According to a recent article by EMediaLive, the upcoming Blu-ray release of '
Highlander: Season One' will feature many BD Touch special features including facts, bios, and bonus videos that viewers can download to their iPhone or iPod Touch. The release was authored using NetBlender's DoStudio authoring suite which features the app generating software.
First introduced last year, BD Touch is an application which allows viewers to connect their iPhone or iPod Touch to their Blu-ray player, providing them access to special content and the ability to take that content on the go. Another useful feature is the ability for an iPhone or iPod Touch to act as a Blu-ray remote, something that is especially convenient during text entry for BD-Live features.
Now that BD Touch has been integrated into DoStudio and simplified for rapid development, NetBlender hopes that many more titles will use their unique software.
John Harrington, CEO of NetBlender, commented, "Having this intelligent mobile device in your lap while you are actually watching a disc, and engaging the special features on the disc makes the disc come to life."
