Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) has announced that TCL - China's largest TV brand - has adopted SiS9561 as the key SoC component of their first generation Internet smart TV. SiS9561 is based on the Android 2.2 Froyo platform, supporting an enhanced Internet browser with Adobe Flash Player 10.1, Skype video conference, and Quickboot.

Moreover, the SiS9561 Android Internet TV platform allows users to communicate with embedded Skype Internet video conferencing.

The SiS9561 Android Internet TV platform can be controlled by regular remote control switching the TV or Internet TV button to navigate the TV channel programs or Internet content to meet the expectation of keyboard-free usage. In addition, users can use their Android smartphone or tablet devices to control SiS9561 Android TV.
