Abstract
In this paper, is carried out systematic information and communication analysis of role of implementing hybrid television technologies in the process of e-education technology, which is possible because of technological future of new TV generation. The authors suggest that the development of new television technologies is in constant communication progress and it is correlated with technological changes (transition from black and white to color, the introduction of stereo / surround sound, and the possibility of new high-resolution image technology which is offered by new generation television receivers and video on demand) that in the technological and communicational terms have not yet been completed. At the present stage of technological and media development of the global world, more than 400 million citizens have direct access to the Internet with a broadband Internet connection (10 Mbps to 100 Mbps), which allows to citizens delivering of media content in high-tech resolution (720p or 1080p). For these reasons, traditional television "providers" respond to the challenges of hybrid television technology with new development and investment deals. Today the media "providers" in education are developing new customer services and media services for the provision and delivery of the new educational video content via Internet Protocol (IP technology) as well as other videos ("tablet") which are mounted on mobile devices of the citizens. Providers of educational media ("high-definition educational contents") are in the front of new communicational, educational and technological challenges. The authors, based on the set of theoretical assumptions and empirical research about the place and role of hybrid technology in a new generation of TV in E-education, give a scientific formulation of implementing new features and models of education that are provided by a new hybrid television technology through a new generation of television receivers. In conclusion, on the basis of the genetic-structural and functional analysis of the convergence of media, the authors explicate the historical value of television technology and propose new educational opportunities (video on demand) which provide a hybrid television technology with unlimited social, hardware and software and technological values and communication capabilities of the new generation TV in the future of E-education.
