NetBlender announced today that it has partnered with BluFocus to
help streamline the development, implementation and certification of BD Touch applications. BluFocus will serve as the exclusive provider
of BD Touch SDKs and provide testing and certification services for BD Touch-enabled discs.
NetBlender and BluFocus have
formed a partnership for the development, implementation, and certification of BD Touch technology for the Blu-ray industry. BD Touch is
a new Blu-ray technology, developed by NetBlender, which allows iPhones and iPod Touch devices to interact with content on a Blu-ray
disc.
Under the new relationship, BluFocus will serve as the exclusive provider of BD Touch Software Development Kits (SDKs) to
movie studios, authoring facilities and tools providers who wish to produce BD Touch applications with NetBlender's Blend/In SDK.
BluFocus will also provide testing and certification services for BD Touch-enabled discs prior to replication.
"We are excited to
be working with NetBlender and BD Touch because we feel that the BD Touch technology offers the first Blu-ray interactive experience that
is designed to benefit the consumer and truly differentiate what Blu-ray has to offer from that of standard DVD," said Paulette E.
Pantoja, founder and CEO of BluFocus. "This two screen environment unlocks endless creative possibilities for a dynamic and engaging user
experience with a Blu-ray disc."
