Rovi Products To Connect With Rovi Platform

Santa Clara, Calif. – Rovi
said Tuesday that devices using its Connected platform media networking software
will be compatible with movies, TV shows, music and photos stored on Windows
7-based PCs.

Rovi said the forthcoming Windows 7 will be the first
OS to bring the DLNA device interoperability standard to a mass consumer
audience, opening up demand for a range of network devices, including those
equipped with the Rovi software.

The Rovi Connected platform is a “Windows 7 `Play To’
ready solution,” and will enable CE manufacturers to easily embed DLNA
networking capabilities into a range of other products, including HDTVs,
enabling the seamless sharing of content with the Windows 7 Media Center and
accelerating momentum toward a truly connected digital home experience, Rovi
said.

Windows Media Center, which is provided
with Windows 7, is slated for launch on Oct. 22 and will enable a seamless
connection between computers and compatible digital entertainment devices, such
as those with the Rovi system.

As for manufacturer partners announcing the support,
Onkyo said Rovi Connected Platform-enabled audio/video receivers are Windows 7
Play To certified.

Onkyo’s Connected Platform-enabled audio/video
receivers (AVRs) include the TX-NA1007 and TXNA5007, both of which join Onkyo’s
previously released networked AVRs, TX-NAB807 and TX-NR807, which are also
powered by Rovi’s Connected Platform solution.
