CyberLink’s Products to Fully Exploit Windows 7 Improvements

Taipei, Taiwan—April 30, 2009—CyberLink Corporation (5203.TW) is working closely with Microsoft Corp. to take full advantage of the advanced capabilities of Windows 7.

“Windows 7 has proven to be an ideal platform for CyberLink’s next generation digital media software applications”, said Alice Chang, CEO of CyberLink. “From video architecture improvements to the exciting new multi-touch user interface extensions, Microsoft has provided a solid foundation for high performance desktop media applications. CyberLink is working closely with Microsoft, leading chip manufacturers, and PC manufacturers on the development of digital media applications that deliver the best user experience for Windows 7.”

Windows 7 has been optimized for high performance in many ways. CyberLink’s performance optimized video and photo applications take full advantage of Windows 7 on any hardware platform, with any CPU and graphics hardware.

“We’re excited to see the advanced digital media software applications that CyberLink is developing in preparation for the Windows 7 launch,” said Jeff Price, Senior Director in the Windows Product Group at Microsoft. "Through close collaboration with Windows core and component product teams, including our Windows Media Center, Touch, Windows Media, Direct3D, and PlayReady teams, CyberLink is fully leveraging the advanced capabilities of the Windows 7 platform.“

PowerDVD, CyberLink’s popular video player software, exploits video architecture improvements in Windows 7, including DirectX Video Acceleration for High Definition (DXVA HD). PowerDVD 9 provides a modern user interface, while also plugging in seamlessly to Windows Media Center, letting consumers enjoy videos, DVDs and Blu-ray discs from their desk, on the go, or from the comfort of their couch.

PowerDirector takes advantage of Windows 7 to provide the fastest and easiest high definition video editing, DVD and Blu-ray authoring and web video sharing. MediaShow provides the easiest, most enjoyable way to manage, edit and share your photo and video library. CyberLink’s multi-touch applications will benefit from the power of Windows 7 on next generation touch screen hardware, making PCs easier to use than ever before.

CyberLink develops these best-in-class capabilities on the most widely supported personal computer operating system, benefiting from strong support from Microsoft and the Windows community, including PC manufacturers, CPU and graphics chip manufacturers, independent hardware manufacturers, independent software developers, business customers and consumers.
