Synacor Inc. (Nasdaq: SYNC) and Shorts International, the
world’s leading short film entertainment company and operator of
the ShortsTV channel, today announced the integration of Synacor’s
Cloud Identity Platform with the ShortsTV streaming App. Current
subscribers to the ShortsTV channel in the US can contact their
provider to access on-demand content.
“ShortsTV films are perfect for viewing on the go, and our goal
was to find the industry’s top authentication platform to make it
easier than ever for our subscribers to find and watch our
high-quality, snackable content anywhere they want,” said Carter
Pilcher, Chief Executive of Shorts International. “Synacor’s Cloud
ID is a reliable, innovative platform that makes authentication
easy for viewers of ShortsTV, and streamlines access to our
programming across our partners.”
“We are proud to support the best TV Everywhere experiences on
the world’s most popular platforms, and welcome ShortsTV to our

advanced machine-learning algorithm technology, the ShortsTV App
lets viewers watch TV or create, control and personalize their own
TV channel. ShortsTV offers hundreds of the world’s best
independent shorts for download on iTunes in 92 countries, as well
