DivX, Inc. and LG Electronics, Inc., a leader in consumer electronics and mobile communications, today announced the launch of two additional models in the DivX Certified(R) Time Machine TV Series specifically targeted for South America. The two new models of LG’s DivX Certified Time Machine TV Series join millions of DivX Certified devices on the market today that play back high-quality DivX(R) video content.
The two additional models, the 42LB9RT and 32LB9RT, are LCD offerings that deliver high image and audio quality for digital content using much less bandwidth than regular analog devices. These devices boast a simultaneous watch-and-record function and the ability to transfer high-quality DivX(R) content directly to the TV through the USB port. Maintaining the exceptional standards of the Time Machine TV Series, these models include a built-in 80 gigabyte hard disc drive for Time Shift function and recording as well as a USB 2.0 port, for backing up recorded content and enabling the direct playback of MP3, JPEG and DivX formats.
"We are very excited about the addition of two new models in the DivX Certified Time Machine TV Series," said HeeWon Kwon, Executive Vice President of LG Electronics. "LG is committed to providing consumers with a seamless media experience and the ability to transfer digital content from the PC to the living room differentiates us among digital televisions. We are delighted to offer this technological milestone to South American consumers everywhere."
"The addition of two models of high-definition DivX Certified Time Machine TV Series from LG highlights the growing importance of products that provide a very simple way to take content from computers to the living room," said Patrice Lagrange, Vice President and Group Business Manager, Media Languages, DivX, Inc. "With more devices in the living room and more mobile devices supporting DivX playback through USB, consumers can enjoy the full benefits of devices that are truly interoperable for high-quality video playback."
Products that bear the DivX Certified logo have undergone a rigorous testing program to ensure a high-quality DivX media experience, including reliable video creation, playback, and interoperability with other DivX Certified devices. Over 100 million DivX Certified devices have been shipped into the market from major manufacturers around the world.
