Catering to the creativity of application developers, LG Electronics’ flexible Smart TV platform is taking Adobe MAX by storm.
At the developers’ conference, LG is engaging Adobe’s developer community as part of a broad effort to welcome them into the LG Smart TV ecosystem and inspire them to create and deliver Adobe® Flash® based applications powered by Adobe AIR® for the LG Smart TV platform in TVs, Blu-ray Disc™ players, home theater systems and set-top devices. …
“You can earn more revenue for your existing projects today by joining the LG Apps TV marketplace,” said Sam Chang, general manager of LG’s Innovation Development Group, based in San Jose. “With an app marketplace in over 80 countries, plus a billing and advertising API, LG can help you monetize even further.”
Developers can begin creating LG apps today through LG’s App store developer community website (http://developer.lgappstv.com), and developers can download LG’s Smart TV platform SDK, which will include plug-in tools for Flash development.
Chang said the company also is using MAX to highlight the superior consumer experience of LG CINEMA 3D TVs that, when combined with LG Smart TV technology, allow developers to “deliver a significant amount of 3D content through the Internet into consumer living rooms.” This year’s LG CINEMA 3D Smart TV models include a 2D to 3D conversion feature optimized for live TV and video streaming content; 2012 devices will also support 2D to 3D conversion for apps, Chang explained.
AIR is a key element of the Flash Platform, enabling developers and content publishers to leverage existing code and familiar tools to deliver rich, standalone applications across devices and platforms. AIR 3 brings several advancements to TVs, including full hardware-accelerated rendering for 2D and 3D graphics to enable console-quality gaming applications, and full support of home entertainment systems with HD videos and 7.1 channel surround sound. Additionally, with the new Game Input API, developers can make a range of devices an integral part of the gaming experience on TV screens, including joysticks, smartphones and tablets. …
