CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), innovative solution provider for the connected media lifestyle,will be featuring a sophisticated suite of enhancement technologies that heightens the home theater experience by dramatically improving the video and audio playback quality at the Las Vegas Hilton, Suite 2365,January 8-11.

“The growing popularity for high-definition video and audio in the market has raised consumers’ expectations towards the movie playback experience,” said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink. “CyberLink has developed advanced technologies that will boost standard-definition DVD video and audio quality to achieve superior results, allowing users to enjoy high-definition right now.”

CyberLink TrueTheater™ enhancement features include:
· TrueTheater™ HD eliminates jagged edges from standard definition content played on high-resolution displays and removes distracting video artifacts. DVD content displayed on HD screens appears to have the detail of a higher-resolution image, making TrueTheater HD ideal for watching standard-resolution video on large displays and projectors.


· TrueTheater™ Motion utilizes a frame-rate conversion process to ensure smoother scene movements and fluid screen action. With the technology, users can enjoy smoother playback—even during scenes with rapid panning and zooming.


· TrueTheater™ Stretch adjusts the viewing ratio of displayed video with minimal distortion using a non-linear stretching technique. It stretches the video image on the edges of the screen, leaving the center of the screen unaffected. With TrueTheater Stretch, users may watch any movie they like with the aspect ratio optimally suited to their display device—even if the original movie doesn’t support it.

· TrueTheater™ Lighting automatically adjusts video colors, contrast, and brightness to deliver improved detail and an enhanced viewing experience. Balancing overly dark and overexposed scenes, TrueTheater Lighting is ideal for correcting the loss of detail inherent with some LCD and CRT monitors. In addition to automatic and manual settings, a choice of pre-set color profiles allows even easier adjustments.


· TrueTheater™ Surround employs CyberLink’s channel-expansion technology to enable surround sound by converting 2-to 8-channel audio, allowing users to optimize audio playback by matching their equipment with their source content. TrueTheater Surround also simulates surround sound when multi-channel audio is played through headphones and stereo speakers, creating a wider sound image.
