DivX, Inc. (NASDAQ:DIVX), a digital media company, today announced the high-definition (HD) DivX Certification™
of Broadcom Corporation's BCM7405 system-on-a-chip (SoC) solution.
Building on Broadcom’s current family of SoCs,
including the BCM7452 and BCM7403, which have already achieved
standard-definition (SD) DivX Certification, the BCM7405 provides
advanced internet provider (IP) functionality and improved video and
audio performance for satellite, cable and IP set-top boxes (STBs). This
next generation product can support the playback of DivX 1080p content,
and other key integrated features for digital television content such as
recording, playback, time-shifting and trick modes.
"DivX is a key player in high-quality digital
content distribution and consumption, and we are pleased to continue
collaborating with them to support our shared customers’
goals of supporting the widest selection of video and audio content
formats,” said Aidan O’Rourke,
Senior Director of Marketing, IPTV Set-Top Box Products for Broadcom.
DivX® technology significantly reduces the
file sizes of digital video, and DivX Certification enables consumers to
play DivX video content on a range of entertainment devices such as
digital video recorders, portable media players, digital televisions,
Blu-ray DVD players, and mobile phones. This improved compression makes
it easier to move and share high-quality content between devices, making
the entertainment experience more enjoyable for consumers. By supporting
HD DivX, the BCM7405 will play an important role in bringing these
technology benefits to the market.
"This new DivX Certified chip from Broadcom
illustrates our commitment to ensuring a high-quality video experience
across any device,” said Kevin Hell, Chief
Executive Officer, DivX, Inc. "Working with
Broadcom has afforded us the opportunity to meet the rising demand for
our high-definition solution in the emerging product categories of
digital televisions and set-top boxes.”
Products that bear the DivX Certified® logo
