Brightcove announced today the introduction of App Cloud Core, a free
edition of the company's app platform that allows developers to create
native iOS apps using HTML5 and JavaScript. In addition, one of the major
new features of the API is the ability for developers to easily create dual-
screen apps for iOS devices to broadcast content to the Apple TV over
AirPlay.
The new solution enables media publishers to develop rich content apps for
the iPhone and iPad that simultaneously control content, data and
information presented on an HDTV while displaying synchronized content on
the iPad or iPhone. The unique dual-screen solution leverages Apple's
AirPlay technology, which allows viewers to use applications that
simultaneously present content, interactive options and data on both the
touch device and an Apple TV.
This ability to broadcast separate content to a user's device and Apple TV
is not new (Real Racing 2 HD Demo), but the new APIs provide another easy
way for developers to implement these features. Brightcove offers this demo
of how it can be used:
There's been a lot of attention to how Apps might work on a television
interface. Microsoft recently announced a new technology called SmartGlass
which offers a two-way Airplay-like standard that allows mobile devices to
act as second screens for content being displayed on TV from an Xbox.
Beyond Apple's own efforts with AirPlay, there has been rumors that Apple
might take it a step further with a fully developed Apple TV app model as
well as the possibility of a full Apple television set in the near future. |
