Remote Controls

More Connectivity and More in Control - 2012-2017 Report


Dublin, Sept. 26, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5smprx/remote_controls) has announced the addition of the "Remote Controls - More Connectivity and More in Control" report to their offering.

Remote controls traditionally have been an afterthought in the minds of most consumers. However, that paradigm is quickly shifting as remote controls gain better wireless connectivity to the devices they control. The various applications enabled by using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and RF4CE are quickly changing the way consumers think about remote controls and how they interact with their entertainment devices.

Included in this report is an in-depth analysis of the various methods of control including voice, motion, touchpad, gesture, and touchscreen control. This report also looks at the increasing use of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and RF4CE in remote controls and how that will impact the total market. A five year forecast covering shipments of remote controls for the aftermarket & universal, audio & video equipment, Blu-ray player, digital television, DVD player, cable set-top box, IPTV set-top box, satellite set-top box, and streaming media player markets subdivided by connectivity standard from 2012 to 2017 is provided.

The deliverable is comprised of a PDF and accompanying Excel data sheet.
