The Morphic Group Helps Build PermissionTV PDK
July 30, 2008 – 10:11 am by JoeyThe Morphic Group has been working with PermissionTV since 2007, lending our engineering expertise to the architecture and development of the next generation of the PermissionTV platform. Specifically we’ve been working with them on the Platform Development Kit (PDK), which contains a large set of libraries and an application architecture designed for the express purpose of building highly flexible video applications for the PermissionTV platform using Flash and/or Flex. PermissionTV just announced the official launch of the PDK, and now we get to talk about the work we’ve been doing. This is good news for us because now we can finally start to disclose details of what we’ve been working on in silence for months and months.
We think the PDK is one of the coolest projects we’ve seen in a long time. We really like PermissionTV, and we think they’ve got a real edge over their competitors because they are willing to innovate in ways that others simply aren’t. Working with PermissionTV is a genuinely great experience. They seem to “get it” when it comes to the marketplace, and (for us) more importantly, when it comes to engineering. The PDK shows this, I think. Unlike many of their competitors PermissionTV’s PDK is a well-documented and well-engineered (which should go without saying since we had a hand in building it) complete (yet extensible) solution for building video applications.
