Nero, leaders in digital media technology, showcases the latest technology to bring all of the digital media hubs together. Three digital media hubs (CE, PC and living room) have emerged and Nero has the solutions to provide technology partners opportunities to extend their digital media offerings. Nero's next-generation technology, integrated solutions approach and brand recognition have been adopted by a growing list of customers and partners such as AMD, D-Link, and many more.
The cornerstone of Nero's approach to liquid media within the digital home and on the go is the Nero Digital platform which consists of Nero Digital codecs, software solutions and DRM and copy protection mechanisms. The Nero Digital Format is a critical extension of the Platform and is based on industry standards MPEG-4 Video (MPEG-4 SP/ASP and AVC/H.264) and MPEG-4 Audio (LC AAC and HE AAC) compression technologies. It enables the delivery of more high quality MPEG-4 compliant audio and video content at lower bit rates, while offering advanced management features. The number of Nero Digital-certified CE devices has grown rapidly in 2006, and the company expects mass scale adoption in 2007.
The Nero Digital platform provides seamless audio and video scalability from mobile platforms to high definition home theater systems, integrated software solutions designed for media creation, burning, sharing, and playback, and high quality audio and video transcoding for home theater playback or video on the go on portable or mobile devices.
"Consumers currently have content on their PCs, home entertainment systems and portable devices, but have traditionally had limited means to share this content between devices, said Udo Eberlein, COO, Nero AG. "Our latest software offerings and partnerships with leading manufacturers give consumers access to liquid media and the ability to access and enjoy their content anytime, anywhere.
Nero's flagship product, Nero 7 Ultra Edition Enhanced delivers the home, portable and mobile solutions to the consumer. This industry-leading all-in-one solution for the management of data, audio, video, photo, and TV content contains over 20 applications. In addition to easily managing their digital files from the comfort of their living rooms, users can now create compelling entertainment experiences that can be enjoyed outside of the home. The Nero Mobile application enables users to efficiently transfer audio and video files from PCs to mobile phones, PDAs and other portable devices, transforming them into mobile media centers. Nero MediaHome enables the streaming of live TV and other content throughout the house from Windows® Media Center Edition PCs to Xbox 360 game consoles. Nero Home Integrates TV time-shifting & TV Recording.
In addition, Nero will also be showcasing Nero PhotoShow Deluxe 4, its full-featured slideshow creator and sharing suite that includes a variety of enhanced tools that allow users to quickly and easily create entertaining movie-like experiences called PhotoShows. Users can enhance their PhotoShows by adding musical accompaniment, animated clip art, captions, frames, and numerous templates. Finished presentations can be shared with family and friends via DVD burning, email or by posting them free-of-charge on the Nero PhotoShow Circle website.
