CyberLink Decoder Pack Enables Accelerated High-Definition H.264 Video Playback with ATI Radeon® X1000 Series GPUs with Avivo™ Technologies



Las Vegas, NV ----Jan. 6th, 2006----CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), a world leader and pioneer in providing integrated solutions for the Digital Home, has developed a decoder for ATI Technologies Inc. (TSX:ATY)(NASDAQ:ATYT) to provide hardware accelerated high-definition H.264 video playback on ATI's RadeonR X1000 series graphics processors with ATI Avivo™ technologies.

Owners of ATI's Radeon X1000 series now benefit from hardware assisted high-definition H.264 movies with CyberLink's new MPEG-4 AVC decoder pack for PowerDVD. GPU assisted playback with CyberLink's decoder results in decreased CPU usage enabling better H.264 results on PCs with lower processor power.

"Our close cooperation with ATI ensures that CyberLink PowerDVD's users are able to benefit from the hardware assisted decoding abilities of their latest graphic cards," said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink Corp. "CyberLink's MPEG-4 AVC pack for PowerDVD is an ideal way for our customers to quickly deliver H.264 DxVA based decoder solutions to their end users."

"The new Catalyst 5.13 driver for our Radeon X1000 series and CyberLink's H.264 DxVA Decoder provides users with Avivo™ H.264 high-definition video technology," said Godfrey Cheng, director of multimedia marketing at ATI Technologies. "We are pleased to work with Cyberlink to provide our customers with the best video experience available on the PC."
