What is Smart TV?
Smart TV is an experience, it's what entertainment lovers have always wanted but never had before:
- It’s integrated, so everything important to the consumer is connected and searchable on a single screen, from billions of hours of video to personal content
- It’s interactive, complementing broadcast programming with the ability to instantly find and watch television shows and movies, download Internet applications, and easily surf between channels and Web sites for a completely new way of using television, instead of just watching it
The smart TV experience will let people:
- Search online and personal content as well as broadcast programming all from the same TV interface
- Access downloadable applications
- Connect to social networks while watching favorite programs or movies
- Control TV with a unique new remote control or voice commands
- Access an infinite amount of entertainment possibilities

Smart TV enabled devices require more processing power to support these new capabilities. The Intel® Atom™ processor CE4100, Intel’s “system-on-a-chip,” is at the heart of these devices. The Intel® Atom™ processor brings intelligence and performance to deliver the processing power, world-class HD video and audio, and advanced graphics required for new smart TV enabled devices like companion boxes, Blu-ray* players, set-top boxes and digital TVs.
The innovators at Intel collaborated with industry leaders Google, Sony, and Logitech to bring smart TV experience to life. Until now, Internet-connected TV devices typically offered single-function features, such as streaming movies from favorite providers. New smart TV capable devices deliver a completely different TV viewing experience, enabling consumers to interact with their TV like never before, seamlessly integrating a broad array of Internet content, broadcast programming, personal content, and virtually unlimited applications—all viewable on one TV screen.
