We always talk about all the new innovations the internet brings to your computer.  But what does it do for your TV?

Atlanta based startup Clearleap is revolutionizing what TV providers can offer simply by allowing them to transmit programming via broadband rather than the traditional outlet of satellite.  According to the Clearleap website, “Content and associated advertising flows through the distribution chain from programmer to distributor to viewer in just minutes over high speed terrestrial networks.  Clearleap’s solutions, which are offered either as turnkey managed services or as licensed components, are built upon a powerful network-based computing platform spread across geographically diverse and redundant datacenters.”  Programmers can also use it to improve footage to HD quality before a broadcast.

That may not sound that exciting until you understand the implications of Clearleap’s system for all of TV.  According to their CEO and founder Braxton Jarratt, “We’re seeing some pretty interesting applications of our system where people are launching video on demand sports networks in a local market but managing it two to three cities away.  They’re launching things in a matter of weeks instead the months or years it normally takes.”  By enabling more people to easily broadcast an array of programs in less time, in better quality and for less money, Clearleap ensures we’ll never be short of quality TV programming for years to come.
