LAS VEGAS--(Business Wire)--CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), a leader in digital home solutions,
announced today that it will be featuring video technologies that are
setting new standards in consumer digital entertainment at CES this
year. Visitors to CyberLink's Las Vegas Hilton, Suite 2365 during CES
will see firsthand how CyberLink's High-definition Disc Solution,
TrueTheater(TM) Technology and Magic Technology heighten the home
theater experience by dramatically improving playback of audio and
video, and automating tasks such as video editing.
CyberLink's High-Definition Disc Solution, CyberLink PowerDVD(R)
Ultra, is a complete solution for DVDs as well as high-definition (HD)
Blu-ray Discs and HD DVDs that delivers exceptional quality for movie
playback and media creation. PowerDVD Ultra includes support for
next-generation disc features, like Picture-in-Picture movie mode,
networking, interactive BD-J and iHD, bookmarks, and advanced disc
navigation. It also delivers amazing audio quality with 7.1 home
theater audio, and high-definition Dolby(R) Digital Plus and DTS.
CyberLink's TrueTheater is a suite of advanced video and audio
technologies that ensure consistently high quality and a more
enjoyable movie experience on the PC. The complete suite of audio and
video playback enhancements includes:
-- TrueTheater Motion is a new technology that utilizes a
frame-rate conversion process to ensure smoother camera
movements and more fluid screen action. With the technology,
users can enjoy smooth video playback-- even during rapid
panning and zooming.
-- TrueTheater HD, which is also new, eliminates the jagged edges
of lower-resolution content that is played on high-resolution
displays and removes distracting video artifacts. With the
technology, As a result, standard-definition content that is
played on a high-resolution display appears to have the detail
of a higher-resolution image. This makes TrueTheater Detail
ideal for watching low-res video from webcams, mobile TV,
streamed video clips, etc. in full-screen sizes on large
displays.
-- TrueTheater Stretch (CLPV) is a non-linear stretching
technique that adjusts the viewing ratio of the displayed
video with minimal distortion. It stretches the video image on
the edges of the screen, leaving the center of the screen
unaffected. With TrueTheater Stretch, users are able to view
any movie they like with the aspect ratio optimally suited to
their display device--even if the original movie doesn't
support it.
-- TrueTheater Lighting (CLEV, CLEV-2) intelligently adjusts
video colors, contrast and brightness across movie scenes to
deliver improved detail and an enhanced viewing experience.
With the ability to balance overly dark and overexposed
scenes, TrueTheater Lighting is ideal for correcting the loss
of detail inherent with some LCD and CRT monitors. In addition
to automatic and manual settings, a choice of pre-set color
profiles is included to make adjustments even easier.
-- TrueTheater Surround (CLMEI(TM), CLHP(TM), CLVS(TM)) enables a
multi-channel speaker system (CLMEI) to deliver a surround
sound effect from only two speakers. It also converts
2-to-6-channel audio to create up to 8 channels of surround
sound. With support for multiple modes, users can optimize
their playback by matching their equipment with their source
content.
For consumers with headphones (CLHP(TM)) and stereo speakers
(CLVS(TM)), TrueTheater Surround can be used to simulate surround
sound when multi-channel audio is played via two speakers or
headphones. When used with headphones, it creates a wider sound image,
as if the sound is originating at a distance from the listener.
CyberLink Magic Technology speed up the editing process by
tackling the most time-consuming tasks and producing instant results.
With just a few clicks of the mouse, even a beginner can produce
videos and photo slideshows that look like they were created by a
professional.
-- Magic Fix automatically fixes blurry photos and turns shaky
videos into clearer, more stable videos. Users can also adjust
range parameters including horizontal, vertical, and angular
criteria.
-- Magic Style instantly creates themed movies from raw video
clips Users can choose from 12 themes with a diverse
combination of effects, screen frames, and clip lengths.
-- Magic Cut automatically keeps the best shots and removes the
rest Magic Cut combines pre-production and editing into one
easy action, enabling users to condense hours of uneventful
clips into an action-packed movie. It also synchronizes
background music with cut scenes
-- Magic Clean, lets users enhance clips by automatically
adjusting colors, brightness and contrast, and removing
unwanted audio noise.
-- Magic Motion dramatically transforms still images into an
animated slideshow with pan/scan and zooming effects. With the
tool, users have a choice of automatically or manually
applying motion effects according to image specifications.
-- Magic Music composes and synchronizes music according to video
duration and includes a full library of royalty-free tunes.
Background music for DVD menus is also supported.
