Chipset manufacturing partners need the SDK and the Certification Kit to integrate DivX technology and test their device prior to submission of the IC reference platform for DivX certification.

If you are using a certified chipset component in your consumer electronics product, simply request a Certification Kit to verify correct implementation of DivX technology and that any modifications or user interface enhancements conform to the DivX Certification Programs standard.

DivX Software Development Kits (SDKs)

DivX Decoder and Recorder SDK Overview

DivX Certified decoders support all versions of DivX (3.11, 4.xx, 5.xx, and 6.xx), including special features enabled by DivX. These special features include interlaced video, multi-language subtitles and audio tracks. The newest innovation enabled by DivX technology is interactive menu support. This is the primary feature enabled in DivX Ultra Certified consumer electronics devices.

DivX provides the following development tools necessary for partners to develop DivX certified products:

Sample source code
Functional specifications
Application notes
User guides
Sample test clips

The DivX Consumer Electronics (CE) SDK for recorders contains the tools necessary for a partner to develop real-time recorders equipped with the latest DivX encoding technology, advancements in motion estimation (4MV), rate control and AVI multiplexing. The DivX SDK contains all the development materials, documentation and source codes intended for the accelerated development of DivX Certified recorders, providing playback interoperability with DivX Certified decoder devices. This is designed to deliver highly optimized, crystal-clear video and subjective quality metrics conforming to DivX certification standards.

Both SDKs described above provide the information needed to certify your devices based on the specifications of these individual usage profiles.
