Macrovision to Deliver Innovative Guidance Solution to Support Service Providers with Tru2way™ Standard

Macrovision Solutions Corporation (NASDAQ:MVSN), a digital entertainment technology leader, announced today at The 2009 Cable Show the launch of its new Passport tru2way solution, a fully integrated interactive program guide (IPG) for tru2way enabled devices. The entertainment environment is increasing in complexity and consumers are seeking a way to make sense of it all. The Passport tru2way Java™ based IPG solution provides the cable market with an industry standard platform for advanced interactive video and content features in digital set-top boxes (STBs) and televisions, enabling a more simplified whole home entertainment experience for the end-consumer.

According to a SNL Kagan forecast, tru2way enabled subscribers will reach 60 percent of total digital subscribers by the end of 2012. This number will be reached in part by a 2008 pact by five of the largest MSOs in the country – serving a combined 105 million viewers, or roughly 80 percent of the market – guaranteeing 20 percent of boxes delivered to consumers would be tru2way enabled.

"Macrovision is committed to a standards-based approach to delivering its solutions. We believe tru2way technology will improve the consumer experience and enable service providers to innovate in a demanding market,” said Corey Ferengul, executive vice president of product management and marketing at Macrovision. "We are pleased to support the adoption of the tru2way standard with the latest addition to our Passport suite of solutions. Our technologies are designed to provide our customers with options as they build a more complete whole home experience for consumers.”

Using the Passport tru2way end-to-end platform, service providers will be able to implement a full-featured IPG integrated with a variety of OpenCable™ application platform (OCAP) STB vendors and stacks, giving MSOs the flexibility they need to deploy a compelling solution to their subscriber base. The solution is based on the Passport native platform, one of the richest IPG solutions on the market today, and carries forward the features and functions from Passport Echo available on the native Motorola and Scientific Atlanta platforms. These features include:

• An intuitive, feature-rich IPG with advanced functionality with parental controls, DVR, HD and VOD.
• True 16:9, high-def design that enables two-hour listings grids and improved design space for better navigation.
• Leading edge features, such as DVR Lost & Found and Series Manager, and seamless integration with interactive applications such as ShowRunner On Demand application; Harvest, a viewership data collection tool and iSubscribe, the ability to order cable services directly from the remote.
• New View Deck menu that provides quick access to key functions and advanced services such as On Demand, DVR and Search.

The Passport tru2way IPG will be demonstrated at The Cable Show at NCTA (Macrovision booth #1605) and is planned to be available in Q4 2009. Macrovision delivers the tru2way solution to both Passport and i-Guide platforms.
