I-O Data Device Inc. obtains CyberLink DRM license to work in coordination with bundled CyberLink PowerProducer 3 CPRM for GV-MVP/RX3 TV Capture Card

Tokyo, Japan---- November 7, 2005 ----CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), a world leader and pioneer in providing integrated solutions for the Digital Home, announced today the licensing of CyberLink Digital Rights Management (DRM) to I-O Data Device, Inc., a top-tier manufacturer and provider of high-quality computer peripherals and interface products.

The development of CyberLink DRM is in response to the growing concern over digital piracy. Content providers, such as movie studios and recording artists, are increasing efforts in implementing DRM systems that secure distribution methods of copyrighted content. The CyberLink DRM ensures premium content captured from TV capture cards and stored on hard drives adhere to security measures established by TV broadcasters, thus serving the role of protecting the intellectual property rights of content providers.

Another integral DRM technology that works in partnership with CyberLink DRM is Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM), a protection scheme designed to prevent the unauthorized copying and distribution of content via portable storage media such as DVDs and flash media devices. By choosing to bundle CyberLink PowerProducer 3 CPRM version with its GV-MVP/RX3 TV Capture Card, I-O Data Device, Inc. ensures the secure management of premium content from the initial capturing phase to the final disc-burning phase. This distribution scheme highlights the necessity of multiple DRM technologies - CyberLink DRM and PowerProducer CPRM - working in conjunction to deliver extensive security for digital media circulated via networks or the Internet.

I-O Data Device, Inc.'s GV-MVP/RX3 TV capture card features the copy-once program (CGMS-A) that allows users to record content onto a hard drive once from an external digital tuner. After the content is stored on the hard drive, DVD authoring software CyberLink PowerProducer 3 CPRM - a special edition developed with I-O Data Device, Inc.- assumes the burning task with a CPRM-supported DVD-RW drive.

"With the increasing demand for content protection, I-O Data Device, Inc. chose to collaborate with CyberLink because of their in-depth knowledge of the digital home ecosystem," said Mitsukane Kato, Product Manager, Entertainment Unit, I-O Data Device, Inc. "Our GV-MVP/RX3 TV capture card users are in good steed when capturing secure TV broadcast transmissions and burning it to disc with CyberLink DRM and PowerProducer 3 CPRM technologies."

"In today's age of media content going digital, protecting intellectual property rights is paramount to advancing digital video technology and a very high priority for CyberLink," said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink Corp. "We understand the urgency of content providers in initiating standards to protect distribution of digital media. As a leading developer of burning and creation software, CyberLink is committed to expediting DRM standards for the protection of content owners' rights and the enjoyment of consumers. The CyberLink DRM was conceived to answer this demand."
