SmartVideo offers technology that enables fluid motion, fully synched
live video and audio broadcasts, even on phones running on current
2.5G cellular networks, making it the only such service able to
be called television in the true sense. Thanks to the successful
launch of the more robust 3G networks in the US SmartVideo can provide
3G-capable phones with a minimum of 24 frames per second and virtual
broadcast quality of at least 28 frames per second on Wi-Fi-enabled
devices.
SmartVideo states that close to 70 million phones in the US are
equipped with media players that support the SmartVideo system,
which is compatible with all major wireless carriers in the world.
Two Minute Television has taken their experience bringing short
form content to broadcast and cable television, as well as the Internet.
SmartVideo states that Two Minute Television's original, episodic
television programs are ideal for the third screen.
In addition to the three two-minute series it has in production,
Two Minute Television has six more series in development, including
Cinderella Stories. This follows a person's transformation
in preparation for his/her big day. Emma in Two is the first
two minute sitcom. The shows are all original and not re-purposed
from long form TV, and all are being made available for three screens:
television, the Internet and cellphones.
Two Minute Television and the recently announced Digital Music
Video Network, (which will offer the latest music videos from top
musical acts) are unique offerings in the emerging mobile television
business, offering their services free to anyone with a current-generation
media player installed on their device. The revenue for SmartVideo
and Two Minute Television will come from brief, 15-second ads. These
two channels make the promise and excitement of mobile television
to a virtually limitless consumer audience, one that is not tied
to any particular cellular service provider.
Two Minute Television chairman David Post says, "We are excited
about our relationship with SmartVideo, and believe that our rapidly
growing library of two minute television series is well-suited for
smartphones. SmartVideo's mobile television offering is easy and
robust, and will help subscribers to enjoy our content, anytime,
any place. We believe that TV is a perfect medium for cellphones."
Two Minute Television claims to be a pioneer and leader in the
short form video industry, with its content available on broadcast
and cable television, on the Internet, and on cell phones with TV
capability. The company brings nearly seven years of experience
in creating and producing two minute TV segments, for networks and
local stations, for news and entertainment shows.
