- Amazon’s flagship, Omni with Mini-Led, gets two new features
- Interactive art adds some movement activated by movement to its environmental screen
- Dual-Audio arrives and lets television send audio to a hearing aid and its speakers simultaneously
Amazon only entered the Mini TV market with its own OMNI Fire TV brand last year, however, its first entry into a market full of people proved not only the best in its alignment, but a convincing budget option.
Now Amazon is launching two updates to your best TV, and you will not need to pay anything additional to use any of them. As we have seen from Roku to Amazon in the past, this is a free update for the platform that drives television.
Until now, it has been able to establish a static scene for the Fire TV OMNI LED to show when it is not in active use. These came in the form of works of art, photographs, similar to Samsung’s TV Frame or the art TV of Hisense, or even battery widgets to turn television into a giant intelligent exhibition. But with the new update, Amazon is injecting some movement into the work of art.
Now there are 12 pieces of ‘interactive art’ that Amazon promises will turn the Fire TV into a “dynamic work of art.” These will interact with the movement in the space where the TV is, since it tracks the movement using a high loyalty radar sensor integrated into the unit. Which means that if you select a Koi fish scene, these creatures can swim through the screen, or a butterfly could flutter through another option.
It seems quite tidy and lives within the environmental experience of the Fire TV, and as with anything on Fire TV, you can ask Alexa to open him and then select an interactive art option. You can also use remote control and, through ‘Fast configuration’, suggest a new type of art to choose from one of the 12.
Interactive art is also not to replace pre -existing options: you can still choose between works of art and photographs, but you can also ask the TV to prepare a work of art through “art of AI.”
The second update is one that Amazon first announced in December 2024, and that is that the Fire TV Omni Mini-Led can send two sound transmissions.
A sound flow of the TV-incorporated speakers can be emitted, while another can be transmitted to the headphones through the ‘Dual-Audio’ function. This is a long -awaited addition and requested by the client to the set of accessibility functions of FIRE TV.
It is good to see Amazon now launching this to the Fire TV Omni Mini-Led, and will work with any compatible hearing aid.
First, it will connect the hearing aid to the TV, but to activate the double audio, you can do it in fast settings or in the main configuration panel in accessibility and select the function.
To find dual audio art or interactive art, make sure your Fire TV Omni Mini-Led is running the latest version of the operating system. Amazon has recently launched a software update, so verify it and activate an update if available. From there, you will find these two new features that make Amazon’s best television even better.
