NME Creative and Software Division announced today that it has successfully trialled its HD VMD playback software as well as VMD multilayer PC drives.
The company will release the HD VMD playback software for download in February 2007, initially in 10 regions worldwide. The software will also be offered to hardware manufacturers as a bundling solution.
The proprietary Multilayer PC drives will go on sale in the 2nd Quarter to playback the 4-layer VMD discs. The VMD multilayer drives will be made available at an affordable price and can replace all existing PC disc drives.
The HD VMD Playback software will support both VMD disc formats -- the HD VMD Duallayer (on DVD9) and VMD multilayer disc. It will carry some unique, powerful playback features and functions and will support multi-language and regional settings.
The minimum systems requirements are any Intel Pentium 4.2.4 or AMD Athlon 2400 to playback true HD in 1920x1080. With HD VMD playback you can output high definition onto any HD display and experience high quality audio and video.
An independent Technology Entrepreneur Vijay Shah, Chairman of V2 Technologies India, who has run the initial trials, commented that "The Image quality is visibly superior when using HD VMD playback and it comes with powerful features and functionality."
The NME CEO, Mahesh Jayanarayan commented, "The entry into the PC market has always been in our strategy. We are now able to provide the content providers an additional market segment on our HD format and PC users worldwide the capability of playing back HD films without any additional expense."
NME sees a significant market potential for its HD VMD format in the PC industry. With two powerful solutions, the HD VMD playback and the Multilayer PC Drives, NME sees no barrier to entry into the PC market.
