[SatNews] New social sharing, multi-screen, anytime, web-video viewing will be demo'd at this trade show...

Amino Communications, a leading IPTV/OTT solutions provider, is to embed Vidiactive’s www.videobee.com service into its Freedom Media Centre – adding new social “sharing” multi-screen, anytime, web viewing functionality to the platform. VideoBee provides a single, centralized platform for users to manage, watch and share their favorite web videos across multiple screens and devices from one central place. They can then manage them into playlists, which can be accessed and watched on any device at any time. Embedding the VideoBee client into the Freedom platform, will enable users to watch web videos found on any device—such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop—on their TV screen as a full screen experiences using a simple remote control.

VideoBee’s PlaySpot facility also allows users to continue to watch a video from a paused point on a different device, in a different room or on a different screen. A user can begin to watch a movie on one device, “PlaySpot” it, and then continue view from where they paused on another device. Visitors to IBC 2011 can see the Videobee service running on Amino’s Freedom Jump OTT Companion Media Centre at Amino’s stand 5.B40. Amino’s Freedom media centers are available as a fully-featured hybrid/OTT device or as a “companion” media centre designed to complement existing cable and satellite STBs. Both are powered by the Intel® Atom™ processor CE4100 and MeeGo™ for the TV and have been designed to support common Internet formats such as Adobe® Flash® together with high definition 1080p capability.
