hey guys I see on average I'm here with a new video P series which is the company's latest Smart TV it's actually kind of a radical different idea for Smart TVs if you look at it you might notice it looks exactly like what a chromecast looks like when it's plugged into your TV that's because videos pulled out all of the software all of the UI all of the apps on TV itself all of that is now happening on this which is the Vizio Smart Remote it's a six inch Android tablet that's running a new app called Smart cast it's interesting about this is if you really think about it it's just a little Android tablet you don't need to control the TV with it you can walk away and just watch stuff on it all by yourself it's totally self-contained but then when you're in your house control all your TVs with cast it's got a little light sensor there there's no cameras or anything it's a remote but it looks really nice as an eight-course Qualcomm processor inside mini USB charging obviously sleep/wake button headphone jack so a cool thing is it's wireless charging and when you stick it back on the wireless charger with a smart cast app open it will automatically pull up the main control app so you can just grab it and you're good to go what Vizio hasn't done however which is really interesting is they haven't like super themed Android or super skin to Android so this is basically stock Android L Vizio says marshmallows come in this thing soon and they've actually been so polite to Android that it doesn't do the control thing when you set up a wireless charger but without the app of it so you can see all the basics are here you can see I'm controlling the volume on the TV just using the cast app here and then I can do Google cast stuff so and go out and close this app entirely there's so many familiar Android apps here I can just open one like YouTube I've got this Jimmy Fallon video going hit play here it's going to play on the device but really I want to watch them TV so I just hit the cast button this is really familiar and now it's going to start playing directly on the television here and then the volume buttons on the tablet actually mapped directly to TV so I can just turn the volume up and down using the hardware I'm out here Vizio is also bundling in a box an actual physical note that's very familiar it's super cut down sleek beautiful volume buttons wheres over IR what's interesting is Ashley's channel buttons which they're going to map to other apps support channel switching so there's no tutor in the TV you can't like get linear TV on it these channel buttons are here for apps and then it's fascinating hit play pause actually will control the chromecast stream and hit pause right here but the big trick inside of the Smart cast app vizio is showing you all of the stuff that you might otherwise see in a Smart TV so all of the UI that you normally see in this one city is now in your hand it's going to show you all the content that's available on your services make it easier to discover and find share your suggestions so we can just hit movies here it knows a like Mad Max you hit this you hit watch now you'll show you the services you can get it from we can just hit play in Mad Max and show playing on TV over Vudu so this is kind of the most integrated implementation we've ever seen of cast discovery and hardware this remote in TV all the stuff goes on sale March 27
