Transforms the PC into CE Appliance PowerCinema Now Supports Windows XP Embedded

Taipei, Taiwan----Jan. 5th, 2004----CyberLink Corp., a leading developer of digital video/audio solutions, announced today that PowerCinema now operates in conjunction with Windows XP Embedded, giving consumer device makers the means to quickly develop extremely feature-rich products to market.

PowerCinema is an all-in-one media solution that adds value to products by providing integrated functionality for watching movies, viewing photo slideshows, ripping and managing music and controlling digital video. Time-shifting and scheduled TV and radio recording will soon be available.

Windows XP Embedded is a flexible platform allowing consumer electronics device makers to create customized devices based on Windows XP Embedded. Windows XP Embedded reduces entry barriers for by using mature PC hardware and software components , while delivering shorter booting and resuming times for end users.

By combining the all-in-one solution of CyberLink PowerCinema and Windows XP Embedded, hardware makers can reduce product development times in launching the next generation of digital media center devices. End-customers benefit by being able to boot their devices quickly and by operating them from an easy-to-use PowerCinema interface instead of a full-blown OS interface. Device makers can thus develop products suited to the relaxed atmosphere of the living room, giving users more time to enjoy their audio-video applications and less time to learn how to operate them..

"A lot of people worry about using their TVs and VCRs. With the simplicity of our PowerCinema interface, watching and recording movies, browsing photos, and listening to music, is really easy, and available from the one location," said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink. "By offering compatibility with Windows XP Embedded we are making it easier for digital media center device manufactures to integrate convenient media-handling features into their products, as well as expedite their launch to market."
