Two new Philips MediaSuite are set to deliver personalised in-room entertainment and immersive visual experiences to guestrooms: the new 6000 Series with Ambilight and 7000 Series UltraSlim style, becoming the first hotel TV of its kind to achieve the European Energy Label E rating.
Synonymous with many leading hotels, including Accor, IHG, Marriott and Radisson, plus leading cruise lines – Philips MediaSuite continues to focus on bringing seamless home-from-home experiences to guestrooms, supporting and catering to all visual entertainment needs for guests, young and old.
As with existing Philips MediaSuite models, the new 6000 and 7000 Series will ship Netflix ready and, continuing as a complete Google certified TV, bringing the complete Google Mobile Services package, including Google Cast™ integrated technology as standard. Guests can access thousands of popular apps on the Google Play store, creating even more entertainment options, including news, sport, games, YouTube, and many more. Built into the TVs, guests have the freedom to take control of their viewing experiences by casting their preferred streaming accounts securely on the big screen.
Adding even greater choice and familiarity for users, Philips MediaSuite TVs are now also compatible with Apple AirPlay, however a system integration partner will need to install and manage the Gateway and associated network services to make Airplay available.
With over 2.25 billon active Apple devices worldwide – including iPhones and iPads – Apple’s proprietary wireless streaming technology allows users to stream their audio, video, and photos directly to, and through, their Philips MediaSuite TV.
The new MediaSuite TVs come cloud gaming ready, offering hoteliers the option to offer guests easy access to their favourite games via their personal subscriptions, directly accessed on the big screen via the Cloud, with no need for a console. Guests can either bring their own controller to use, or the hotel may choose to have controllers available to lend or rent, keeping them in the game, even when they are away.
All personal information is immediately deleted upon checkout, including any login information, for full peace of mind and data security.
Speaking of the launch, Jeroen Verhaeghe, Global Director Product Strategy and Partnerships for Professional TV at PPDS, commented:
“In 2019, we launched the very first Philips MediaSuite, transforming the perception of traditional hotel TVs forever. For too long, hotel TVs had failed to keep pace with how guests want to consume and access their preferred content — whether linear, streaming, casting, or other online applications – and we changed that almost instantaneously. Now, we are changing it up again, going above and beyond to bring guests’ experiences up to date – not just matching their expectations, but surpassing them.”
Audio
The Philips MediaSuite TVs include a custom engineered speaker for unrivalled audio performance.
Bluetooth® headphone functionality enables guests to connect their own wireless headphones, ideal for families, late night watchers, gamers, or those simply seeking total immersion. The Bluetooth connection is automatically severed at checkout.
Philips MediaSuite 6000 Series with Ambilight
Streaming further ahead of the competition, and taking guest room experiences far beyond the screen, the Philips MediaSuite 6000 Series – 43”, 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”, and 85” – uniquely features Ambilight technology, creating stunning illuminated and immersive experiences in the hotel room.
The integrated Ambilight technology works by projecting lights from the LEDs at the back of the TV onto the wall behind. The dynamic lights change colour and intensity to match what is happening on the screen in real time, creating an immersive ambient lighting effect that makes the screen seem bigger and the visuals more engaging. Moreover, the benefits of Ambilight span far beyond the experience itself, helping to reduce eye strain for better wellbeing.
Hoteliers can customise the lighting to suit their branding, together with the style or decor of each room to create a unique atmosphere from the second guests open the door.
Jan Van Hecke, Global Product Manager for Professional TV at PPDS, stated:
“Philips MediaSuite with Ambilight transforms the viewing experience in a way no others can. It’s something that must be experienced to be believed. Figures show that over 80 per cent of consumers who own a Philips Ambilight TV would purchase one again when it’s time to upgrade. With this new Series, hotel guests can experience the same benefits – and for those who don’t already have an Ambilight TV, it will open a new experience and bring excellent returns.”
Philips MediaSuite 7000 Series UltraSlim
Sleek, stylish, and designed for smaller boutique hotel rooms and in cruise ship cabins, the Philips MediaSuite 7000 Series UltraSlim brings all the features synonymous with the range. Measuring in to stand less than 3cm proud of the wall, the TV will be available in an array of sizes, including 24”, 32”, 43”, 50”, 55” and 65” (4K).
The 7000 Series is protected against the harmful effects of sea air, whether at beachside resorts or on cruise ships, via an additional layer of conformal coating on the circuitry, helping to defend against the ingress of salt, dust and humidity.
Integration and Bandwith Guard
Philips MediaSuite TVs are designed to be easily integrated into the hotel’s IPTV setup, by giving guests intuitive channel control, while also offering operators the flexibility to manage services from a central location.
The triple tuner within the TV also allows hotels to offer cable, satellite, and terrestrial services in one channel list.
Helping to control the amount of data used in any given guest room, the unique Bandwidth Guard on Philips MediaSuite TVs can be activated to limit demand on the network infrastructure, reducing data and optimising the performance of every in-room TV.
Jeroen Verhaeghe, Global Director Product Strategy and Partnerships for Professional TV at PPDS, commented:
“Our new Bandwidth Guard has already been welcomed with enthusiasm by hotel groups and independents alike. This unique new feature will allow hotels – some of whom have not been able to invest in 4K models until now – to offer their guests 4K content without the requirement for a transition to fibre. It really does change the picture.”
Energy efficiency
Aligned with PPDS’ proud history of developing and delivering better return on investment, both new Series of the next generation Philips MediaSuite TVs have enhanced performance while reducing energy consumption. The first hotel TVs of their kind to achieve the new European Energy Label E rating on the 24”, 32”, 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”, and 85” models, with an F rating for the 43” models, Philips MediaSuite TVs also bring a range of further sustainability benefits and cost savings to hoteliers.
The Ambilight LEDs on the Philips MediaSuite 6000 Series have been designed to consume very little power, while often reducing the need for switching on other lights in the room, and reducing eye strain.
Mirroring all current lines, the latest MediaSuite TVs can be managed remotely using PPDS’ exclusive CMND platform or via a Hotel PMS, helping to reduce site visits while enhancing staff efficiencies and reducing interruptions to guests.
Designed on an Android OS, firmware can be regularly updated with the latest features and functionality, allowing the TVs to perform like new in every room, extending product lifetime and reducing the need for unnecessary hardware upgrades and associated electronic waste.
Jeroen Verhaeghe concluded:
“The new Philips MediaSuite 6000 and 7000 Series indisputably make this our – and the industry’s – most advanced and diverse range of dedicated hotel TVs yet. Our ambition is always to lead, never to follow. We’ve taken our time, taken feedback from partners and customers, and used our expertise in the hospitality industry to take this already market leading range of TVs to even greater levels, bringing greater value to hotels around the world.”
