The way that we watch television is changing. For decades, watching TV was a static experience, limited to the passive viewing of content made available by a distributor, viewed through a single device in a single location at a particular time. But consumers are no longer content with those options. With the accelerating accessibility of video content through laptops, tablets, and other web-enabled devices, watching online video and streaming television is a dynamic viewing experience, characterized by flexibility and interactivity. Giga Entertainment Media (“GEM”) has developed a cutting-edge product solution that capitalizes on the trends described above. GEM offers an “Interactive Digital Distribution Platform” that can function as an app on tablets, and a web portal for use on laptops and smart TVs, with versions for OSX, iOS, Android, and Windows. The platform makes digital content, including live video, canned video, user-generated content, and gaming content, available to an authenticated user and user group. GEM’s Dynamic Multi-Window Viewer transforms a single screen into a customized multi-screen viewing environment. GEM’s Stream Management feature uses proprietary synchronized buffering technology that allows simultaneous viewing of multiple uninterrupted content streams. Users can choose pre-set grid configurations with 4, 5, or 6 windows, or create a customized grid. Each window can be populated with live or recorded streaming and non-streaming content chosen by the user or inserted by the content provider.
