What is FrameChannel?

Thinking Screen Media’s web services platform, FrameChannel, allows for the selection and configuration of content for delivery to a connected screen. With nearly 1000 channels, users can combine their personal content (photos, tweets, messages, and favorite RSS feeds) with commercial content such as news, weather, sports, financial and local information.

Partnerships with photosharing and social networking sites allow users to access their personal photos. Commercial content providers deliver a vast library of channels from popular, recognizable sources. In addition, a massive library of hyper-local RSS feeds has been assembled to provide easy access to local events, town and city government updates and happenings at the local schools.

Partnerships with connected screen manufacturers have made FrameChannel widely available on an array of devices. FrameChannel serves content to media players, connected TV's, digital photo frames, video game consoles, internet radios, telephones and other information appliances.

A friendly user interface allows for previewing content prior to selection and applying configurations such as playtimes, duration and frequency of content inclusion. The result of channel selection and configuration is a Media RSS file (in simple terms, a playlist) which is requested by the Connected Screen. The Media RSS file is dynamic and will change on each request from the Connected Screen based upon the content available and configuration settings at the time of the request.

FrameChannel fills an integral role by connecting manufacturers and content providers with consumers, allowing revenue potential in this new market dubbed "the fourth screen". With it's large library of content, ease of customization and availability on a wide range of devices, FrameChannel improves the end user's experience and transforms any connected screen into an active consumer experience.
