Watford, UK | TeleAdapt is proud to announce that it has worked with Samsung Electronics to ensure compatibility between its sleekly designed, optional connectivity panel - the MediaHub™ - and Samsung’s hospitality televisions.

The MediaHub™ gives hotel guests the ability to experience their music, photos, videos and other multi-media content from their own personal portable electronics device on a hotel room’s flat screen HDTV. The MediaHub comes in two versions: an Active unit that automatically senses the guest plugging in a device such as an MP3 player, and changes the TV to that input, and a Passive unit which relocates the TV’s auxiliary ports and allows guests to select the inputs by tuning to the designated TV channel.

Samsung worked with TeleAdapt to test both the Passive and the Active MediaHub™, to ensure compatibility with its hospitality televisions. This tested and proven compatibility alleviates installation and usability concerns for hotel operators. Easy to install, the Mediahub helps eliminate damage done by guests tampering with existing TV connections. Both the Passive and Active models are available in a variety of trims as either a desktop or wall-mounted version.

The latest worldwide trend in electronics are devices that enable people to take media content such as music, videos and photos, anywhere they go. Today’s hottest devices range from MP3 to DVD players, smart phones to digital cameras - most of which are multimedia enabled. Now, thanks to the TeleAdapt MediaHub™, more hotel guests can enjoy their personal audio and video. Guests can simply plug and play to experience their music, photos, movies, games, or computer documents on a state-of-the-art Samsung LCD. Providing their guests with this amenity, allows hoteliers to set their customer experience apart from their competition.

“Samsung TV’s are among the world leaders of flat panel design and technology, taking the No. 1 position in TV sales during 2007 in the global TV market,” said Pammi Mudhar, B2B Sales & Marketing Director, Samsung Electronics Europe. “We offer a range of high-definition professional-grade televisions designed for use in the hospitality market, and the relationship with TeleAdapt will help enhance our offerings to hospitality customers.”

“We are delighted to be working with Samsung. This relationship and the compatibility of our products provides even more choice for hotels and helps create the ultimate in-room entertainment experience for guests,” said Gordon Brown, CEO TeleAdapt.
