Taipei, Taiwan—January 15, 2009—CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), innovative solution provider for the connected media lifestyle, announced today that CyberLink PowerDVD 8 is now optimized for S3 Graphics’ ChromotionHD™ 2.0 video engine—delivering robust playback of high-definition content on consumer and professional platforms. PowerDVD 8 support for the Chrome 400/500 Series graphics processors is now available on CyberLink’s online store.

The combination of CyberLink’s leading high-definition movie playback software and S3 Graphics’ ChromotionHD 2.0 video engine gives users picture-perfect quality and digital surround sound for the ultimate HD video playback experience. PowerDVD 8 leverages S3 Graphics ChromotionHD technology to deliver high quality HD decoding for the latest video codecs, including H.264, VC-1, and MPEG2 for Blu-ray™ movies.

With full bitstream decoding, inverse transform, motion compensation, and in-loop deblocking, the Chrome 400/500 Series GPUs allows PowerDVD 8 to offload HD intensive tasks from the CPU to the GPU, making the decoding process more efficient while minimizing total system power consumption for a better user experience.

"The combination of S3 Graphics and CyberLink brings to market another platform that delivers incredible, high quality 1080p HD playback for Home Media Centers, Desktop PCs, and mobile platforms," said Dr. Ken Weng, GM for S3 Graphics. “The feature-rich capabilities in the Chrome 400 and 500 Series provide the end-user with a comprehensive multimedia experience from eye-catching HD video to the latest HD-audio surround sound in a leading performance-per-watt product.”
