TVersity Connects Any UPnP/DLNA Device to Leading Web Resources Like Flickr, Webjay, Google Video and Yahoo!

Posted on: Wednesday, 26 April 2006, 12:00 CDT

TENAFLY, N.J., April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- TVersity Inc., the pioneer in bridging Internet content with televisions and mobile devices, today announced expanded support for audio and video podcasts and for media RSS feeds by Flickr, Webjay, Google video, Yahoo! video and others.

TVersity also announced its plans to further expand its offering and allow access to Internet and home media from a wide range of mobile devices including PDAs, cellular phones and mobile game consoles.

"This is a great step forward in bringing together all the media consumers care about and making it available for instantaneous playback on any device, anywhere, anytime. The ability to easily access from my TV, all the Internet media I care about whether it is a live TV channel that happens to be available only on the web, an on demand vlog, results of a video search query on Google or Yahoo!, or my Flickr photos, and just sit back and navigate it all with my remote is truly liberating", said Ronen Mizrahi, President of TVersity Inc.

TVersity's unique media server overcomes the inherent limitations of target devices by doing all the necessary conversions of media formats and streaming protocols on the fly thus allowing playback of any media on any device.

"New media formats constantly emerge and the wide range of devices we are using will always lag behind the PC when it comes to supporting these formats. TVersity, thanks to its unique transcoder, eliminates this concern by converting those formats on the fly," said Mr. Mizrahi, "this is a key building block in empowering viewers to create their own personalized programming guide from a multitude of sources, and have it follow them to the living room, to the gym or to the line in the bank."
