SAN DIEGO & LAS VEGAS, Jan 08, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) — DivX, Inc. (NASDAQ:DIVX) announced today that the HP MediaSmart TV SLC3760N is the first digital television to receive full DivX Certification. Critically lauded for its quality and unique feature set, the DivX Certified HP MediaSmart TV is now available in the U.S.
Named a 2006 Electronic House magazine “Product of the Year,” the HP MediaSmart TV can stream high-definition DivX-encoded content over wired or wireless networks, from a home theater PC or from HP Media Vault network storage. The TV is designed to bring the full potential of digital content directly into the living room for the first time.

“The addition of DivX Certification to the HP MediaSmart TV unlocks an open ecosystem of digital media that can be seamlessly transferred from the PC to the living room while preserving the kind of high-quality, cinematic experience that home theater aficionados demand,” said Kevin Hell, CXO, Partners and Licensing, at DivX. “DivX is working to build a true common digital media language designed to offer true interoperability across converged devices and platforms, and innovative digital televisions like the HP MediaSmart TV are an important piece of that ecosystem.”

Products that bear the DivX Certified logo have undergone a rigorous testing program to ensure interoperability, security and visual quality. DivX Certified products enable consumers to create, play and share high-quality video content across a range of devices and platforms. Over 50 million DivX Certified devices from a variety of manufacturers have shipped worldwide.

“We are very pleased to have passed testing required to receive full DivX Certification,” said Jan-Luc Blakborn, Director of Digital Entertainment, Americas, HP. “This certification gives users confidence that high-definition video will remain crisp and clear while transferring across home networks to their HP MediaSmart TVs.”
