Q7. What are the major advantages of having a smartphone as the next generation remote control?
The major advantages of having smartphone as the next generation remote control include ubiquitous, connected and always on, flexible, personal, and the integrated display.
Q8. What is the process of periodic state updates from STB?
For subtitles in NSMobile (Figure 4), the process of periodic state updates from STB is used to maintain correct timing (e.g., for automatic re-synchronisation after seeking).
Q9. What is the main advantage of NSMobile?
Multiple NSMobile clients can control and stay synchronized to a single STB, and it is easy for a user to move between STBs, transferring their current viewing context with them.
Q10. What is the process of logging the answer on the second screen?
A viewer can then select an answer on the second screen, which is logged by the engine, and then the playback on the primary screen is resumed.
