Interactive television (iTV)

Interactive television (iTV) is the integration of traditional television technology
and data services. It is a two-way cable system that allows users to interact with it
via commands and feedback information. A set-top box is an integral part of an
interactive television system. It can be used by the viewer to select the shows that
they want to watch, view show schedules and give advanced options like ordering
products shown in ads, as well as accessing email and Internet.

Components of interactive tv
 HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the current go-to for connecting TVs to
devices like PVRs, Apple TVs and DVD/Blu-ray players. It’s a convenient all-in-one connection
for high quality audio and video that should be your first choice for connecting your gear. Make

sure that you have plenty of HDMI inputs for the devices  that
you want to use. Most TVs have 3 to 4 HDMI inputs – usually on the back. If you plan to connect
your devices through an AV receiver, then any more that one may be redundant. That said, if you
have something like a camcorder that you only connect occasionally, a HDMI input on the side of
the TV may be useful.

 Component Video is the previous generation connection for high performance video. It is only

for video though, and it uses three separate RCA connectors. 

Where previously TVs had multiple component video inputs, you may now only find one or
none. If something like your cherished DVD player uses component cables, make sure your
future TV has this input or plan to use an AV receiver that can convert to HDMI. Audio needs to
be fed to the TV via left & right RCA connectors or through your AV receiver.
  Composite is really old now – VCRs had this connection! (For those who don’t remember VCRs

) It is also a video only input (so you’ll have to get audio through other
connections). Composite video uses one RCA connector and the quality is quite poor, but its
useful if you have something that requires it like a Wii or other legacy gear (e.g. a VCR to play
your 80s video tape collection).

 An Ethernet connector can be used if you’re planning to  use a TV’s built in

smart features. Although most of these TVs have built in Wi-Fi, you’ll usually be better served
using a hard-wired Ethernet connection.

There aren’t as many output connections on a TV, but here is a summary of the common useful ones:

 TOSLINK/Digital Audio Out can be used to   connect to a sound

bar or AV receiver. TOSLINK uses a special fibre optic cable for stereo or multichannel (e.g. 5.1
surround sound) high quality audio.

 HDMI with CEC : Usually HDMI connectors on a TV are thought as only an input, but it can be
a two way street. Some TVs allow return information. CEC (Consumer Electronics Control)
allows your TV remote to operate other equipment like your Blu-ray player through the HDMI
cables. Different manufactures call it different names, for example Sharp calls it “Aquos Link”

and Panasonic uses “VIERA Link”.  Different manufacturers gear

doesn’t always play well together, but if you have equipment from the same manufacture, this
may simplify your remote collection. A remote like the Logitech Harmony Ultimate may serve
you better though if you have different manufacturer equipment and the budget.
