The powerful Layer concept of BoinxTV means that you have
virtually endless possibilities for designing your show template. Feel free to use one of the included templates as a starting point and by simple customization
create a unique signature for your show. Take inspiration from the following, incomplete, gallery of demo reels highlighting technology in BoinxTV.

Creating Your Own Layers
For example, you might want to create games that can be played on-screen, receive SMS text messages from your audience, display real time depth and position information from a submarine over a live video that sends it or display stock market information.
The real power of BoinxTV lies in the fact that the Layers are actually made with a Mac OS X technology called Quartz Composer. Quartz Composer is an amazing visual environment for creating complex animations which are called Quartz Compositions.
Quartz Composer is a free Apple Developer Tool. Apple Developer Connection members can download the software from the ADC website. It is included in the "Graphics Tools for Xcode" bundle which can be found in the "Downloads for Apple Developers" section.
In theory, anyone can create their own BoinxTV Layers. To work with BoinxTV, the Quartz Compositions must contain certain elements so that BoinxTV and the layer can talk to each other and that the layer can display the media files BoinxTV sends to it. The technical documentation is included with BoinxTV under the Help menu.

Tuesday, May 14, 2013The newest installment of BoinxTV directly supports the global distribution of live news The landscape of news distribution has changed dramatically since the dawn of the Internet Age. These days, the “Twitterverse” is usually the first on the scene with breaking news – albeit allegations at best in most scenarios – with credited online news organizations following shortly after with more legitimatized versions of the story. With these younger news sources delivering stories at what, at times, feels faster than the speed of light, broadcast television has had to find ways to adapt and keep up in the race to deliver news. Television news broadcasting operates differently than that which is published on the vast online stratosphere. Needless to say, it requires a physical presence – journalists reporting from a newsroom or on the scene with a camera crew. Delivering a story isn’t always as simple as logging on and posting an article written from the comforts of one’s home. So when Chris...
