SAN DIEGO, CA, December 4, 2014 — DivX, LLC, a leading provider of next-generation digital video solutions, will exhibit a number of solutions for the preparation, delivery, playback and sharing of high-quality multiscreen DivX® video up to 4K at the upcoming 2015 International CES Show, taking place January 6-9, 2015 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV. DivX (South Hall, booth #31650) will demonstrate how its solutions, including the DivX® OmniView™ suite of over-the-top (OTT) delivery products, and a new 4K video sharing offering, can help consumers maximize the benefits of consuming, distributing, and sharing video entertainment across multiple screens. DivX will also show how its advancements in HEVC, 4K and live streaming are making quantum leaps in video delivery and consumption in areas such as the cloud, OTT and multiscreen.
“DivX® consumers and customers alike are demanding better video quality. A crucial element to meeting these demands is the HEVC standard, with its improved compression rates and ability to deliver Blu-ray-like quality video. HEVC will be a key enabler driving 4K content delivery, over-the-top or through the cloud, to all screens,” said DivX President & CEO Kanaan Jemili, Ph.D.
“At CES, our DivX® OmniView™ suite of products will demonstrate how we’re making the efficiency and quality gains of the HEVC codec available to consumers by delivering high-quality video across multiple screens without compromising security or visual quality. CES is an invaluable opportunity for us to network with our customers and show them how our unique technologies continue to define video delivery across the Internet and multiple devices,” he added.
