Application Development

Much as the iPhone introduced the concept of apps to the mobile market, the next generation of media centre and setup top box platforms will allow interactivity with existing content sources via custom apps. This is a major feature of both Boxee (inclduing the Boxee Box) and Google TV.

Whether you are looking at bringing your browser based video platform to the TV or creating a service specifically for IP based delivery, Noisy Media can create visually appealing apps for these next generation systems that will break from the typical single user, small screen PC interface.

Noisy Media specialise in the creation and customisation of applications for leading streaming media platforms:

• Boxee - Combining social networking and streaming video direct to TV
• Google TV - Due late 2010. Testing now.
• XBMC - Perfect for custom and/or controlled devices

Media Centre Customisation

In addition to tailored VOD app development, Noisy Media also specialises in the creation of fully customised media centre environments. These are typically used in controlled areas such as product testing, advertising, focus groups etc but are well suited to any situation where a flexible offline/online delivery system is required. We are able to alter any portion of the system from the visual interface through to the available capabilities presented to the user.

For systems such as this we would typically recommend the use of XBMC, a high performance open source media centre platform. It is highly customisable and has wide ranging capabilities for playback of nearly any form of digital media. Whether you are looking for an off the shelf solution that needs only minor tweaks or a locked down, tightly controlled or monitored platform, XBMC is a perfect choice for a base product.
