than ten years of easy intelligent life.

5. Mature intelligent system.

Intelligent operating system has been the standard function of TV, but if you communicate with users, you will find that there are not many intelligent TV systems that can really gain praise.

First, the experience of intelligent system is poor. Outdated hardware configuration and rough interaction design lag behind, adding Internet advertising that users can't see. On the contrary, it is not as simple and direct as non intelligent TV. Second, in the past, no one knew what a good smart TV should be like. Many functions have been added, but users do not know how to watch TV content.

For TV use scenes, content is the real protagonist. Domestic and foreign TV manufacturers have noticed this and began to focus on TV programs, film and television dramas and movies as the system interface. Users can watch them by turning on TV. Intelligent recommendation system is also worth looking forward to. After all, it's not easy to find the one that suits you best. TV can learn users' preferences and actively recommend, which is obviously a more advanced approach.

6. High quality projection experience.

I believe many people will think about whether they can put mobile phone pictures and mobile phone film and television resources on TV. There have been DLNA and other schemes before, but few of them can be stable and have high image quality, which does not affect the normal use of mobile phones. For the problem of improving the screen projection, TV manufacturers with mobile phone brand background have the first mover advantage and can synchronously modify the software and hardware architecture of mobile phone and TV to bring a better experience.

The screen projection protocol is open, and more mobile applications join the screen projection support, so that TV manufacturers can make an article. Both high-end and low-end TVs can have a good screen projection effect with low delay. The reason why mobile phone screens are getting larger and larger is that people naturally prefer the screen performance of large screen devices. After supplementing the jigsaw puzzle related to screen projection, the TV will call back the home C position.

No matter which direction it is used or how cool the name is on the crown, these new TV functions are serving the content. Some make it easier to realize the good-looking picture, and some make the excellent content closer to the audience. The exclusive function of high-end TV has also begun to enter ordinary people's homes. The advanced TV experience no longer needs to cost too much.
