Intercast technology combines TV and web content together and delivers an entirely new viewer experience. Intercast technology delivers the best of two worlds: TV and web content. It promises great opportunities for broadcasters, OEMs, software developers, and content developers. The technology is well tested and support continues to grow. As a hybrid application, Intercast technology pushes content to the local PC, provides a fast and transparent user experience, and delivers real-time access to Internet content, despite the limited bandwidth available to most PC owners via their 28.8 Kbps modems.

Intercast technology represents an excellent opportunity for broadcasters, advertisers, content developers, and software developers to deliver rich, compelling, and interactive viewer experiences on a PC. Because Intercast technology requires no special authoring tools to develop content, content developers can begin creating Intercast content today. With the assistance of the Intercast Content Management Software SDK, developers can take web content and easily prepare it for distribution via an Intercast broadcast. Interested developers should contact Intel's Hybrid Authoring Studio to learn more about Intercast technology and the related development environment.
