Kylo |
Kylo is a free Web browser for TV, Developed for the millions of households that connect their PCs or Macs to the TV, Kylo lets users visit sites across the Web with a browser that was specifically designed to be viewed from a distance in the family room, living room, or dorm room.
It includes a variety of new product features that enable users to launch Kylo from a plug-in created for Windows Media Center; hide Kylo's control bar and keyboard; configure Kylo's settings in order to access Web site pages designed for other hardware platforms; enjoy enhanced zooming; print from their TV; and more.
The Kylo browser is not meant to replace traditional browsers such as Internet Explorer, Safari , or Firefox for use with standard computer display screens, but instead is for use on a television connected to a computer. Unlike other applications or Web sites, Kylo is not a "walled garden" of aggregated video content, but rather a true Web browser that lets users go where they want across the Internet.
Kylo Features:
1. Windows Media Center launcher - A new Kylo plug-in is now available for Windows Media Center. This feature enables people who use Windows Media Center on their computer connected to their HDTV to launch Kylo and then easily return to other Windows Media Center applications after surfing the Web.
2. Auto-hide control bar - Users can now select an auto-hide feature for the Kylo control bar. For video sites that do not offer full screen mode, this gives users the maximum viewing space possible. The Kylo control bar handyly reappears when the cursor is
3. directed at the bottom of the screen with a mouse or Loop pointer.
4. Domain-specific user agent string setting - Advanced users can now change the user agent string used by Kylo using the application's new settings. This feature, used in other conventional browsers, can improve compatibility with some Web sites like Hulu, and can enable Kylo users to view sites that are designed for other platforms like the Apple iPad, Nintendo Wii or Sony PlayStation .
5. Better zoom indication - The new Kylo makes it easier to discover and use Kylo's zoom abilities for reading Web pages at a distance across the living room.
6. Default zoom level setting - This new setting allows the user to set a minimum zoom setting for all Web pages, which is particularly useful for Kylo users with 1080 HD resolution settings.
7. Enable/disable auto keyboard - In its default setting, Kylo automatically presents its onscreen keyboard to enter text on Web sites as appropriate. With the new version of Kylo, users who typically have a keyboard convenient can select this setting to keep the on-screen keyboard hidden.
8. Multiscreen support on Mac - Mac users can now target their secondary screen as the main browser screen for the Kylo browser. This ability previously existed for PC users only.
9. Printing - With many home computers now linked via WiFi or Ethernet to a networked printer, Kylo users can handyly print from their TV browser.
10. Updated directory of links - The Kylo directory, which serves as a fast index to top sites, has been updated with a variety of new and increasingly popular sites, like RadioTime and several photo sites, to further expand the experience of Web surfing in the living room. The directory contains links to dozens of sites across a range of topics including: TV, movies, music, sports, games, and more. Users can also continue to use Kylo's bookmark feature to set up their own personal, visual directory of their favorite sites.
Trying Kylo is easier than most applications. You download one file for Mac or Windows, click through the standard (and quick) installers, and then launch Kylo. You are now browsing the web with no additional steps. Kylo will not ask you annoying questions, it will not ask to be your default browser, it will not ask for personal information, and it will not ask you to make obscure configuration choices. Kylo also does not make any changes to your computer's settings, Internet setup or other applications.
