Nintendo has chosen Sonic Solutions CinePlayer CE DVD Navigator to bring high-quality DVD movie viewing to a future version of the company's Wii gaming console planned for release in the latter half of 2007.
CinePlayer CE DVD Navigator is a software-based DVD playback engine that delivers broad playback compatibility on a variety of platforms. It supports all standard video and audio formats offered in the DVD specification, as well as advanced functions such as anamorphic widescreen video, motion menus, and multiple video angles, says Sonic Solutions.
"To be involved in Nintendo's ground-breaking gaming console is extremely gratifying and a testament to the efficiency, flexibility and dependability of Sonic's technology," said Jim Taylor, senior vice president and general manager of Sonic's Advanced Technology Group. "Game consoles represent a fresh market and platform where we can introduce a new audience of potentially millions to the quality of our brand and the power of our digital media applications.
According to a recent report by new media research firm Centris, DVD playback device penetration continues to grow. The total number of DVD playback-capable households grew to 91 million in April 2006, which represents an 8 per cent increase over the previous year. Adding to this figure was an increase in DVD-enabled game units which grew 11 per cent year over year to approximately 45 million.
