DivX Announces Sony BRAVIA Series Now Certified for DivX Playback
DivX, Inc., a leading digital media company, today announced the first line of DivX Certified® HDTVs from Sony. The new Sony's flagship BRAVIA® LCD HDTV series enhances consumers' viewing experience with support for high-quality DivX® video.
Available now in Europe and other regions, these already feature-rich BRAVIA EX, BX3/BX4, HX, and NX5 series TVs will be capable of playing back digital video and Hollywood movies in the high-quality DivX format. BRAVIA provides full high definition TV widescreen experience and a variety of line-ups to choose from including stylish TV designs, innovative LCD TV picture technology, ultra slim televisions or the latest Full HD and HD Ready digital TVs.
DivX technology allows digital videos to be compressed to a fraction of their original size while maintaining excellent visual quality. For example, eight full-length standard definition movies in the DivX format can fit on an 8GB USB drive. With the DivX format, full-length movies can be quickly downloaded from the Internet and played on DivX Certified Sony TVs, as well as other consumer electronics devices.
"DivX is clearly a de-facto standard for high quality playback of video content from the Internet in the living room." said Hiroshi Sakamoto, VP of TV Marketing SONY Europe. "I am pleased to announce that our new BRAVIA® line up can now playback DivX Videos so that you can enjoy them via USB on the big screen."
"We are pleased to continue our partnership with Sony to deliver a true cinematic experience to consumers as they watch digital videos and movies on their new BRAVIA TVs," said Kevin Hell, Chief Executive Officer at DivX. "Through the addition of outstanding products such as the Sony BRAVIA product line, we are expanding the DivX ecosystem and adding value for our partners and consumers worldwide."
Products that bear the DivX Certified logo have undergone a rigorous testing program to ensure a high-quality DivX media experience, including reliable video creation and playback, interoperability with other DivX Certified devices and the visual high-quality users expect from DivX.
