Move over tablets, Motorola's live streaming Televation is here

Technology is developing by leaps and bounds today. However, newer and newer advancements in communications and computing have failed to take away the sheen from the age-old television. It’s very much still there just that the field of television is having a revolution of its own within itself as well and one of the latest developments is the dawn of Televation, courtesy Motorola. Based on a broadband internet connection, this mind-boggling device helps watch television from anywhere within the house where it is usually stationed. Using a Wi-Fi router, it beams signals into the area where you wish to view the output, be it in the comforts of your garden or even your kitchen as you prepare lunch or dinner.

Designed by Motorola in close collaboration with Comcast Innovation Labs, the Televation is a monstrous device with a 1 GHz tuner as well as a CableCard that can virtually provide access to any channel the user might want to view. Not just the variety of the channels available, availability of a transcoder in Televation also helps vary the bit rate as well as picture quality as per the end-user needs in addition to providing real time MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 conversion. Additionally, an Ethernet jack aids in a direct wi-fi routing thereby providing uninterrupted television viewing directly from the internet. No doubt, having an internet connection comes with an additional headache of hacking. Well, Motorola has cleverly taken care of this as well by using the SecureMedia IPRM-HN technology that’s well known for providing internet security and which has the approval of DTLA (Digital Transmission Licensing Administrator) and CableLabs – leaders in their own right!

Motorola’s Televation is no doubt therefore the latest in entertainment experience considering that an average American watches television about 21 hours a week. And when it has the ability to connect directly to any client application it discovers and provide wholesome viewing as and when decided on the go, there’s nothing more that you could possibly want today. Also, not just is it revolutionary from the tech-viewpoint but it is something that also syncs closely with the mentality of today’s generation! Way to go!
