The Veatros technology, when integrated with the DivX Connected platform for enjoying network-based media in the living room, will provide users with a powerful, high-quality environment for managing and enjoying all their digital media through an easy-to-use interface.
As digital media comes of age, more consumers are demanding greater connectivity and better solutions for finding media, on the PC, in the living room, and on the go. DivX provides widespread access to content through a range of products and platforms, with over 100 million DivX Certified devices from major partners including DVD players, digital televisions, digital still cameras, portable media players and mobile phones, as well as through Internet distribution platforms.
"DivX is building a better media experience in partnership with the world's leading consumer electronics companies, and innovative search and discovery technology will be an important piece of that solution." said Kevin Hell, Acting Chief Executive Officer of DivX. "Veatros's assets will add powerful capabilities to our Connected platform that will allow consumers to more easily find and enjoy digital media content, and effortlessly add metadata such as cover art, director, and actors to all their video titles."
"Veatros benefited from incubating the technology with support from the Information and Telecommunication Technology Center," John Gauch, co-founder of Veatros and professor of electrical engineering and computer science (EECS), said. "We were able to focus on development and new applications for the inventions for several years while the market for our technologies developed. Now we are thrilled to work with DivX on a mature implementation."
