3 Vision CEO Allan Smith told XBiz that the deal allows the company to broadcast content on its own channel through IPTV provider Entice.TV. IPTV is an emerging technology providing interactive adult content viewing in high-definition.
“We met with [Entice.TV] at the AVN Awards and went over a lot of stuff,” Smith told XBiz, adding the meeting lasted about 40 minutes before the two companies decided to partner. “They saw our product and they liked it. We’re straight shooters, we’re in this for the long haul and we’re right there at the forefront of this new technology.”
Entice.TV also has partnered with Wicked Pictures, as well as New Sensations, Digital Sin, Zero Tolerance Entertainment and Third Degree Films.
“Allan is right – this is totally revolutionary and will change the way adult videos are delivered to all consumers of adult entertainment,” Entice.TV’s Susan Keil added. “There are no packages in ‘plain brown wrappers’ coming to your door, no adult stores to visit, no DVDs to return and there’s no planning involved for what you want to watch.”
Using a broadband connection and a standard computer video cable, Entice.TV partners with studios to offer studio-branded, DRM-protected channels on the company’s network, fed through its high-speed connection to television sets, where viewers can download the videos and watch at their leisure.
Entice.TV also gives consumers access to highly individualized broadcasting, allowing customers to view only the content they’re interested in watching.
“Basically it provides a new avenue of Internet video,” Smith told XBiz. “We shoot in HD and [Entice.TV] does provide true HDTV [and] true wide-screen and full-screen formatting.”
Current Entice.TV producers include Smash Pictures, US Male, The Body Shoppe, Taylor Wane Entertainment, Bizarre Productions, CustomBoys, American Male Studios, GM Vide, WildLife Productions, Multimedia Pictures, Totally Tight Video, Pumpkin Studios, Channel 69 Video, BGM, Ty Lattimore Entertainment, Passion Productions, Coast to Coast Video, In-X-Cess Films and Rain Productions/Acid Rain/Demolition.
