Ability to Manage Content from One Central Location Commercial TVs are compatible with technology solutions that allow content across hundreds of in-room displays to be managed from one central location. This allows for much more efficient operations of your hotel. Embedded Digital Rights Management (DRM) including Pro:Idiom™ Technology DRM makes it easier to delivery in-room entertainment to your guests. Pro:Idiom™ is a hardware-based highly secure technology platform that provides rapid broad deployment of HD digital content Embedded MPEG Technology to Minimize Cost Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) is a compression format that allows digital information to take up less space on a device or during transmission. This format compresses digital video and is commonly used to compress HD signals for satellite and hotel systems. Pre-set Hospitality Settings Make for Simple & Easy Installation Through advanced plug-and-play settings, hotel staff can activate hundreds of in-room displays with minimal effort. Operations teams simply have to navigate three basic launch settings to synchronize multiple displays while also defining connectivity and language needs. More importantly, commercial TVs offer lockable features to prevent guests from tampering with the settings. Limited or No Coverage Consumer TVs have limited warranties (i.e. 90 days) that can be voided when a TV is used in a commercial setting. Owner would have to incur full cost of service, negating any savings generated upfront. Potential for Higher Set-Up Cost with Individual Commercial content management solutions cannot be operated with consumer TVs which requires more manual labor and costs to setup each in-room display individually. No built-in encryption means higher costs on external hardware Consumer TVs do not come equipped with encryption technology to protect HD programming. A set-top box would be required with each television which would significantly increase ownership costs. No MPEG-4 Built-In Could Mean Requiring More Hardware Consumer TVs do not come with MPEG-4 built-in which means receiving HD signals could be costly as satellite providers require more hardware in each guestroom and/or at hotel’s head-end. Lack of security and control over the in-room TV Consumer TVs lack the ability to lock-out guests from altering the TV settings. All Samsung commercial TVs come with lockout controls and volume limiters to prevent guests from causing any disruptions to your day-to-day business.
