According to Foshan News, almost every household in both small and large families owns a TV set. On July 28th, the "Together with You, Is the World – 2017 Guangdong Radio and Television Network New Digital Home Developers Conference and 4K TV Network Application Launching Ceremony" took place in Guangzhou. During the event, Guangdong Radio and Television Network announced its commitment to promoting new family intelligence through a gateway-centric approach. They emphasized the strong promotion of 4K TV network applications. Platforms for digital TV and on-demand broadcasting that support 4K have been established, and the capacity to deliver 4K programming will continue to grow. A new wave of digital home operations is set to begin, promising clearer and more engaging TV viewing experiences for residents.
**Clearer:** Entering the Era of High-Definition Television
What sort of journey has the public's TV viewing experience taken? From increasingly clear pictures to enhanced service functions, this is likely the intuitive experience many can relate to. Around the turn of the millennium, families entered the era of analog television, which allowed them to watch several dozen programs and was considered cutting-edge at the time. A decade later, we saw the advent of digital TV, marking another milestone. From 2010 to 2015, we entered the age of digital TV high-definition bidirectionality, allowing citizens to interact with HD TVs and enjoy low-speed broadband. This year marks the beginning of the smart TV era, featuring 4K ultra-high-definition, on-demand services, fast broadband, and smart home integration—key buzzwords of our time.
How does one achieve a 4K experience? Essentially, it involves three components: an ultra-high-definition TV signal source, a channel capable of transmitting ultra-high-definition content, and a TV that can play 4K content. Guangdong Radio and Television Network has built a network and established a platform to handle these intermediaries, ensuring service upgrades.
**What’s the Difference with 4K?** Reporters learned that 4K refers to a resolution of 3840×2160, a high frame rate (60 fps), Dolby surround sound, and high dynamic range imaging. Watching TV will be clearer, more realistic, and more three-dimensional. Currently, the general public uses high-definition TVs, which are technically considered 2K; after upgrading technology and equipment, they can reach 4K, with 8K expected to enter households in the future.
**More Fun:** Smart Gateways Bring New Experiences to Families
This year, Guangdong Broadcasting Network’s new home smart gateway, the “Benefit Home Server,†serves as an evolution of digital TV set-top boxes and will play a crucial role in 4K TV ultra-high-definition transmission channels. Ye Zhirong, the company's chairman, stated: "Our provincial radio and television network already has over 20 million home users and has achieved initial interconnectivity, interaction, and intelligence. The most pressing task now is to collaborate with companies from other industries. First and foremost, we aim to foster openness, starting with the new home intelligence gateway."
"In the future, not every TV will need a separate set-top box. A single 'Advantage Home Server' installed in a family can provide all TV services to the living room and bedrooms," explained Engineer Li Jianhua.
Reports indicate that compared to previous set-top boxes, the "Advantage" supports four channels of 4K signals and allows four home TVs to play different content simultaneously. This marks the end of the era of multiple set-top boxes and multiple subscription fees, allowing citizens to watch TV and save money. Additionally, once the "Advantage" WiFi signal is connected, mobile video can be pushed to the TV for viewing.
Furthermore, "Advantage" will offer a richer cinematic experience: over 140 live channels; areas for Tianhua, Huadian, Europe and the US, Wenguang, Mango, and CCTV Six major TV zones; regions for Iqiyi, Galaxy, Kiwi, Tencent Video, and Cloud Audio and Video’s four major internet video zones; even time-shift functionality for catching up on shows like using a computer; and the ability to purchase lottery tickets, play games—all offering conveniences previously unimaginable.
At present, for the construction of 4K TV application demonstration areas in Guangzhou and Huizhou, Guangdong Radio and Television Network has implemented supportive measures. Network transformation in the demonstration areas and preferential policies for 4K packages have been completed. In the future, Zhongshan and Shantou will also become pilot cities and gradually cover the Pearl River Delta region. Notably, for the best 4K experience, residents need to upgrade their home TVs to 4K models.
**Smarter:** The New Digital Home Action is About to Begin
Reports suggest that not only 4K TV, but the "Advantage" will become a super service platform, supporting a full range of smart homes, smart communities, and smart cities. Besides carrying existing TV live broadcasts, video-on-demand, and broadband communications, the future may also include remote security, distance education, telemedicine, video calls, home appliance control, and smart home services.
For instance, building an electronic fence to meet public security informatization construction needs; creating solar kitchens to monitor food production processes comprehensively; and realizing remote live broadcasts of classroom teachings for resource sharing are just some examples. "Advantage" can also create a private cloud in the home, preserving digital home assets like photos, videos, music, games, and important documents.
At the launch ceremony, Guangdong Broadcasting Network released the U.API, a family of smart gateway service plug-in open development interfaces, and jointly deepened cooperation with network operators, industrial operators, content manufacturers, chip manufacturers, integrated manufacturers, and terminal manufacturers. This comprehensive effort aims to promote new digital home operations.
