Description: | CyberLink today launched the latest in its DVD player software CyberLink PowerDVD 9, which is
offering DVD upscaling technology. PowerDVD 9 feature highlights include the new TrueTheater
Technology, which is offering DVD up-scaling to HD-like quality Cinema Mode for watching Blu-ray
Discs via Windows Media Center. It is a suite of advanced video and audio enhancement technologies
such as the TrueTheater HD that up-scales DVD video for HD-like results and the TrueTheater
Motion that up-converts DVD video frame rates for smoother playback. In additon, the TrueTheater
Stretch technology stretches video without image distortion, while the TrueTheater Lighting
enhances video image for a brighter, clearer movie. Last but not least, the TrueTheater Surround
creates multichannel audio output for conventional stereo speakers.
The Cinema Mode option displays menu items and movie information in a larger format for home
theater viewing on larger displays. Cinema Mode also integrates with Microsoft Windows Media Center
to provide Blu-ray Disc playback. FancyView enables a navigation experience with animated,
catalog-style browsing functionality. It is a fun way to browse through titles in a user?s Movie
Collection, as a way of previewing chapters on a DVD, and works in both Classic Mode and Cinema
Mode. FancyView can be used with touch screens, a remote control, keyboard, and mouse. The Movie
Collection feature has been updated to allow users to input and share information on Blu-ray Disc
titles as well as DVDs. All information can be synced and shared on www.moovielive.com. Users can
browse the titles in their Movie Collection using FancyView. As users roll over the titles they have
watched using PowerDVD, the Flash Back display will show scenes from the movie.
The software also supportsHDMI version 1.3, high-definition video standards Blu-ray Disc, AVCREC and
AVCHD, as well as high-definition audio formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio, delivering the
highest quality video playback on up to 7.1 channels of lossless audio. PowerDVD?s PC-friendly
support of DxVA also promises to offer efficient playback of high-definition movies even on low-spec
computer systems. CyberLink PowerDVD 9 is now available online and will be available in retail
stores beginning in April, supporting the following languages: English, French, German, Italian,
Spanish , Chinese Simplified and Traditional , Japanese, and Korean. CyberLink also offers OEM
