The application combines the best of internet and cable technologies to deliver fresh and timely weather information which includes video forecasts delivered by on-camera meteorologists. Users can watch video minutes after it was produced and can check the forecast for other markets without restarting or refreshing the application.
"This demonstrates how Internet technologies are delivering on the promise of the next generation television experience," said Braxton Jarratt, co-founder and CEO, Clearleap. "From expansion of local offerings to increased personalization for the viewer, this application is just one example of how web technologies have shifted the industry conversations from 'what if' to 'how fast'."
By leveraging Clearleap's ability to ingest video content from any source, convert it to a TV ready format and deliver it for near real-time integration, FourthWall was able to design an EBIF application using perishable, localized video content as the centerpiece. Using internet-like but cable friendly technologies, advertising can easily be inserted in either a graphic or video format. Advertisers can also track effectiveness of the advertising based on clicks or video plays.
"Our goal is to provide TV Widgets that are personalized, dynamic, and result in contextually relevant video. After all, the killer app on TV is TV. We plan on adding video to every TV Widget in our App Store over time, and Clearleap will help us do that," said Patrick Peters, EVP and GM of Programming for FourthWall Media.
