What's New in Remote Test Lab


Recommended Posts

RTL_blog_pc_g.jpg

In the previous post, we introduced Remote Test Lab, a service that enables you to test your application on a real mobile phone or watch device by interacting with it over the Internet in real time. Since last year, we have added more features for you to expand your test coverage. In this article, we introduce two new features available on the Remote Test Lab service.

Many apps play a variety of common media types, such as audio, video, and images. Previously, Remote Test Lab showed the screens of real devices, but without any audio, which was inconvenient for testing audio features. We have now added an audio streaming feature that allows you to listen to the audio played through the test device in addition to seeing the device screens.

The other new feature is multi-touch gesture support. This allows multiple pointers (fingers) to touch the device screen at the same time, enabling you to test scrolling, zooming in and out, and rotation gestures, on apps such as in Google Maps.

Start audio streaming

The Remote Test Lab client supports the audio streaming feature on devices running Android 10 and newer. If you launch the Remote Test Lab client, you can see the contextual menu by clicking the right mouse button. To start streaming, click Experimental > Start audio stream in the contextual menu.

For security and privacy reasons, audio stream capture has some limitations. To be able to capture audio, the client brings up the prompt displayed by createScreenCaptureIntent(), and you must approve it. If you do approve, you can listen to the sound of the test device, with the exception of certain streams such as AudioManager#STREAM_RING, AudioManager#STREAM_ALARM, and AudioManager#STREAM_NOTIFICATION.

After audio streaming is started, the contextual menu item changes to Stop audio stream. To stop streaming, click the menu item.

Start audio stream Recording prompt Stop audio stream

For more information on media capture, see MediaProjectionManager in the Android API Reference.

Use multi-touch gestures

The Remote Test Lab client also supports multi-touch gestures. In smartphone apps, multi-touch gestures include scrolling, zooming in and out, and rotation. Although you cannot directly touch the screen on the Remote Test Lab device, you can use your keyboard and mouse to perform multi-touch gestures on it, such as while using Google Maps.

To use multi-touch gestures in Remote Test Lab:

  1. Press and hold the shift key on your keyboard.
  2. Click on the device screen.
  3. Without releasing the shift key, click and drag on the device screen to perform the gesture you want.
  4. To complete the multi-touch gesture, release the shift key.

The following video shows how Google Maps responds to multi-touch gestures:

      In an era where the art of cinema and professional equipment continue to evolve, Samsung Electronics is propelling this transformation through its contribution to establishing Culver Post. Nestled in the heart of Los Angeles, this state-of-the-art theatrical post-production studio is a recent addition to Amazon’s portfolio of production and entertainment businesses, further enhancing the area’s reputation as a hub for creativity and innovation.
       
      In partnership with industry pioneers 424 Post and Harbor, Samsung provided a 34-foot, 8K Samsung IWA LED and DCI-certified 4K Samsung Onyx LED displays to create a true cinema-style environment for theatrical color grading and immersive sound mixing. The groundbreaking studio environment not only signifies a leap into the future of cinematic production and consumption but also underscores the trust that experts place in Samsung’s technology.
       
       
      Culver Post: A Beacon of Innovation in Post-Production and HDR Cinematography
      ▲ Samsung Electronics provided a 34-foot, 8K Samsung IWA LED and DCI-certified 4K Samsung Onyx LED displays to Culver Post in partnership with 424 Post and Harbor
       
      Culver Post was created thanks to the visionary collaboration between renowned Los Angeles sound studio 424 Post and global post-production leader Harbor. This full-service post-production studio is expected to bring unmatched HDR and SDR mastering capabilities.
       
      Why were Samsung’s display technologies specifically chosen by 424 Post and Harbor, both leaders in their respective fields? The answer lies in Samsung’s commitment to innovation, quality and the immersive viewing experience.
       
      The Culver Post offers five stages for theatrical color grading and sound mixing, with the first stage outfitted with Samsung’s cutting-edge 34-foot, 8K IWA LED cinema display and the second stage with the DCI-certified 4K Onyx LED display. Each stage is complemented by Meyer Sound Ultra Reflex cinema sound systems featuring Dolby Atmos sound. Both stages can accommodate approximately 50 guests, which allows the post-production team to experience a true cinematic working environment for directors, cinematographers, editors, colorists and other professionals.

      The 8K IWA LED cinema display is ideal for both HDR and SDR color grading, while Onyx, the world’s first DCI-certified cinema LED display, is perfect for HDR color grading and mastering. These displays outperform standard digital cinema projection systems in terms of detail, contrast and brightness, positioning Culver Post at the forefront of cinematic technology and ensuring that the studio is future-proofed for upcoming advancements in post-production technology.
       
      “Samsung is committed to using innovative display technology to revolutionize the way that content is created and consumed,” said David Phelps, Head of the Display Division, Samsung Electronics America. “The new Culver Post post-production studio marks a tangible milestone in the future of cinema and post-production. Filmmakers and creators can now edit and experience video content as it would be seen and heard on the big screen to enable immersive storytelling that leaves a lasting impact on audiences.”

      The selection of Samsung’s technology for Culver Post reflects the displays’ superior capabilities for HDR post-production. Enhanced brightness, contrast and detail transform the color grading and mastering process, allowing creators to see their work as it will appear in realistic viewing environments. The theaters and their immersive cinema display also turn mastering into a communal creative experience, bringing the entire production team together for collaboration.
       
      ▲ Each theater offers a cinema-style viewing experience, with enough seating to host small groups for exclusive screenings and post-production sessions
       
      The collaboration with Culver Post is a testament to Samsung’s leadership in display technology and the company’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of cinematic experiences. By meeting the high standards of industry experts like 424 Post and Harbor, Samsung continues to raise the bar for post-production studios worldwide.
