Streaming. It's a mobile world with video everywhere. It's important that CE makers know different device-to-device streaming solutions...and even more important for CE dealers to understand the opportunities consumers have when using devices for video.
John Barrett, Director Consumer Analytics at Parks Associates writes about four solutions that allow consumers to access OTT (Over-the-Top) content on their TVs.
Apple AirPlay
With AirPlay, your customers can wirelessly stream what’s on their iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch to their HDTV and speakers via Apple TV. Or mirror their iPad, iPhone 4S, or Mac screen.
iMediaShare
Bianor develops this mobile software solution that lets your customers deliver video from their mobile to the connected DLNA-enabled TV. iMediaShare offers a widget with a “Watch on TV” button that can be easily embedded within any online video, allowing site visitors to instantly shift content from their smartphones or tablets directly to their TVs with just one click. iMediaShare uses iPhone and Android phones as a remote to beam online videos to connected televisions.
