The 'nth screen' has been lingering around the tech world for several years, but is expected to hit the big time in 2014. It basically means devices that are able to connect and share content between multiple displays. Sharing is caring, apparently¹, and companies will let you connect their devices together for a greater user experience. There is, however, a catch, as many companies will create connecting devices that can only connect to devices of the same brand. So your Samsung device may not connect with your Apple device. This is due to the company's need to keep consumers dedicated² to their brand.

 

Nth screen在科技界游走已经好几年了，不过有望在2014年大放异彩。Nth screen指可以通过多个显示器连接并共享内容的设备，我们称之为“多屏幕分享”。分享就是关心，很显然，科技公司会让你把他们所有的设备都连接起来以获得更好的用户体验。不过，这里面还存在一个隐患，很多公司开发的连接设备只允许连接相同品牌的设备。所以，你的三星设备无法与苹果设备连接。这主要是因为公司需要保证消费者对其品牌的忠诚度。

 

For example:

 

MultiMedia³ Intelligence specializes on the markets and technologies for delivering IP-based video to the 'nth' screen.

多媒体智能专事于将IP为基础的视频传送至多屏幕的市场和技术。
