KIT digital, a cloud-based software solutions and
technology services provider for multiscreen video management and delivery,
announced the launch of the KIT Connected Device Framework, a collection of
native application templates and a software development kit (SDK) designed to
help organizations simplify the process of delivering unified socially-enabled video
experiences across multiple internet connected devices, including connected
TVs, game consoles, set-top boxes (STB), smartphones and tablets.
The KIT Connected Device Framework is a component of the
next-generation KIT Video Platform that enables video providers to deliver
content from any source to any screen leveraging the latest in social TV and
mobility solutions.
“With IP network-connected devices expected to
outnumber people 2 to 1 by 2015 and mobile subscribers expected to grow to
nearly 4.9 billion worldwide by 2013, it’s critical that video service
providers have efficient and cost-effective solutions for supporting the range
of devices audiences use to access video,” said Alex Blum, chief operating
officer, KIT digital.
“However, a lack of common standards across device
platforms is making it increasingly difficult to deliver high quality,
consistent and secure video applications across the growing range of device
environments. KIT digital, with the support of a growing number of industry
partners, has addressed this challenge head-on with our fully integrated and
already proven Connected Device Framework,” Blum added.
Through the extension of the KIT App Studio, the company’s
industry-leading cloud-based media player authoring solution, the Connected
Device Framework enables organizations to configure and deliver custom native
mobile and connected device applications with drag-and-drop ease without
writing a single line of code.
Recently, KIT digital, Celvision Technologies, and imcube
labs, announced that the three companies are teaming up.
There will co-develop an end-to-end solution that joins
content services and platform technology to enable any media company, device
manufacturer, network operator or enterprise to produce, manage and deliver 3D
video over Internet Protocol (IP) across multiple screens.
