Sony Introduces Its First DivX Certified Portable DVD Player

Sony Merges PMP and Walkman Line to Create First DVD Walkman That Supports DivX Video

Sony of Canada Ltd. and DivX, Inc. today announced that Sony's new DVD Walkman portable DVD player is fully DivX Certified, allowing users to playback DivX videos on the go.

With over 180 million software product downloads worldwide, DivX is a digital media format that enables video to be compressed so that it uses only a fraction of the amount of data required by a standard-length DVD for secure playback on PCs and millions of consumer electronics devices.

The new ultra-compact D-VE7000S, a slimline tablet-design DVD player with a seven-inch widescreen LCD and embedded rechargeable battery, supports a wide range of playback disc formats. The DVD Walkman offers Dolby(R) Digital surround sound and dts(R) digital output with selectable video in/out for connecting to a camera, game system or television.

"DivX is a key technology in bridging the gap between computers and entertainment devices," said Mahesh Sharma, Product Manager, Home Audio, Home
Theatre & Home Video Products, Consumer Audio Visual/Information Technology Group, Sony of Canada Ltd. "By integrating DivX technology with the Walkman product, we enable consumers to have a truly mobile entertainment experience -- taking their videos from the PC and enjoying them on the road, on an airplane or in a car, or anywhere else they want to go."

"By supporting DivX technology in their new Walkman line, Sony has recognized the strong consumer demand for DivX support. We believe DivX Certification is quickly becoming a must-have feature across the consumer electronics ecosystem," said Bill Holmes, Vice President of Consumer Electronics at DivX, Inc. "Sony's DVD Walkman lets consumers enjoy their full library of high-quality video while on the go, offering convenient movie playback to users."

Products that bear the DivX Certified logo have undergone a rigorous testing program to ensure interoperability, security and visual quality. DivX Certified products enable consumers to create, play and share high-quality video content across a range of devices and platforms. More than 35 million DivX Certified devices have shipped from the world's leading brands.
