The future of home entertainment at Samsung road show

MANILA, Philippines - Samsung Electronics Philippines Corporation (SEPCO), a leader in digital media and digital convergence technologies, showcased its newest home entertainment products today at the “2012 Samsung AV Roadshow,” including TV and AV products that are more intuitive, more connected and more adaptable to the industry’s rapid pace of innovation.

“The Filipino consumers have been quick to adopt mobile technologies, like smartphones and tablets, that allow them to make their content accessible wherever they go,” said Ariel Arias, Samsung AV business unit head. “They expect not only greater accessibility, but greater, more compelling content — all of which are needs met through Samsung’s vision for the future of Smart TV.”

Samsung described how its 2012 product and content strategies promise continued innovation and excellence across the TV and AV categories.

Samsung’s Smart Interaction technology provides Smart TV users with a new, more natural and intuitive option for controlling and interacting with the TV. Samsung’s new Motion Control, Voice Control and Face Recognition commands advance user experience in a competitive TV market that values ease, convenience and choice. Users can turn the TV on or off, activate selected apps or search for and select content on the web browser — all without touching the remote.

Smart Interaction is available on the company’s 2012 flagship Smart TVs including the LED ES8000 series, the LED ES7500 series and the Plasma E8000 series, and features a built-in camera that recognizes movement in the foreground, as well as two microphones to recognize voice.

This year Samsung takes content one step further by evolving the way consumers discover and access apps — through a new Smart Hub that features a simpler, more personable UI in Full HD. Samsung’s Smart TVs also provide a much faster Smart TV experience powered by a new dual-core processor.

Samsung also showcased its commitment to convergence and content accessibility through AllShare Play, the essential tie between Samsung’s products, content and services. This Smart TV service allows content to be pushed or pulled, regardless of the user’s location, from device to device and device to cloud for limitless sharing. AllShare Play enables consumers to push content manually to the Cloud or pull the content directly from their Smart TV or other mobile devices.
