Do we need to redefine 'TV'?
Written by Kelsey Brookes Friday, 06 March 2009 08:06
Since its inception, the word 'television' has been synonymous with the device itself. TV is the box. It's also the word we use to describe a type of content, the production values behind it and the business model used to sustain it.
Yet the traditional broadcast model is changing. How we watch TV, more importantly how we want to watch TV, is changing. While the birth of the VCR prompted a quiet revolution in our viewing habits, the end-game of that revolution is yet to be played out - and already it's a lot noisier than expected.

Roku's digital video player can now access the more than 40,000 titles on offer via Amazon's Video On Demand service.
Roku rose to prominence as the hardware behind Netflix' on-demand video streaming service. Previously only available directly via a computer, the Roku player allows users to connect their TV to Netflix' vast online library of titles. The addition of Amazon's video on demand service should provide a welcome boost of titles.
Of course, Roku faces major competition in the form of AppleTV. The combination of iTunes massive library of both TV and film titles, in addition to the sexier looks and permanent access to purchased titles seems like a more attractive proposition.

While digital still cameras have been capable of shooting video for some time, it's rare that you'd want to do so for anything other than personal reasons. Similarly, the announcement of the Red One modular system came as a surprise, approaching the issue from the other end of the spectrum; packing digital still capabilities into a video platform.
Panasonic are also getting into the game now with the update to their Micro Four Thrids format camera, the GH1. While not exactly game changing according to Gizmodo, it still allows for seamless recording at 720p and acceptable quality at 1080p; provided you don't shoot high-motion video.
