App to synch tablets, phones with displays to show at IBC2011

July 5, 2011

At IBC2011, never.no will highlight its Synchronized Companion App Framework, the latest advance for its flagship Interactivity Suite, the company announced today. Companion app buzz is growing with this new emerging technology, which enables the viewer to sync tablets, PCs or smartphones to the action on television.

IBC is a trade show for professionals engaged in the creation, management and delivery of broadcasting media and entertainment, and this year's show is in Amsterdam in September.

Visitors to the never.no stand will enjoy a full 360-degree view of an interactive broadcast and companion app workflow, thus gaining firsthand understanding of the benefits IS and the Synchronized Companion App Framework can bring to their own broadcasts — from every viewpoint from viewer to producer. Furthermore, an exclusive demo and behind-the-scenes look at the first-ever live television synchronized companion iPad app for Norwegian TV2's coverage of the Tour de France will be on display. Reaktor, the development firm responsible for delivering the app, will be on hand to further demonstrate the iPad app and share its experience working with the never.no framework.

In the Vizrt stand, the capabilities of the never.no Synchronized Companion App Framework will also be on display in conjunction with Vizrt graphics engines, touchscreens and augmented-reality solutions.
