ChromotionHD™ 2.0 and Corel® WinDVD® playback software provide a true HD experience on desktop and mobile platforms
Fremont, California, November 26, 2008 – S3 Graphics, a leading provider of graphics and multimedia technologies, today announced it will bundle Corel® WinDVD® for Blu-ray™ playback on the Chrome 400/500 Series graphics cards. The seamless integration of S3 Graphics’ ChromotionHD™ 2.0 video engine on Chrome 400/500 GPUs and the world’s leading playback software, Corel WinDVD, gives users an incredibly vivid, cinematic HD playback experience for single and multiple (Picture-in-Picture) video streams on high-resolution digital displays.
S3 Graphics ChromotionHD engine uses the power of Corel WinDVD to deliver high-quality HD decoding for playback of the latest video Codecs, including H.264, VC-1, and MPEG-2 for Blu-ray movies. The ChromotionHD 2.0 is built around the concept of programmability that allows the engine to support a wide range of decoding and video acceleration features for high-quality Blu-ray playback and streaming digital video content, improving system performance and power draw by reducing CPU usage.
The ChromotionHD 2.0 video engine includes full bitstream decoding, inverse transform, motion compensation, and in-loop deblocking, for a more efficient decode process that offloads multimedia intensive tasks from the CPU to the GPU. These architectural and key power-saving features continue to make S3 Graphics the industry’s power efficiency and performance-per-watt leader.
“We are excited about the partnership with Corel in offering consumers another platform that supports HD content for an incredible digital entertainment experience,” said Dr. Ken Weng, General Manager for S3 Graphics. “Through the combination of WinDVD playback software and the S3 Graphics ChromotionHD video engine, users can now bring true digital multimedia to a broad spectrum of desktop and notebook PCs.”
“Corel is pleased S3 Graphics has selected WinDVD to provide a complete HD viewing solution with its graphics processors,” said James Carrington, Senior Director, OEM and Strategic Product Marketing, Digital Media at Corel. “With WinDVD, the world’s number one disc and video playback software, users will enjoy superior performance and quality benefits resulting in the ultimate HD viewing experience on their computers."
