Abstract

The arrival of head mounted displays (HMDs) to the contemporary living room extends the need for producing content that works for the television and companion screen devices. In this work we introduce a set of three tools that can be used for the production and delivery of synchronous multi-device content, across the TV, companion screens and HMDs. The production tool is implemented as a custom Adobe Premiere Pro plugin. The publication and delivery process is implemented as an online service controlled through a web application. The content playout is implemented with a multi-device video player that combines video decoding and playout. In this article we introduce the design choices guiding our software development and the different tools we developed to realize it. We also detail some basic measures of system performance on different devices, and propose further steps towards the easy production and delivery of multi-device content.
