OPPO Digital Releases Cutting-Edge Line of DivX Certified DVD Devices
OPPO Digital DV-970HD Lets DivX Users Play Back High Quality DivX Video on HDTV’s
August 22, 2006–MOUNTAIN VIEW and SAN DIEGO, CA –OPPO Digital, Inc., (www.oppodigital.com), an innovative consumer electronics manufacturer, and DivX, Inc., the digital entertainment company that created the DivX media format, today announced the official DivX Certification of the OPPO Digital DV-970HD Universal DVD Player with HDMI.
The DV-970HD has received an abundance of positive reviews and enthusiastic support from the home theater community for its outstanding visual excellence and ability to playback various media and video file types, including the popular DivX media format. Additionally, the DV-970HD utilizes revolutionary technology to up-convert videos to high definition resolutions from standard definition for HD compatibility.
With over 180 million software products downloaded worldwide, DivX is one of the most desirable compression formats available today for digital media. DivX requires only a fraction of the data required by a standard-length DVD while retaining extremely high quality and the ability to playback Dolby encoded audio. DivX is ideal for secure playback on PCs, as well as major consumer electronics such as the OPPO DV-970HD.
“This innovative OPPO Digital DVD player combined with DivX technology enables millions of HDTV owners to watch content from a wide variety of sources at a high level of visual quality,” said Kevin Hell, CXO, Partners and Licensing at DivX, Inc. “We are excited to partner with OPPO Digital as one of the manufacturers to bring this solution to home theaters around the world.”
