AliceSamsung Electronics has announced that all of its Smart TVs in 2015 will come equipped with its new Tizen operating system.
Tizen is a standardised open-source platform that enables flexibility with even more content and devices, allowing developers to create compatible content.
“Building our Smart TV Platform around Tizen is a ground breaking step towards a much more intelligent and integrated system,” comments Robert King, vice president of consumer electronics at Samsung Electronics UK and Ireland.
“Tizen not only enhances the entertainment experience for our customers today but unlocks great potential for the future in home entertainment.”
The Smart Hub features easy access to content with the first screen displaying the owner’s most recent content and tailored recommendations, as well as including an optimised four-direction control option.
Another important update to the system is how easily the TV syncs with other devices. Using Wi-Fi Direct, content is shared from a mobile device to a TV and vice-versa with one click.
With Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Samsung’s Smart TV software automatically searches for Samsung mobile devices nearby and connects to them.
This easy convergence allows people to enjoy a multi-screen experience with access to entertainment across multiple compatible devices.
It is also possible to watch live broadcasts or TV on their mobile devices anywhere on their home network, even when their TV is powered off.
