What Is the Most User Friendly HTML5 Set-Top Box?
Communications technology, with the birth of the Internet, has changed our world in ways previously unimagined. In ten years time this little innovation removed the obstacle of distance and altered our use of time. The Internet has invented a parade of new businesses like Google, created a host of new millionaires, instigated a stock market boom and bust and, most importantly, ignited the most concentrated explosion of innovation in modern time. The astonishing flood of ideas loosed by the Internet continues to transform communication, business and culture, and entrepreneurs have stepped up to develop uses for the Internet in record numbers.
Television was the original modern game changing innovation and we’ve been captivated by it ever since its inception. The introduction of cable and satellite television upped the ante by offering hundreds of stations. And, the latest media on-demand offers everything from sporting events, thousands of television shows, to movies, music and podcasts. This evolution continues with the introduction of set-top boxes, which combines both television and internet, allowing users to stream media to their TV using the internet.
What’s a Set-Top Box
The set-top box essentially transforms a television into an Internet interface through a device, or “box” that sits atop the TV – simple enough. The set-top box behaves as a code translator that receives then decodes TV broadcasts, enabling analog TV viewers to receive digital broadcasting.
Additional features permit the user to save and store programs to view later, download video at any time and stream Internet direct programming. And, of course the evolving standards in current technology innovation have advanced to offer the HTML5 set-top box.
Introducing HTML5
HTML5 is a language upgrade used for structuring content that has greatly improved media delivery and overhauled the HTML language. Because it is open and in the public domain, it requires no royalty payments. It also, remarkably, requires no plugins or additional software, so everything from movies and apps to music and all kinds of programming can be streamed natively with no fuss.
HTML5 also translates to Smart technology and mobile devices. HTML5 coding translates as a cross-platform that is compatible with Smart TV, Smartphone, Netbook, and Ultrabook , iPhone and iPad. It has redefined what, how and when online content is viewed on our televisions. It also ensures that movement from Internet content to VOD, broadcast, or on-demand is seamless.
HTML5 Set-Top Box
The advancement from set-top box to HTML5 set-top box is a natural progression as we become more facile with multiple technologies at whose heart is the Internet. We want to unify our technological processes in the same way innovators are seeking languages that speak universally and transcodes that universalize inventions and features.
We love television, but we love the computer too and now people want to enjoy television content that has computer capabilities as well. Set-top box manufacturers are innovating browsers to facilitate these capabilities and conversations between television, computer and mobile devices. The entrance of cross pollinating solutions that provide a broadcasting platform inclusive of HTML5 set-top box has arrived.
