NetBlender Plans to Merge Blu-ray & iPod, iPhone

SpeakerCraft isn't really the sole one particular with iPod/iPhone remote management programs.

This week, NetBlender will announce BD Contact, a technological know-how that links a BD-Live Blu-Ray participant to any iPhone or iPod touch.

Once the community (Wi-Fi or AT&T) is set up, users can tap into either device (literally) as a remote control?aas well as possibilities for instant interactivity including e-commerce and advertising (your favorite).

"The key thing is that BD Contact is a two way communication technology, meaning BD Touch allows Blu-Ray discs to send and receive data from an iPhone/iPod Touch," says Denny Breitenfeld, NetBlender's CTO. "The data can be images, text, audio, video and what we call Player commands like fast forward. This technological innovation is going to be built into our professional Blu-Ray authoring tool so studios can take advantage of it, and we are releasing an SDK so developers can create all kinds of applications for consumer."
