Abstract:
In this technical review paper, the object of observation and testing is Android TV box. All tests will be carried out objectively and without our own point of views. From research and review we expect to expand our knowledge of the Android TV devices and try to develop the first Android TV application. We expect investigate the advantages and disadvantages of this device.
Introduction:
We live in the era of computers and information. Dependence on information forces us to have access, to only those, everywhere and at any given time.
With the revolution of smart phones, the area of telecomunications changed forever. Currently, the most widespreaded and popular Android mobile platform allows us practically everything we need to get our daily "dose" of information. Allows you to dial, send sms, web browsing, GPS, email, photo capture, video capture, music player, USB mass stroage, document editing, and much more.
Android operating system can be installed on all devices that have ARM processor structure and contain the Linux Kernel. Android TV Box („ATB“) is an unusual "Android" device. It can be connected to a TV set that supports the HDMI or AV connector and protocol. ATB supports all the Android features mentioned above.
Review
Installation of ATB to a TV set:
ATB must be connected to the electrical power source, then we must select the appropriate connection port/cable for the transmission of visual and audio media. Here we have to options, one is AV and the other is HDMI. If we select HDMI, then we must connect the appropriate cable to a TV and ATB. The same applies for AV. Android supports internet connection through wifi or ethernet. ATB allows both of it. This leaves us only to turn on the ATB.
