Theater Certification takes advantage of improved IC capabilities
to offer a home theater-like experience at standard definition
resolutions on a variety of mobile devices. With DivX Mobile
Theater, mobile licensees can ensure their phones support studio
requirements for premium content playback in the DivX format,
provide true DVD-like quality, and offer an improved user
experience. The new certification profile supports DivX Home
Theater resolution video natively on the phone. Users can easily
play most standard definition Internet video content by dragging
and dropping the files onto their phone with no conversion
necessary. Also, with high-quality resolution playback, consumers
who own phones with a TV-Out feature can playback video content
from their phone directly on the TV turning their device into a
powerful portable media player. DivX technology allows movies to be
compressed to a fraction of their original size, while maintaining
excellent visual quality. Users can store up to 10 DVDs on their
phone with 8GB of internal memory or a removable card, and watch
their collection of videos anywhere they choose. "We have raised
the bar even higher for a true DVD-like experience in the living
room or on the go," said Kevin Hell, Chief Executive Officer, DivX,
Inc. "DivX Mobile Theater Certification offers a seamless video
playback experience on mobile devices for all types of video
content -- user-generated, Internet and premium content." The
certification kit is now available to DivX IC and OEM licensees.
