AirCastLive for Sending and Sharing Video

AirCast Mobile, Inc. announced AirCastLive, a video sharing and messaging service for smart TVs poised to change how consumers interact with their television.

It enables anyone with an iOS- or Android-based mobile device to capture, save, and share their personal content and send it to a smart TV.

Consumers can capture moments from anywhere and share them with friends and loved ones on their HDTV.

In addition to the Google Play and iTunes App Store, it is launching on Roku and Google TV set-top boxes, with smart TV integration on the way.

“Smartphones are today’s primary mechanism for capturing video, but despite advances in mobile media quality, few people would choose their phones over their TVs when it comes to watching something important like a wedding or a baby’s first steps,” said Mike Linhardt, founder and CEO, AirCast Mobile. “AirCastLive is the first service to give consumers a simple, straight-forward mechanism to share this video content with whomever they wish regardless if it’s across the street, across town or across the globe. It’s literally as easy as sending a text message.”

This is a service that integrate a consumer’s smartphone with their smart TV. The service is a way for anyone to share video and photo messages about the most important moments from vacation, business, events or just plain old everyday life with friends and family.

Consumer needs to do is sign-up and install the app on their smartphone and streaming device or smart TV. From there, the consumer can get AirCasting! They record a video and press a button to upload it to their account. Then it’s just the push of another button to share that video with anyone else with the program installed on their smartphone, PC or TV. The receiving party will see a small icon in the corner of their TV, letting them know they have a message waiting for them.

It isn’t restricted to smartphones. You can also upload video you capture on the Internet from your PC and view it or share it from your TV. In addition to video, AirCasters can share photos or a combination of photos and video from the same account. It can also send content to multiple users at once.

It is currently available for use with Roku and Google TV set-top boxes. It will also soon be available on major smart TVs and is undergoing trials with tier-1 North American MSOs.

Consumers will also need to install the mobile app on their iOS- or Android-based mobile devices. The PC interface is a web interface available through any browser.
