These new media devices have just recently been released to the public in the last 6 to 8 months. 3-D has in the past only been reserved for movies theaters or large planetariums like IMAX theaters or amusement parks never has it been in the home on a regular TV before. This goes along with Numerical Representation as it can take an analog signal and convert it to digital, as well as taking a digital and providing an extra layer make it into 3-D, which normal high definition TV don’t do. (Manovich 28). It uses Automation (Manovich 32) as an automated process was used to make the device but uses digital technology as well for the processing of the signal to High Definition or to 3-D. It uses Variability (Manovich 37) as there are different settings for viewing options and for hooking other devices say like a surround sound system to boost the volume and home theater experience for a home user. It uses Transcoding (Manovich 36) as the TV can take in either an analog or digital signal then converts to binary and then converts it again for the pixels on the screen for different color and intensity to show a complete picture that is ever changing. This 3-D television is as considered a medium (slide 26) as it is being massed produced for people to have in their houses for everyday use. This new media that was once reserved for private or public screening at a cost is now being produced for the average person to use for a more reasonable cost.
