This week during the International Consumer Electronics Show 2009 at an
invitation-only exhibit at Caesars Palace, Macrovision Solutions
Corporation (NASDAQ:MVSN) will showcase its portfolio of technology
solutions for consumer electronics manufacturers including a new
next-generation on-screen program guide and the capability to deliver
digital content to Internet-connected televisions through Macrovision’s
interactive program guide (IPG).
The new guide, being developed under the project name "Neon”, provides a
framework for CE manufacturers to build next-generation devices that can
find and play broadcast and premium content, such as television shows,
Internet-delivered media and music as well as access and manage content
from consumers’ personal media libraries – all on one screen.
In addition, Macrovision has announced that it is working with CBS to
demonstrate the integration of select CBS Internet content including
episodes from its top-rated drama, CSI, which can be accessed directly
from Macrovision’s CE IPG on an Internet-connected television.
Earlier this week, Macrovision also announced two recent customer wins:
-
SANYO Manufacturing Corporation will deploy Macrovision’s Guide Daily
in its digital TV product line. The Guide Daily is a version of
Macrovision’s full-scale IPG, designed to help consumers navigate,
sort, select, and schedule television programming.
-
Onkyo’s next-generation IP audio video receiver (AVR) will use the
Macrovision Connected Platform to incorporate the capability to find,
acquire, manage and play back personal and premium digital audio media
content from a variety of devices and locations in the house.
Based on a continuing relationship with Sony, Macrovision will also
exhibit a newly released Sony Bravia® TV developed with My TV Guide, an
interactive program guide with personalization features and
recommendations. My TV Guide provides viewers with a media rich,
enjoyable experience for discovering TV programs that will ultimately
change the way that they view their TVs.
