Free App Lets Users Stream Online Videos from Smartphones and Tablets to Virtually Any Connected Living Room Device
December 12, 2012--San Diego, CA—PacketVideo today announced that the company’s Twonky Beam
product, a free app that lets users discover and transfer online video content from a tablet or mobile
device to a television with the touch of a button, now works with the Xbox 360 game console and Roku
streaming players. With the addition of these popular products to the existing lineup of devices that
support Twonky Beam, including Apple TV, AT&T U-verse, multiple models of connected televisions, and
legacy DLNA devices, Twonky Beam now works with well over 90% of connected living room media
devices.
Twonky Beam enables users to easily “beam” online and personal video content from a PC, Android or
iOS device to the living room with the simple press of a button. Unlike proprietary solutions that only
work within a closed environment, Twonky technology is an open solution that works across brands,
operating systems and industry standards to bridge the gap between mobile devices and the living
room.
“Twonky Beam offers the best of both worlds for today’s connected consumer. Tablet and mobile
devices have become enormously popular for the discovery and consumption of video content, and that
trend shows no sign of slowing down,” said Jerome Rota, Senior Vice President of Consumer Products
and Services at Packet Video. “We believe that the so-called “second screen” will soon become the hub
of the consumer media experience, but we also know that video content is best enjoyed in the living
room on the big screen. With Twonky Beam, anyone can discover and access content on a tablet or
smartphone and then seamlessly enjoy that content on the television through great products like the
Xbox 360, Roku and Apple TV. ”
Twonky Beam is part of Packet Video’s full suite of connected home products, which includes the
flagship Twonky Server software. Twonky Beam is available as a free download from the Apple App
Store or Google Play. For more information on Packet Video products and solutions, visit
