Fishing TV app Developed by Miomni on Samsung Smart TV Reels in 40,000 Downloads


London, United Kingdon (PRWEB UK) 23 August 2012

Fishing TV has launched a connected TV app on Samsung devices that has been downloaded more than 40,000 times globally in the four weeks since it launched.

The app, developed by VoD provider Miomni, features four channels, including Sea Watch and Coarse Fishing, which are available to view on-demand. It replicates the content available via the Fishing TV website, which is updated bi-monthly with around three hours of magazine-style video content.

Fishing TV plans to extend the app to LG, Panasonic and Sony connected TVs, and beef up the range of content by striking distribution deals with other fishing channels.

Fishing TV channel director Gareth Purnell said connected TV was changing the landscape for niche broadcasters. We sidelined the idea of launching a channel on Sky as the numbers simply didnt add up, he said. The Samsung app allows us to harness the power of TV in a way that makes commercial sense.

He added that the app also offered the channel valuable international exposure, with the most downloads coming from the UK, Russia, the US and Germany.

As well as working on the Fishing TV project Miomni have worked with major Broadcasters, Film studios, Sporting brands and Gaming organisations to provide cutting edge digital solutions on multiple platforms and devices on a Global scale.

Miomni have long standing Strategic Partnerships with all the major Platform Manufacturers as well as operating System providers and as such have been able to create a number of unique and compelling solutions.

Prolucid Technologies Inc. Awarded Nearly $900,000 from Ontarios Smart Grid Fund


Mississauga, ON (PRWEB) June 11, 2012

Mississauga, ON, 11 June 2012 Prolucid Technologies Inc., a Toronto-based software engineering firm, announced today that it has been awarded $ 887,820 from Ontarios Smart Grid Fund to demonstrate its embedded LocalGrid software at Exhibition Place in Toronto.

In the two-year demonstration period, starting later this year, Prolucid will build an integrated network of intelligent grid devices to manage, monitor and control the power grid at Exhibition Place, an ideal site due to its high public profile and its current mix of distributed generation installation, including solar, wind and CHP (co-generation heat and power).

The project will integrate these existing devices using the latest grid communication protocols, providing Toronto Hydro-Electric System Limited (Toronto Hydro) with an unprecedented level of detail about power quality, load, capacity and generation output across the network. Toronto Hydro will be able to use this data and the new tools the software provides to optimize the generation and consumption of power on the local grid at Exhibition Place, while also improving the quality and reliability of power in Toronto. Toronto Hydro is excited to be part of this innovative project. It should allow us to bring more green energy projects online, said Richard Ford, Manager, Grid Solutions, Toronto Hydro.

Prolucid has partnered with Toronto Hydro, National Instruments (NI), Ciufo & Cooperberg Consulting Inc. and WindShare, the cooperative that owns and operates the Exhibition Place wind turbine with Toronto Hydro. These partnerships will leverage industry experience and expertise to develop viable grid solutions that will ultimately reduce the cost of building a new, smarter electricity grid and increase the connection of clean, renewable energy into Ontarios generation mix.

The software and hardware platform based on National Instruments (NI) CompactRIO technology will allow Prolucid and Toronto Hydro to rapidly prototype, develop and deploy technologies that are designed to meet the requirements of the local grid, while also providing greater technology headroom for future requirements that have yet to be developed.

Due to the complexity of the electric power system, integration is key. The NI platform is beneficial because it addresses both legacy and intelligent energy systems. Distributed intelligence deployments will provide utilities with data that was previously unavailable, said Owen Golden, Vice President of National Instruments Global Energy Segment. Utilities will gain the ability to see across their entire system as well as the interconnection of renewable energy sources. This project will enable Toronto Hydro to harness the advanced analytics of the technology as it identifies new customer requirements that drive the evolution of the smart grid.

This funding and the demonstration project ensure that Ontario will continue to lead in the development of smart grid technology, said Bob Leigh, President, Prolucid Technologies Inc. Utilities globally face significant challenges to change the model of power consumption, reducing greenhouse gases and increasing the efficiency of the grid. The technology Prolucid is developing will allow utilities to rapidly upgrade their grid and move forward with better, greener solutions.
