Since 2001, DivX has delivered industry leading video technology advancements, creating high-quality video codecs and improving upon existing Internet video formats. Panasonic has previously licensed DivX video technology for a range of device categories, including TV, DVD/Blu-ray, set-top box and more. Today's deal grants Panasonic a license to DivX's proprietary technology, including intellectual property around the MPEG 4 Part 2 (AVI) format, and integrates the DivX Home Theater solution into its complete line of in-car devices.
"We are pleased that companies like Panasonic continue to place a high value of our DivX® video technology and our contributions to the video landscape in general," said NeuLion CEO Kanaan Jemili, Ph.D.
The DivX Certified® program allows IC and OEM customers to quickly bring to market mobile and consumer electronics products that support high-quality DivX video playback. To date, more than one billion DivX devices have shipped worldwide from multiple major consumer electronics brands.
