September 11 news, in addition to a new generation of iPhone, Apple recently released a new generation of Apple TV set-top boxes at a major conference. There are many interesting features of the product, such as a new remote control, Siri voice control and search, and more.
The new Apple TV will be available at the end of October and comes in 32GB and 64GB versions, priced at $149 and $199, respectively. It comes with a brand new operating system, a beautiful and stylish interface, voice control features, and more.
Here's a look at the coolest 11 features of the product:
tvOS: New operating system based on iOS
When it comes to the features of the new Apple TV, it must be said that a major change: Apple introduced a brand new operating system to its set-top box products. The new system provides an interface similar to the old interface, but Apple simplified it and changed the background color from black to white.
Apple named the new operating system "tvOS". It is built on iOS and incorporates a number of different changes, such as supporting new remote controls. In addition to the interface, the core elements of tvOS include Siri-based voice search, universal search among apps, mature application stores, game support, and more.
New Apps: Apps for Apple TV
The new generation of Apple TV has a variety of applications, and the application can be said to be a major theme. Apple also opened a new Apple TV App Store, and it hopes that developers will be able to develop specialized tvOS apps and games for the device (the SDK software development kit has been distributed to developers).
At the Apple conference, Michelle Peluso, CEO of the e-commerce site Gilt Groupe, presented the new Gilt app for Apple TV. She demonstrated how to use the new remote control to scroll or slide the Gilt application.
For example, the Instant Buy button will appear on the product page. Just click on the new remote control and you will be able to place orders. Netflix, Hulu and HBO also introduced new applications for tvOS.
The iTunes Movies movie application has also been redesigned and the Apple Music Music app will soon provide Beats radio functionality.
New Remote Control: Touchpad, Motion Sensing, Siri, etc.
The new Apple TV comes with a new remote control that supports motion sensing. It's quite slim, with a trackpad and buttons for menus, Home interface, volume, and Siri. The dual microphones for Siri are located on the top of the remote control, and the black touchpad is covered with glass (similar to the MacBook's touchpad).
You will also notice the small IR IR interface on the remote control that sends volume control commands to the TV. At the bottom, there is a Lightning connector for charging the remote control (recharging can last for 3 months). The power switch is relatively concealed. It can be used to control the switch of a TV that supports HDMI CEC linked control.
The remote control also connects to Apple TV via Bluetooth 4.0, so the user does not have to align it with the set-top box when using it.
The new remote can also be used as a game controller
Slide your finger on the remote's touchpad and you will be able to navigate the screen on the TV screen. In addition, you can use the remote control to use it as a game controller. The remote has an accelerometer and gyro sensor, which means it can function as a Wii console controller.
Touch remote control brings up relevant information
The new Apple TV remote can also be used to call up relevant information. Slide the touchpad downwards and you can call up the details of the content you are watching.
Friends can participate in the game through the iPhone
As mentioned above, the new Apple TV supports playing games through the remote control. And if your friend doesn't have a remote, there's no problem: Players can use their iPhone or iPod Touch to participate in the game with no more than 4 players. After the conference, Apple also revealed to the media that the new Apple TV will also support third-party game controllers.
During the hands-on experience, you can see that the SteelSeries Nimbus controller can be used to control one player, while the remote, iPhone or iPad can control other players.
Universal Voice Search: Let Siri Find Your Movie
The new Apple TV supports Siri and introduces intelligent voice search.
All search results can be sorted by popularity. When you call Siri to find a movie, TV show, or song, it searches not only for iTunes, but also Netflix, Hulu, Showtime, and HBO applications. You can also search by actors and content categories. For example, you could say to Siri "Show Me Bond's Movie," or "Show Me a Movie by Sean Connery."
This is where Apple TV becomes smarter. Apple quietly introduced the kind of conversational search that Google described previously. Therefore, you can streamline your content selection through the dialogue Siri.
Calling Siri forward and back Siri can not only show you what you want to see, it can also help you move forward and backward, no matter what you are looking at. You just have to talk to it and say, "Siri, give me rewind 15 seconds," or "What did he/she just say?" If you don't want to use Siri to move backwards and forwards, you can also click and slide to operate new Remote control to achieve that effect.
Digital Assistant: Let Siri check the weather, etc.
Don't forget that Siri's primary role is digital assistants, and it's the same on Apple TV. It can call up weather forecast information to answer your questions. It will show all answers and search results at the bottom of the screen. If you want to display that information in full screen, slide the remote control's touchpad up.
Streaming iPhone Content: Playing 4K Video in 1080p
The new iPhone can record 4K video at a frame rate of 30fps, but of course you will also be able to play those videos on your TV via Apple TV. However, since the new set-top box does not support 4K, all videos will be reduced to 1080p.
tvOS integrates Apple's smart home platform HomeKit
There have been reports that the new Apple TV will support HomeKit - Apple's architecture designed to simplify the current state of intelligent automation. Apple did not respond positively to Apple TV's request for such integration, but it said HomeKit is within the developer's tvOS SDK software development kit.
Therefore, in theory, developers may be able to develop apps that can be alerted through Apple TV push notifications to devices that are compatible with HomeKit. You may also be able to use Siri to control those devices. But for the time being, this is just speculation.
Phenolic Paper Laminated Sheet is a hard, dense material made by applying heat and pressure to layers of paper or fabric, impregnated with a synthetic resin. These phenolics are approx half the weight of aluminum and their physical toughness resists abrasion, friction, impact, and material fatigue. Special properties fight off the corrosive action of water and many chemicals, increasing the service life and efficiency of your product parts. The insulating qualities of each grade, such as low dissipation factor and excellent dielectric strength, make them valuable for many precise electrical and electronic applications.
It is made of insulating impregnated paper impregnated with phenolic resin and baked and hot pressed. Has high mechanical properties. The heat resistance level is E level.
