OverCast
Mobile device-based personalized video content search and select to instantly watch it on widescreen TV
OverCast is a mobile device-based application (e.g. smartphones, tablets) that allows users to find TV
shows, movies and Internet videos and immediately watch them on widescreen TV. Using OverCast,
users can share videos with their friends and get video recommendations from people they trust.
OverCast supports paid content as well as ad-based content. The application supports video on-demand,
catch-up TV, linear TV, local content and Internet video.
OverCast enables CE vendors, content providers and service providers to seamlessly distribute video
content to connected devices such as connected TVs, connected Blu-ray/DVD players, digital media
players, STBs and gaming consoles.
OverCast is integrated with WebTView Video Platform, which organizes video content and distributes it
through its open API. Since the user is identified by the video platform, targeted advertising becomes
very natural and most effective. OverCast enables users to pay for content from the mobile phone using
Pay-Per-View (PPV) and subscription among other payment methods.
