Liberty Global 2nd Screen iPad TV Application Developed by Intellicore

AMSTERDAM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intellicore, a developer of innovative IPTV & Cloud TV applications for iPad, is the company that developed the 2nd Screen application for Liberty Global’s Horizon Project. The iPad application was shown during the IBC keynote session of Mike Fries, President & CEO of Liberty Global.

“The application offers a novel TV consumption experience and is securely integrated with the media delivery infrastructure.”

“We are extremely pleased to have completed the first round of development for what we believe is the most sophisticated iPad TV application on the market today” commented Christian Trotobas, CEO of Intellicore. “The application offers a novel TV consumption experience and is securely integrated with the media delivery infrastructure.”

The team at Intellicore has been totally focused on Apple technology for the past ten years which has put the company today at least two years ahead of all its competitors. This competence was the key ingredient to delivering such an innovative TV application for iOS devices ahead of all the other players in the market.

“We are very happy to be working with Intellicore on Horizon, an important strategic project”, commented Andrew Kearney, Vice President TV Products of UPC Broadband, the European cable division of Liberty Global . ”A huge amount of the work on this kind of project is in the deep detail of the implementation of the user experience - Intellicore brings a wealth of expertise, flexibility and competence to the development. ”

Liberty Global’s “Horizon” is an elegant media and entertainment platform for the home, which seamlessly integrates cable, web-based and personal content. The multimedia home gateway of Horizon will create a wireless network that connects your TV to all of your personal devices - computers, tablets and smartphones. The TV interface uses 3D graphics and images that will bring your content to life and make navigating simple, instant and seamless. Supported by search and recommendation features, it will integrate access to personal media content such as photos, music and movies stored in the home or in the cloud. Horizon will also allow customers to take their entertainment experience beyond their home TVs. Applications have been developed for smartphones and tablet devices (second screens) as well as web browsers that will enable a similar and complementary experience on different devices both in and out of the home.

Given the on going market shift to tablets, and the reliability of broadband connections, it is clear that the future expansion of content distribution will be closely coupled with that of tablets. Consumers expect a new experience and Intellicore has delivered on that promise.
