ZeeVee Inc.
ZeeVee Inc., the creators of ZvCast™ technology for localcasting anything a computer can do to all the HDTVs in the home, is helping to redefine television as we know it. Through the creation of a new HD channel called “Zv”, the company’s ZvBox™ is liberating consumers from traditional TV constraints and opening the HDTV to the universe of Internet and computer video and applications.

3ality Digital
3ality Digital produces the highest quality live-action 3D feature films and commercials. To do so, we have built the world’s first all-digital online 3D post facility. We manufacture stereoscopic camera systems with sophisticated artificial intelligence that automatically align and adapt to mechanical and lens imperfections that can increase costs, reduce quality and cause eyestrain. Our post processing facility, including a full RealD 3D theater, allows us to work with and project uncompressed stereoscopic HD/2K online. 3ality Digital’s 3D postproduction toolset provides 3D aware tools for common post operations, such as conforming, basic effects and color grading, in addition to 3D specific operations such as 3D image and color balancing, Z-axis and convergence manipulation, image alignment and layering. Finally, our electronics enhance the 3D content supply chain by enabling 3D live broadcast origination, actively managing stereoscopic image quality and viewing comfort, allowing theater specific 3D optimizations and dynamically creating depth maps necessary to drive auto stereoscopic monitors from live feeds. http://www.3alitydigital.com/
RallyPoint
In 2006, entertainment-based “social networking” reached the mainstream. Online video sharing and fantasy sports usage soared. Broadcast programs like American Idol generated more votes than the presidential election, yet broadcasters scramble to keep their shows relevant through user-generated blogs and chat rooms.
Rallypoint was formed to meet this demand by defining a bold new way to take information and interactivity from the Internet and deliver it to the television instantly, on demand, at the press of the remote. http://www.rallypoint.tv/
