Mad Martyn Williams of our sister group, IDG News Service, is in Las Vegas shooting video in every nook and cranny of CES 2007.
He caught up Nick Colsey, director of product planning, as Colsey explained the Sony system that will allow viewers of the company's Bravia flat-panel TV sets to access broadband video content--some of it in high-definition (HD)--without using a PC to access the Internet.
Here's how it works:
The Bravia Internet Video Link system will be offered on most new models of Bravia TVs and can be accessed at the push of a few buttons on the remote control.
The service is populated with a number of programmed broadband video content channels and initial partners include AOL, Yahoo and Sony-group companies Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sony BMG Music and online video site Grouper.
