Nero AG, leaders in
digital media technology, in cooperation with KiSS
Technology, one of the leading producers of DVD products worldwide today
announced the release of a new DVD recorder that supports files in Nero Digital™
format. This expands the availability of Nero Digital hardware products on the
market opening up new dimensions in the world of digital video for consumers
while playing back Nero Digital™ files with their highest quality.

The DP-558 DVD recorder manufactured
by KiSS Technology truly
leaves nothing at all to be desired '“ direct access to PC files, live
television, unlimited, comfortable recording of TV programmes as well as online
applications such as WebRadio and online games that can be enjoyed on the
television screen. It is easy to experience Nero Digital™ file formats live on
TV with this unit: Simply install the Nero Recode 2 CE DVD transcoding
software on your PC. Convert any existing video file into the Nero Digital™
format, and you can already play these back on the DVD recorder. The special
network functions of the product enable a connection between the KiSS DVD
recorder and a PC or Mac. Your favourite Nero Digital™ files can be stored and
played back on the DVD recorder itself, by means of its integrated 80-gigabyte
hard disk, without having to turn on the PC or having to burn and insert a CD or
DVD. You only need to key the IP address of the DP-558 into the Internet browser
of the PC to view the entire contents of the hard disk of the DVD recorder.
Finally, you can simply copy all the Nero Digital™ Audio, Video and picture
files onto the DP-558 and rename them all on the hard disk from your PC. And all
television programs that have already been recorded can be transferred and
copied onto a DVD on your PC just as easily with Nero Digital™.

KiSS Technology," said Jim Corbett, Executive Director
of Nero. "The enormous growth of Nero Digital™, also into playback products,
