HD is a patented, state-of-the-art audio solution that makes a
remarkable improvement in the sound quality of any digital media.
By detecting and restoring audio cues buried in the original audio
source material, SRS WOW HD makes a demonstrable difference in the
overall entertainment experience -- content sounds more natural,
with renewed depth and clarity. SRS WOW HD provides an immersive 3D
audio experience with ultra-clear high-frequency definition and
deep, rich bass, breathing new life into any TV show, movie, or
video. Sling Media produces a wide range of networked media
products, including hardware, software, mobile software, backend
web services and the recently announced Sling.com website. The
Emmy(R) award-winning Slingbox is a small piece of hardware, which
when connected in their home, allows a customer to watch and
control their TV and/or DVR, through a home network or over the
Internet, from any of the SlingPlayer software applications. The
SlingPlayer for Windows software, now utilizing SRS WOW HD, works
hand-in-hand with the Slingbox hardware back at home, making the
entire living room TV viewing experience available on the laptop or
desktop computer -- anywhere. Users can view their favorite live
sporting events and recorded programs when they are away from home,
with full control of multiple entertainment devices, including
DVRs, cable or satellite set-top boxes, and even DVD players. "As
new convergence products and product categories are created, the
demand for audio performance and optimization becomes even
greater," said Allen Gharapetian, Vice President of Marketing for
SRS Labs. "The broad range of SRS technologies provides solutions
for any digital audio application, especially those associated with
the rapid growth of television viewing on computers over the
internet. Working with an industry leader like Sling Media is a
natural partnership, and we are pleased to help them deliver a
premium audio experience to the consumers in this growing and
popular new market." SRS WOW HD, when integrated into the
SlingPlayer for Windows software, will provide users with premium
sound through the remote computer's built-in speakers, separate
desktop speakers, or headphones. The upgraded SlingPlayer software,
available to customers in the first quarter of 2009, will be
provided initially to Slingbox PRO-HD owners. Sling Media expects
to support other Slingbox owners in subsequent releases. Existing
customers will be able to upgrade their systems to add SRS WOW HD
through the automatic update process built into the SlingPlayer
software. "With a goal of delivering the best possible picture and
sound quality to Slingbox owners, making the decision to integrate
advanced audio technologies from SRS was an easy one," said Ted
Malone, Vice President of Product Marketing and Product Management
for Sling Media. "SRS is the recognized authority in the audio
processing space, with a strong track record in both the television
and broadcast fields. We are very excited to partner with them in
order to deliver improved sound quality to our customers." About
