CyberLink Reveals UPnP™-Compliant Home
Entertainment Applications, PowerCinema, at Intel® Developer
Forum
CyberLink's support of UPnP™ technology delivers
convenient interoperability with future
media devices
Taipei, Taiwan----Apr. 12,
2004----CyberLink Corp. (Taiwan OTC: 5203), a leading developer of digital video
software and training solutions, will preview its latest Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP™) technology at the Intel® Developer Forum, Spring 2004, Taipei.
CyberLink solutions featuring UPnP™ technology
include CyberLink's all-in-one home entertainment center, PowerCinema, and the
award-winning DVD playback software, PowerDVD. New versions of each application
featuring UPnP™ technology are planned for release in the third quarter of
2004.
UPnP™, is about making home networking simple.
UPnP™-compliant products can automatically access and view multimedia contents
on other UPnP™ devices on a home network, without requiring additional
configuration of settings.
Future versions of PowerCinema featuring UPnP™
technology will be positioned as both digital media server and client player,
while PowerDVD will function as a digital media client player for UPnP™ home
networking environments. The technology will enable users of PowerCinema and
PowerDVD to automatically access the video, music and image files of other
UPnP™-compliant products.
"The new offering is made possible through Intel's
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™) Authoring Tools," said Dr. Jau Huang, Founder
and Chairman of CyberLink. "It has been a great experience to work with Intel
and we feel excited to share our UPnP™ technology experience with industry
leaders at the Intel® Development Forum. Intel® Networked Media Product
Requirements (Intel® NMPR) will play an important role in future digital home
networking, and getting Intel NMPR verification is CyberLink's next step.
PowerDVD, CyberLink's DVD playback solution featuring UPnP™ technology, has
previewed at CeBIT March 2004 and received rave attention from OEM customers.
CyberLink will continuously work with Intel to make both PowerCinema and
PowerDVD the ideal solution for OEM customers to build industry-standard digital
home networking products.?
