Case Study: ZapMyTV achieves a social, high-quality, cross-platform TV portal with Adobe ColdFusion

ZapMyTV - Customer Case Study

ZapMyTV is an innovative social broadband video portal that set out to combine live cable TV, theatrical films, and social networking into a single, easy-to-use environment available on virtually any device. To meet challenges around rich interactivity, cross‑platform reach, content security, and rapid development, ZapMyTV built its platform using Adobe ColdFusion technologies alongside the Adobe Flash Platform (including Adobe Flex Builder, Flash Media Server, and LiveCycle Data Services ES).

Working with Twin Technologies, ZapMyTV used Adobe ColdFusion as the middle layer and Adobe Flash components to deliver the ICE Player, real‑time chat and picture‑in‑picture, synchronized multi‑device control, and Dynamic Streaming for superior video quality. The Adobe ColdFusion‑based solution enabled a working integration of program guides and back‑end services in one to two days, supports more than 20 television networks (with Paramount licensing its library), collects key usage metrics, and delivers a seamless, high‑quality viewing experience that content providers say is indistinguishable from satellite.
