LG Electronics Announces U.S. Availability Of First 84-inch Class 'Ultra-Definition' TV

LG's Display Boasts Four Times the Pixel Resolution Of Full HD, Sets New Picture Quality Standard for Large-Screen TVs

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics today announced U.S. availability for its enormous 84-inch (84.04 inch diagonal) LED display, boasting a native "ultra definition" (UD) screen resolution of 3840 x 2160 to match its impressive size*.

The gigantic 84-inch screen quadruples the level of detail from full 1080p HD resolution to a massive 8 million pixels. Even before so-called "4K" content is available, LG's proprietary Resolution Upscaler Plus delivers higher detail from current HD/SD external sources. A major step forward for the display industry, ultra-definition TV makes use of the screen real estate available with today's largest-size flat panels, much like the jump from 720p to 1080p years ago. The LG UD 84LM9600 is expected to be available in October at an MSRP of $19,999.99.

Gary Yacoubian, chairman of the Consumer Electronics Association's 4K Working Group and president and CEO, Specialty Technologies/SVSound, said, "I couldn't be more excited about ultra-definition 4K technology and its potential to energize our entire industry; 4K is the next big thing in television, literally. First there was analog, then digital - standard-definition, then high-definition (HDTV). Now, with four times the pixel resolution of today's HDTVs, ultra-HD technology promises to transform the home entertainment experience on giant displays, truly recreating the movie theater in your living room." 

"Ultra-definition television will transform the giant-screen viewing experience in the years ahead, and LG is proud to bring this new technology to market so that discerning U.S. consumers can enjoy a fully immersive home theater experience," said Jay Vandenbree, senior vice president, home entertainment, LG Electronics USA, Inc. "Beyond just the ability to produce gigantic screens, it's important that LG offers its consumers a feature-rich TV packed with Smart TV, 3D capability, a 2.2 channel built-in speaker system and the remarkable detail of 4K. The 84LM9600 epitomizes LG's design and innovation prowess."

Under the Hood

Beyond the 84-inch screen, this model features LG's CINEMA 3D technology, which provides a comfortable 3D viewing experience similar to what consumers experience in the theater. LG CINEMA 3D utilizes polarized technology, with lightweight, inexpensive and shutter free glasses (six included in the box). For ultimate comfort, consumers can customize the 3D effect to their preference with 3D Depth Control.

Also included is LG Smart TV, which offers users access to thousands of proprietary apps, premium content services including Netflix, Hulu Plus and more**. LG Smart TV features LG's "3D World," where users can access blockbuster 3D content. Users can easily browse and navigate through the Smart TV ecosystem using LG's four-mode Magic Remote, which acts as an air mouse with point and click, gesture commands, a scroll wheel and voice recognition. LG's proprietary dual-core L9 processor chipset offers ultra-fast processing speeds for shorter load and lag time when streaming content.

LG's new UD 3D TV includes a wealth of connectivity options to make access to content even easier. In addition to built-in Wi-Fi, it supports Intel's Wireless Display (WiDi) technology, which enables easy and quick connectivity between TVs and PCs without the need for cables or Internet access. With Smart Share Plus, users can access content stored on external devices such as PCs, tablets and smartphones through a portal on the TV. This model supports the Mobile High-definition Link (MHL) standard, for easy content sharing between the TV and mobile devices and the ability to charge devices via the connection. Finally, the 84LM9600 includes a portal to the LG Cloud, so consumers can access their personal content, such as pictures, home video and music libraries uploaded to the LG Cloud. 

*No "ultra definition" or "4K" content is currently available.  No broadcast or other standard currently exists for "4K" or "ultra definition" television, and the 84LM9800 may or may not be compatible with such standards if and when developed.

**Internet connection and certain subscriptions required and sold separately. Content and services vary by product and are subject to change without notice.

For a small percentage of the population, the viewing of stereoscopic 3D video may cause discomfort such as dizziness or nausea. If you experience any of these symptoms, discontinue using the 3D functionality and contact your health care provider.

Designs, features and specifications subject to change without notice. LG LED TVs are LCD TVs with LED backlighting.

Group Gift Service Enables Merchants to Offer Social Commerce on Facebook

Leading merchants leverage Facebook for industry's first group-buying software-as-a-service solution

CHICAGO, Sept. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Group Gift Service (GGS) announces the launch of a new business-to-business service that lets merchants launch branded group-commerce applications on Facebook. 

Merchants working with Group Gift Service, including Kaplan, KingsIsle, Knowledge Adventure, PBSKIDSPlay, Encyclopedia Britannica and Marbles the Brain Store have seamlessly integrated Group Gifts into their existing web and Facebook Pages.  GGS' personalization package lets merchants control the look and feel of their group-gift pages, customize branded messages and develop specific offers and promotions.

GGS manages the backend, which includes screen and collaboration flows, provisioning a custom Facebook application, integrating with Facebook's Open Graph, sending branded reminder messages to individuals participating in group-gift campaigns, tracking each gift's trajectory toward completion and processing all group gift purchases through a safe, PCI-compliant system that adheres to the strictest security standards.

For people worldwide who have been "group gifting" on an ad-hoc basis for centuries, the GGS solution simplifies communication and money collection.  For online retailers and service providers who consistently hope to leverage and further monetize their investments in ecommerce platforms, Group Gift Service provides new ways to personalize communication, expand consumer reach, augment their consumer databases and increase the average amount spent per purchase.

"Merchants have lacked an easy way to capitalize on a proven consumer purchasing behavior," commented Ed Lewis, CEO of Group Gift Service.  "Group Gift Service was specifically developed to fully integrate into a merchant's e-commerce systems, providing an expeditious way for them to not only extend their offerings, but also maximize their investments in Facebook Pages and Ads.  Group Gift Service allows them to offer new group-gifting functionality while avoiding the time and costs of hiring Facebook application developers."

Initial beta testing for Group Gift Service's turnkey solution confirms that the amount groups spend consistently exceeds what would be spent if each individual purchased separately.  In addition, merchants now have a meaningful, results-oriented way to initiate viral marketing activities and tap into the social graph that underlies and connects 900 million Facebook users worldwide.   People invited to participate in a group gift can extend invitations to others, thereby enlarging both the group and the merchant's influence and impact.

In addition to walking consumers through the selection/invitation process, GGS sends branded reminder messages to invitees at regular intervals; provides tracking mechanisms so the group can chart progress and determine who has contributed/who still needs to; and helps the group determine what to do in the event the gift has been over- or under-funded.  GGS also provides online and toll-free telephone support on behalf of the merchant.

Group Gift Service is an angel-backed company started by technology veterans dedicated to leveraging the power of social networks and the social graph to enhance business performance and revenue generation.  For more information, please visit http://www.groupgiftservice.com

Marvell and ZeroDesktop Team Up to Deliver Cost Effective Cloud Computing with New Virtual Web Desktop Platform

Latest collaborations include best-in-class technology to deliver a web-based alternative to today's expensive PC infrastructure in education systems, businesses and consumers' homes

AMSTERDAM and SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell (Nasdaq: MRVL) and ZeroDesktop, a developer of next-generation personal cloud operating system solutions for public cloud and private cloud computing, today announced they are collaborating to deliver a cost-effective alternative to traditional PC-based computing. Demonstrations of the new virtual web desktop technology will be showcased at IBC 2012, Marvell booth #BM3, from September 7-11 in Amsterdam.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100719/SF36559LOGO-b)

The new innovative platform is an instant virtual web desktop designed to provide a unique, productive and rich multimedia experience for multiple users through a single device. The ZeroDesktop Cloud OS infrastructure can provide access to thousands of users from a single server, eliminating the need for investment in multiple PCs and expensive PC maintenance and infrastructure. The solution is intended for education systems, small businesses and consumers who are seeking to regain control of scattered digital content that is increasingly dispersed across local computers, social sites, portable storage devices and external storage services.

Powered by the Marvell ARMADA® 1500 family of HD media system-on-chips (SoCs), the virtual desktop platform integrates ZeroDesktop's ZeroPC cloud computing services to provide a seamless all-in-one content management hub for organizing, accessing, managing and sharing digital content locally, regardless of where it is stored. Its cloud content management user interface is designed to provide a familiar PC desktop experience, empowering users to unify all of their digital content into one secure repository, bridging the gap between the Internet and PCs while also providing new opportunities for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and service providers to deliver turnkey cloud services to their end-users.

"For Marvell, collaborating with ZeroDesktop is an opportunity to further our mission of providing sensible all-in-one solutions for schools, businesses and consumers that are facing a common dilemma about what to do with the increasing number of slow, outdated, or virus-plagued computers that outfit their facilities or homes," said Gaurav Shah, general manager of Marvell's Digital Entertainment Business Unit, Communications and Consumer Business Group at Marvell Semiconductor, Inc "The combination of multiple devices and operating systems that cannot perform effectively with streaming media or other Internet applications, plus shrinking budgets, have led to countless hours repairing and troubleshooting problems in these old computers. This new platform provides an attractive alternative by using a cost-effective, light server footprint that works with all types of media content and delivers a viable path to rapid deployment of virtual desktops in today's challenging economic environment." 

Marvell's ARMADA 1500 family of processors runs up to 1.2 GHz and is dual-core ARM v7 compatible. Marvell's SoC touts Vivante GC1000 GPCPU supporting desktop level 3D graphics, VMeta(TM) multimedia decoder support for all popular multimedia container file formats, award-winning Qdeo® video technology enabling an immersive full HD experience, and programmable audio DSP ZSP800 support for audio post processing. The solution also includes rich and scalable I/O for optimal connectivity.

"It's been our vision to team with a company such as Marvell to extend ZeroPC's use as a cost-effective alternative to purchasing and maintaining multiple computers, and wrestling with the cost of maintaining expensive modern-day PC and server  infrastructure," said Young Song, CEO of ZeroDesktop. "Coupled with the best of Marvell's hardware and engineering, ZeroDesktop's pure Web technology solution significantly reduces storage, server and bandwidth requirements while enabling thousands of users to access their content and enjoy a unique computing experience."

Motorola Presents the Future of the IP Connected Home at IBC2012

New Medios Multi-Screen Software, Set-Top Devices, IP Network Technology, and HEVC Advanced Video Compression On-Display -- Hall 1, Stand D31

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- IBC 2012 - For nearly 70 years, Motorola Mobility has pioneered the future of the connected home - from digital TV to the first wireless cable modem to modern home automation services. At IBC2012, that tradition continues by combining today's consumer insights with smarter technology to prepare service providers for tomorrow's IP connected home.

"We've been ahead of the curve with many 'world's firsts' in the digital home," said Steve McCaffrey, EMEA General Manager, Motorola Mobility Home. "As the market continues to evolve and consumers adopt new ways of consuming content, we're stepping up once more to lead the next digital revolution. At IBC2012, we're showcasing the technology that will drive the future of TV and the smart, simple connected home."

New Set-Top Technology
Motorola is launching new IP and cable set-top technology designed to meet consumer demand for multi-screen, over-the-top (OTT) and time shift TV, while reducing energy use and maintenance.

The new IPTV set-tops build on the global success of the KreaTV application platform, an open system that ensures flexibility in deployment as well as smooth systems integration. Each supports high-quality IPTV services such as HD broadcast, time shift, on-demand, OTT, and interactive applications.

In addition, new Microsoft® Mediaroom®supported set-tops offer better choice, and energy efficiency with new SoC (System on a Chip). Elsewhere on the Motorola Stand (Hall 1, D31), cable operators can expect to see new hybrid and HD set-tops that offer DVR capabilities and increased choice for the cost-conscious.

Motorola is also showcasing how the set-top is evolving... getting smarter and more connected, as the number of connected devices is predicted to increase to +24 billion by 2020. Motorola's video gateways mark the set-top's evolution into the Entertainment Hub of the Living Room - morphing into the center of the IP connected home and connecting the consumer's content universe. The future of the set-top is just one example of how Motorola is driving the evolution of TV and a smart, simple connected home through innovative hardware and software technologies.

Others include:

HEVC - The New Video Standard

Motorola Mobility will be demonstrating the revolutionary HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) video compression technology, which will transform the viewing experience across multiple platforms. For providers looking to stake a claim in the True Entertainment Everywhere landscape, HEVC represents a major breakthrough in the way video delivery can be managed and improved. Motorola Mobility's advanced scientists and engineers are leveraging HEVC to develop a standards-based wireless and multi-screen solution for a diverse base of service providers worldwide.

Motorola Mobility showcased the first HEVC demonstration to global service providers in May 2012.

HEVC video compression technology reduces bandwidth by 50 percent in comparison to MPEG4 AVC/H.264 - while still delivering similar video quality. HEVC provides stunning video resolution in the home and makes HD video over wireless links (Wi-Fi or cellular) much more practical and attainable for service providers. Additionally, HEVC can be a significant factor in dramatically reducing storage costs for in-home and networked DVRs.

This revolutionary compression technology was jointly developed by ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG). Motorola's HEVC demonstration builds on its heritage of network innovations and the importance of video compression in driving the evolution of TV. Motorola is part of the committee that developed the HEVC standard, and has been an active contributing member of MPEG2 (1993) and MPEG4 (2003) standards.

Visit Hall 1, Stand D31 to see a powerful side-by-side comparison of HEVC and MPEG4 AVC/H.264.

Teleste Brings Easy Access to OTT for Cable Operators

IBC, AMSTERDAM, September 7, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    Teleste's New Ubique Enables Cable Operators to Deliver and Manage DVB, IPTV and OTT
Services with Single Solution

    Teleste, an international technology group specialized in broadband video and data
communication systems and services, has introduced the first complete OTT solution for
cable operators. The new Teleste Ubique includes everything cable operators need to bring
TV Everywhere services to their customers. Ubique reduces the time needed to integrate OTT
to a cable operator's offering from 12-18 months to even two months. At IBC, Teleste also
announced a fully customizable iPad application and several extensions to its Luminato
headend platform.

    "Integrating OTT services to a cable operator's offering has so far been very
expensive and time-consuming because operators have had to build their OTT services from
the ground up. Typical projects have lasted 12-18 months and cost millions of Euros.
Teleste Ubique changes this and enables operators of all sizes to start their own OTT
services in just two months and at a fraction of the cost," said Teleste's SVP, Video and
Broadband Solutions, Hanno Narjus.

    Teleste Ubique is a complete multi-screen solution for managing and distributing TV
channels and interactive services on DVB, IPTV and OTT networks. Teleste Ubique includes
everything needed to set up an OTT service - headends, transcoders, a management system
and a content protection system. Teleste Ubique enables multi-screen delivery to set-top
boxes, iPads and web browsers, turning a traditional TV to a modern entertainment center
and bringing traditional TV channels to iPads.

    Ubique enables operators to manage DVB, IPTV and OTT services at the same time. The
solution handles live TV channels, EPG program guides and interactive services such as
Catch-up, VOD and Network PVR from the same system. Teleste Ubique also features content
encryption, which enables operators to manage content protection (DVB, IPTV, HLS,
PlayReady) to all devices centrally. Operators can also manage multiscreen delivery from
the same system. With Teleste Ubique, operators can deliver their services to multiple
types of device such as TVs, computers, tablets and smartphones easily and
cost-effectively. The Ubique solution consists of:

   
    - Teleste Luminato, the industry's most versatile Cable TV / IPTV Headend
    - Teleste Broadcast manager for managing DVB and IPTV channels
    - Teleste OnDemand manager for managing interactive services such as Catch-up,
      PVR and VOD
    - Teleste Ubique IPTV / OTT middleware
    - Teleste Optimo transcoder, which transcodes and optimizes delivery to
      different screens
    - Verimatrix VCAS and CSM encryption
    - Edgeware Recorder and Content Delivery Network

    Teleste Ubique also features customizable user interfaces for iPads, set-top boxes and
web browsers which enable multi-screen delivery easily and cost effectively. Teleste's new
iPad application enables operators to bring their TV services to iPads easily. The
application utilizes content encryption and it is delivered with source code, which
enables operators to easily tailor the application to fit their brand and portfolio,
without having to build the applications themselves. Teleste's iPad application resembles
iPad's own user interface, giving consumers a familiar and intuitive user interface.

    Graphical User Interface to Luminato

    Teleste announced new extensions to the Luminato head-end platform.

    New graphical user interface for Luminato. Luminato's user interface is now fully
graphical and it makes the management of Luminato effortless, almost as easy as consumer
devices. The new management interface provides network administrators with an easily
understandable view of their network. Everything is visible in a single graphical view and
administrators can get more information when they need through an advanced view. The new
management interface presents the entire flow in a single screen and shows which inputs
are connected to which output streams. Adding new services is very easy with drag-and-drop
functionality. This eliminates a lot of the manual configuration work; administrators
don't need to write, remember and manually enter multicast addresses. The new user
interface includes several innovative features such as the ability to add notes to
individual devices and ports. This is very useful for example for Multicast addresses.

    About Teleste

broadband video and data communication systems and services. The group is active in two
business segments, Video and Broadband Solutions and Network Services; in both fields, we

Denmark's TV2 Transforms its Satellite Newsgathering Capabilities With Eutelsat's NewsSpotter Service

AMSTERDAM, September 7, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    Danish broadcaster TV2 is diversifying its satellite newsgathering capabilities with
Eutelsat's innovative NewsSpotter service. The service was successfully used by TV2 for
live reporting of recent key events in France and the UK, and the Danish broadcaster now
plans to continue to integrate it into its outside broadcasting infrastructure. TV2
currently operates two NewsSpotter Fly-Away systems with a third to be shortly delivered.

    TV2 was in Paris to cover both rounds of the French presidential elections using a
3-camera production team and the NewsSpotter service to transmit live images from a
rooftop. "The NewsSpotter service, with its IP satellite connection and booking system,
made a huge difference to what location we could broadcast from and the speed of
connection back to studios in Denmark," explained Morten Brandstrup, Head of News
Technology for TV2 Denmark. "We would normally need a fibre connection which can be
difficult to find, expensive to run and limits locations. NewsSpotter increased our
options, enabling us to focus on getting the best pictures to tell the story, rather than
being tied to a location connected to fibre."

    The TV2 news team also rented a small car in Paris and mounted the NewsSpotter antenna
onto the vehicle, parking it alongside regular satellite communication trucks. "It wasn't
long before engineers came out to see what we were doing. They couldn't believe that it
could be so simple to broadcast. NewsSpotter is like having cable ADSL in your pocket."

    TV2 set up three live broadcast locations in London to cover the four days of Diamond
Jubilee celebrations. NewsSpotter was used at two locations. Equipment was easily
transported across London in a regular black taxi and despite heavy cloud cover there were
no problems with the quality of the images transmitted with the 6Mbps connection.

    Compact enough to be carried in a back-pack for Fly-Away use and small enough to be
fitted onto a small car for rooftop mounting, NewsSpotter can instantly connect mobile
news crews to studios for transmission of live recordings, images and data.

    Providing native IP connectivity, NewsSpotter is integrated for the workflows of
modern newsgathering operations and is available across the footprint of Eutelsat's
KA-SAT's satellite that covers Europe, North Africa and large parts of the Middle East.
The service is designed to transmit High Definition and/or Standard Definition live video
at transmission speeds of up to 20Mbps.

    Offering a fast link from scene to screen, the NewsSpotter satellite dish and terminal
can be set up in two minutes, including deployment, auto pointing, and connection.
Bandwidth can be reserved online by news crews, using a self-booking application or
pre-booked for planned use and guaranteed reservations. Users simply log-on to the
operating portal and enter their user terminal number, location, time slots and bit rate
required on return and forward links.

    "NewsSpotter is going to change the way news is gathered and broadcast across Europe,"
said Morten Brandstrup. "It is the right technology for the right time in the broadcasting
industry because it is small, mobile, very cost effective to operate and easy to use. Our
news production crews are really happy using it."

    Moving forward, TV2 is making a firm commitment to use NewsSpotter for future events
or whenever a mobile studio is required in complement to other broadband technologies such
as 4G and ADSL. Morten Brandstrup concludes, "The key thing to recognise about NewsSpotter
is the quality of transmission is as high as having a fibre connection - yet you get the
mobility - and because it's fully IP-based, NewsSpotter integrates directly into digital
end-to-end workflows which speed up the news capture and production process."

    NewsSpotter user terminals have been developed by multiple manufacturers in three
versions: Fly-Away, Vehicular Compact and Vehicular Rugged. Flyaway terminals require
manual pointing and come in the form of backpack or flight case configuration, weighing in
the range of 5 to 10 kg, with dish sizes in the range of 60 to 75cm. The Vehicle Compact
terminal has motorised and autopoint capability and is available with dish sizes from 75
to 90cm. Rugged Vehicle mounted terminals are available with dish sizes from 75 to 120 cm.

Digital Rapids Announces Upcoming Support for MPEG-DASH Specification

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- IBC 2012, Stand 7.F33 -- Digital Rapids - the trusted provider of innovative media transformation and workflow solutions for bringing content to wider audiences - today announced plans to support the MPEG-DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) specification in upcoming new offerings in the company's comprehensive range of media transformation and workflow solutions.

"We're pleased to be incorporating MPEG-DASH support into our upcoming, new solutions."

Digital Rapids' MPEG-DASH encoding capabilities will include support for Dolby(®) Digital Plus and DTS-HD(® )audio technologies within the MPEG-DASH specification, enabling content providers to pair high-quality audio with superior video experiences across a broad range of viewing devices. Digital Rapids Transcode Manager 2.0's MPEG-DASH encoding capabilities are also being featured at the IBC exhibition in the Dolby stand (2.A31) and in the DTS stand (2.B50) where an end-to-end demonstration will highlight adaptive streaming of MPEG-DASH content with DTS Express audio to a connected tablet.

Digital Rapids is a member of the DASH Industry Forum, a collection of over 50 industry leading companies supporting and promoting the MPEG-DASH specification.

The enterprise-class Digital Rapids Transcode Manager software combines outstanding quality, intelligent automation and exceptional workflow agility for high-volume transcoding applications from production and archive to revenue-expanding multi-screen distribution.

Digital Rapids Announces Extensive Industry Support and New Partnerships for Kayak Workflow Platform

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- IBC 2012, Stand 7.F33 -- Digital Rapids - the trusted provider of innovative media transformation and workflow solutions for bringing content to wider audiences - today announced accelerating industry support for the company's ground-breaking new Kayak(TM) dynamic workflow platform, with the addition of over 20 new companies to the Kayak ecosystem since the platform's public debut earlier this year.

The new alliances range from technology and solutions providers to systems integration specialists. Third-party companies with offerings spanning all critical workflow functions - from codec technologies to tools for quality control, audio loudness management, digital rights management and more - are integrating their technologies directly into the Kayak platform. Meanwhile, systems integration partners stand ready to work with media organizations to deploy Kayak-powered workflows within their operations, including the development of custom Kayak components for proprietary functionality.

These companies join over 35 additional industry leaders in Digital Rapids' partner and alliance programs.

A number of these partners are showcasing or announcing Kayak-based components and solutions at the IBC exhibition in Amsterdam, including:

    --  Digimetrics' Eos Audio Normalizer corrects, in a single pass, audio to
        ATSC A/85, EBU R128 and ARIB TR-B32 specifications for regulatory
        compliance. Digimetrics is also developing a Kayak component based on
        their Aurora quality control solution.
    --  Interra Systems' Baton enterprise-class quality control solution
        verifies file-based content passing through various steps of Kayak
        workflows for conformance to format standards, regulatory compliance and
        a wide variety of video and audio quality checks.
    --  Multiple MPEG-related solutions from Manzanita Systems, including an
        array of multiplexers - for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), the recently
        released MPEG-DASH specification, MPEG transport streams and program
        streams - and the CrossCheck(TM) automated transport stream analyzer.
    --  PixelTools MPEG Encoder, providing high-quality MPEG-2 encoding for

A significant departure from other workflow technology approaches, Kayak enables media organizations to design, deploy and manage customized workflows that empower their businesses with the operational efficiency, agility and insight they need to thrive in the expanding multi-screen media landscape. Kayak's component-based architecture and rich, open ecosystem provide customers with unparalleled ease in integrating new technologies in response to market trends or new opportunities, while its intelligent automation and dynamic deployment model maximize processing efficiency, optimize resource utilization, minimize management effort and reduce costs.

Kayak is available as a comprehensive workflow design and development platform for systems integrators, software developers and customers, and 'under-the hood' of Digital Rapids' newest solutions for end-user applications, including version 2.0 of the Digital Rapids Transcode Manager(®) high-volume media processing software and the StreamZ Live Broadcast(TM) integrated broadcast/multi-screen live encoder.

"We're thrilled with the tremendous response from our solution partners and their excitement about leveraging Kayak to integrate their technologies into leading-edge workflows and to extend their market reach," said Onkar Parmar, Senior Partnership Manager for Kayak at Digital Rapids. "The richness of the Kayak partner ecosystem is one of the platform's key strengths, combining with its unique architecture to let our mutual customers quickly integrate new technologies into their operations while 'mixing and matching' partner solutions to create the optimal workflows for their needs."

"We share our customers' excitement about the Kayak platform, and look forward to further deepening our involvement in the Kayak ecosystem."

"We're excited to be working closely with Digital Rapids to integrate our advanced audio technologies into the Kayak platform," said Ronny Katz, Sr. Director, Digital Media at DTS. "The customer response to the joint UltraViolet and MPEG-DASH demonstrations we've conducted has been phenomenal. The combination of Kayak and our audio solutions provides a powerful, future-proof platform for our mutual customers as their needs continue to evolve to encompass new standards, devices and market trends."

"Manzanita Systems is enthusiastic to bring our family of MPEG software solutions to the Kayak platform," said Greg Vines, President of Manzanita Systems. "We look forward to the benefits the flexible ecosystem will bring to customers' media processing workflows and are eager to expand our contributions to the component library in the future."

"We're pleased that we can now make PixelTools' high-quality MPEG tools available to Digital Rapids customers for use in their advanced media processing workflows through the flexible and easily customizable Kayak platform," commented Mark Conover, CTO at PixelTools.

Sex and Games - Here We Go! Kingdom Crafting Reveals a "Game Changer": Save the World or Not (R)

SINGAPORE, Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Are you an adult and also feel that most computer games are... not particularly appealing? We have little time for long gaming marathons, and are also not usually in a wild puberty rage craving for insane levels of uber-violence.

Imagine instead... a cool and relaxed game setting. Mature themes, lavish lifestyle, hot girls and, yes, sex please! Enjoying an epic adventure story on a quest to save the world! And a game where one can make already good progress in a brief game session! Welcome to Save the World or Not®, a new kind of online PC game unveiled today!

A major focus for the game developers is to make the game approachable and accessible even for people who don't usually play games. To realize a familiar TV/movie-like visual experience, the developers have come up with new "Intelligent Dynamic Video" technology: Live-action HD video - that intelligently and continuously changes depending on the player and his actions - is seamlessly integrated with gameplay.

Feel free to follow the links to get an impression:

"Sex?" replies Alexander Nareyek, studio head of the company Kingdom Crafting that produces the game, "Sure, the game includes explicit sex, and a quite healthy dose of it. If you look at the uneasy way that most media outlets deal with sex, it may seem hard to believe, but let me tell you an earth-shattering secret: Nearly everyone on this planet loves and enjoys sex! And if you exchange awkward-looking 3d graphics with a high-quality HD video engine, sex is great game content."

After three years of development in secrecy, the game is now revealed to the public. Pre-orders are made available from this very second and come with an exclusive set of free specials that are available only for a limited time. For more information and pre-orders, head over to the game's website: http://www.savetheworldornot.com
