Finally we are moving out of stone ages and not needing to put IR emitters in front of TVs to control them. Instead we can talk to them over the network as it should have been years ago. At least in the case of Samsung 4K TVs: http://www.cepro.com/article/samsun...tm_campaign=content&eid=344670505&bid=1858143
And auto-programming of calibration parameters for video using Calman. Panasonic has offered this for a long time but of course they are not in TV business anymore so good to see Samsung supporting it:
This makes calibration super fast and with no labor involved.
Really good moves on behalf of Samsung, even though it is long overdue.
“The IP-command support is comprehensive and includes discrete commands for launching the leading streaming-content services [without any lag time], plus complete Smart Hub control,” a spokesman said.
"With IP control and drivers that support auto-discovery and [Control4] SDDP, configuration time is dramatically reduced,” he continued. “This is really helpful when the installer has to set up hundreds of devices on a network. “ Much less cabling is also involved because command signals and A/V are able to pass over IP, he adds.

With its 2017 QLED 4K TVs, Samsung speeds up installers’ work flow in another way: by automating 4K HDR calibration and reducing it to 1/5th the time of manual calibration, the spokesman said. “CalMAN with AutoCal communicates directly with the TV with little human intervention,” he continues.
"Calibration still requires a connection to a PC running CalMAN software, but now it bypasses the TV’s OSD steps and directly adjusts color, white balance and other picture quality parameters automatically,” the spokesman continued. “You do need a colorimeter that connects to the PC to make the measurements needed to make the adjustments, but it’s a significantly faster operation.”
