Motive Adds Google Chromecast to TabletTV
Ability to send content to large screen TV's
Motive Television PLC (AIM: MTV), the technology provider to
broadcasters and pay television operators, announced today that
that following recent meetings and discussions with Google, the
Company will begin integrating Google's Chromecast technology into
Motive's TabletTV apps.
This will make it possible for TabletTV users who have the
popular Chromecast thumb-sized media streaming devices to send what
they are viewing on their tablets directly to the home TV screen.
When using TabletTV and Chromecast, TabletTV users will need to use
the Home Network feature.
The new functionality will become available during the next two
months via an update to the TabletTV app. This capability will work
with the existing apps for iPads as well as the upcoming ones for
Android tablets.
Once implemented, TabletTV will be shown on the "Featured" tab
on Google's Chromecast app website. Chromecast.com/apps is one of
the first results that show up when users search for Chromecast.
Opportunities also exist for the co-promotion and bundling of
TabletTV with Chromecast in the future.
Leonard M Fertig, CEO of Motive, commented, "Motive is thrilled
to partner with Google in adding Chromecast to TabletTV, especially
as it has sold in the millions and is the top selling device on
Amazon. This exciting development is an example of the huge
potential of TabletTV to partner with major technology and
television platforms to create a better, more flexible, high-value
experience for the consumer. This is just the first of our
anticipated strategic and product cooperation agreements with
industry players that will benefit TabletTV customers."
