White Paper Z600

Although MMS is a direct descendant of SMS, the difference in content is dramatic. The size of an average SMS message is about 140 bytes, while the maximum size of an MMS message is limited only by the memory. That is why the key word to describe Picture Message content is rich. Com- plete with words, sounds and images, MMS con- tent is endowed with the user’s ideas, feelings and personality. An MMS message can contain one or more of the following:

Mobile picture transmission also offers inestimable utility in business applications, from sending on- site pictures of a construction project to capturing and storing an interesting design concept for later review. Editing a picture by adding text allows users to create their own electronic postcards, an application that is expected to substantially cut into the traditional postcard-sending market.

Themes (downloaded or pre-defined) can be exchanged via MMS.

Text

As with SMS and EMS, an MMS message can con- sist of normal text. The text can consist of up to 1000 characters. The main difference between an EMS and MMS message is that in an MMS mes- sage, text can be accompanied not only by simple pixel images or melodies but by photographic images, graphics, audio clips and in the future, video sequences.

Templates

The Z600 comes with a number of MMS pre- defined templates, for example templates for birth- day cards, meeting requests etc.

Audio

MMS provides the ability to send and receive full sound (iMelody and AMR) messages. Not only can users share a favourite song or ring signal with a friend, they can also use the mobile phone to record sound and send it along with a message. Because sound includes speech as well as music, this extra dimension of an MMS message makes for enhanced immediacy of expression and com- munication. Rather than sending a downloaded birthday jingle in EMS, for example, a user can send a clip of his or her own personal rendition of “Happy Birthday”.

SMIL presentations

SMIL stands for Synchronized Multimedia Integra- tion Language and is pronounced “smile”. SMIL in the Z600 allows the user to the create and transmit PowerPoint-style presentations on the mobile device. SMIL is an advanced XML-based protocol, and Sony Ericsson MMS supports a subset of this protocol. Using a simple media editor, users can incorporate audio and animated GIFs along with still images, animations and text to assemble full multimedia presentations.

The idea of SMIL is to allow the user to customize the page timing in PowerPoint-style presentations. The user can decide in which order the image and text will be displayed, as well as for how long the images and text lines are to be shown in the dis- play

PIM communication with MMS

With MMS in the Z600, it is easy to send and receive business cards, calendar entries and notes.

Business card (vCard)

With MMS in the Z600, the user can send a busi- ness card.

Pictures and themes

By using the built-in digital camera in the Z600 users can take a snapshot and immediately send it to a recipient. The ability to send pictures is one of the most exciting attributes of MMS, as it allows users to share meaningful moments with friends, family and colleagues.

Calendar entry (vCal)

With the vCal function the user can enclose a vCal entry when sending a meeting request via MMS.

Notes

The Z600 supports vNote. Notes can be sent via MMS.

Designed for both professional and home listening environments, the Z600 serves as an exemplary model in Tannoy’s extensive range of audio solutions.

Installation options are versatile, featuring bi-wiring capabilities that enhance the speaker's performance. This feature allows for separate connections to the bass and treble drivers, optimizing audio quality and enabling advanced customization based on user preference.

Another notable characteristic of the Tannoy Z600 is its wide dispersion pattern. This attribute ensures that sound remains consistent and clear even when listening from different positions in the room. This makes the Z600 an excellent choice for both casual listening and critical monitoring in professional setups.

With its combination of innovative technologies, premium materials, and expert craftsmanship, the Tannoy Z600 stands out as a top-tier choice for audio enthusiasts.
