See How An Apple Branded Television Set Could Work [VIDEO]

Jeremy Allaire, the CEO of Brightcove, an leading online video hosting platform and online video player solution, believes that a core part of any Apple branded Television set project will be Airplay-enabled apps that allow iPhones and iPads to control and interact with the big screen HDTV, reports AllThingsD. Furthermore, Brightcove has announced today a free version of its App Cloud platform that lets developers build mobile apps painlessly, along with with an open source SDK to develop dual-screen applications.

Detailing via The Verge:

“The mythical Apple television set that everyone talks about is already here,” said Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Brightcove, sipping an iced cappuccino with The Verge on a particularly hot New York morning. “Airplay is the trojan horse that has put connected TVs into every household with a iPhone or an iPad.”

“The stuff I have heard about recently, what they are working on with Airplay, just makes my head spin,” said David Pakman, a venture capitalist with Venrock, who previously joined Apple in 1991 and went on to co-create the Apple Music Group in 1995. “With Airplay, all the pieces of the puzzle are in place in a way that simply isn’t true for any other big tech company.”
