Just like we give mobile phones more detailed functional tendencies such as music, photography, and games, to achieve a higher pursuit of certain functions. As one of the essential electronic devices for the family, television has brought its own "family" attribute since its birth, but this attribute is rarely valued in the category of television.
According to the "China Family Development Report" released by the National Health and Family Planning Commission in 2019, Chinese families are developing towards the trend of "small family model", that is, 2-person and 3-person families have become the main body of family types. Different from the traditional "four generations in the same house" large family model, young families now often live separately from their parents and elders. As the C player in the home appliances, tv is also the most familiar appliance for the elderly, and it seems that it should assume the responsibility of the younger generation to remotely guard the elders.
I didn't expect such a natural direction of TV development, but for a long time no product can fill this gap well, until Skyworth launched the guardian category.
A zero-distance call with "home"
Guardian is a new generation of TV category independently developed by Skyworth. Protector Guardian, based on a full-featured AI chip, is equipped with the Cool Open AI system and is equipped with Skyworth's self-developed smart eye. The combination of the three is the complete form of the Guardian.
In the past, although we lived in our own homes, the only space we could grasp was the room we were in. Parents, babies or their pets who want to take care of other rooms often have more than enough and lack of strength, and can only repeatedly patrol to reassure themselves as much as possible, and even the final destination can only be close companionship.
But after the advent of the Guardian series, we can control our home space in all directions, and each room can be contacted from zero distance.
Cool Open Smart Eye supports 355 degrees of horizontal rotation and 90 degrees of vertical rotation, 2 million pixel sensor can output 1080P resolution picture, and built-in 6 infrared lights, night vision distance can reach 8 meters.
After connecting the Smart Eye with the Guardian Q41 Pro, you can enter the smart split-screen mode through the "AI Interaction" module in the TV or by calling out Xiaowei Xiaowei with voice.
After entering the split screen mode, you can see the screen displayed by each smart eye. The Guardian Q41 Pro transformed from a TV into a receiver of family information, and the four smart eyes are basically enough to cover most of the area of the family or areas that need to be focused.
When lying on the couch playing with your mobile phone, working with a laptop, or fighting Lego, reading a book, cleaning, just look up at the big screen, you can receive the information you want to know, and always guard the people or pets you care about.
You don't even have to worry about looking at the big screen all the time, and the smart eye supports AI anomalous detection and AI motion tracking. After detecting the abnormal sound or movement, a prompt message will pop up on the Guardian Q41 Pro and the mobile phone, which can be said to help us protect the whole family to the greatest extent.
The perfect balance of guardianship and entertainment
Although the Guardian Q41 Pro can be unique in terms of function and differentiation from other TVs, the TV part also needs to be good enough to gain the favor of consumers. The Guardian Q41 Pro features an integrated bent metal center frame with a slender brushed oxidizing process on the sides and a 1.5mm miter-cut diamond highlighter on the front. The decorative waistline adopts the diamond highlight cutting process, and the angle of the highlight edge is repeatedly verified and finally the 64° inclination angle is selected, so as to achieve the effect of both highlighting the quality and not being dazzling.
The use of twilight gray on the metal frame color will visually eliminate the sense of boundary, so that the screen and the environment can be more harmonious transition. The main color of the Guardian Q41 Pro is "Secret Purple", and the front panel decoration strip is a purple brushing process, which is quite textured under the light. According to reports, the design of the Guardian Q41 Pro is inspired by the purple of the auspicious atmosphere in Chinese paintings.
In terms of image quality performance, guardian Q41 Pro adopts a new generation of hummingbird AI picture quality chip and full-featured AI chip, which has super computing power and can optimize the image processing at the same time, and on the basis of identifying and processing different objects of the picture color, contrast and clarity, the new intelligent recognition screen scene, multi-frame fusion to improve the resolution, greatly improving the picture perception. It can automatically identify five common objects such as faces, grass, blue skies, buildings, and food, and optimize the processing of different objects in terms of clarity, noise reduction, skin color, color, and brightness. The AI super resolution can improve the resolution of the original image through SR multi-frame fusion technology for videos with 720P resolution and below.
As a product with "family" as the core, health is an important element in its products. The Guardian Q41 Pro uses a new generation of DC (Direct Current) dimming technology, which can effectively eliminate LCD TV strobes.
It's not a very unusual thing to have a front-facing lens on TV in 2021. However, the tv that designs the product around this lens in an all-round way is still relatively rare except for Skyworth's Guardian series TV. It even developed its own full-featured AI chip to meet the computing needs.
This liftable, high-speed smart AI camera supports 73 degrees vertical viewing angle and 152 degrees of horizontal viewing angle autofocus adjustment.
After turning on Smart Follow, it will recognize the humanoid silhouette movement in the screen through AI, and automatically lock and track the portrait shooting. When video chatting, you no longer need to be fixed in a point of view, you can move freely, and the characters will always be locked in the center of the picture.
At the same time, the Guardian Q41 Pro has also developed a lot of interesting features for this camera. For example, it can be used as a group photo at a party, or even a panoramic photo.
Or play some somatosensory games, such as cut fruit that was once on fire, you can use the somatosensory mode to relive the feeling of the first contact with the iPad.
In terms of audio, the Guardian Q41 Pro is equipped with a pyramid stereo. The LOGO of SOUND BY JBL in the lower right corner indicates that this is a skyworth & JBL joint tuning sound system. Relying on independent power amplifiers to promote the bass, 1.2L large cavity, high magnetic energy product permanent magnet, low frequency diving up to 50Hz, can support Dolby Atmos sound effect.
It can be seen that the guardian Q41 Pro is very solid this time, and when it was just delivered to the home, the master installed it quite laboriously. But through the design, it looks "ultra-thin" but the whole machine is not "thin" This visual and actual dislocation is also the success of the guardian Q41 Pro design.
The only regret is that as a mid-to-high-end model, there is no HDMI 2.1 interface. While HDMI 2.0 is enough for everyday household use, it's hard to experience the effects of 4K HDR if you have a PS5.
It can be said that as a TV, the Guardian Q41 Pro has been quite excellent, on this basis, with the random smart eye products and a series of supporting function optimization, for the TV category to add new value and significance. Just like some TV opportunities focus on the "game" function, this time the Guardian Q41 Pro can be said to open up a new TV direction, meeting the needs of this group of people who need to take care of family members. This demand has existed for a long time, and today it has finally been noticed and valued by Skyworth.
