NVIDIA Unveils DVD Player/Decoder

Thanks go to Icrontic and GZeasy for this heads up.

"NVDVD represents yet another step into the world of consumer electronics devices," stated Jen-sun Huang, president and CEO at NVIDIA. "NVIDIA's new NVDVD multimedia software combines the ultimate video and audio playback with advanced features and intuitive controls to enable a home theater experience on any desktop or notebook PC."

A complete software DVD solution, developed entirely by NVIDIA, NVDVD utilizes an enhanced, state-of-the-art video decoding engine to deliver users a sharper, more true to life video image. NVDVD's integrated Dolby™ Digital® support delivers the benefits of Dolby Surround® technology for users with multi-channel sound cards. For consumers who want to utilize external audio processors such as a home theater receiver, NVDVD can output direct digital audio via an S/PDIF connector for external processing of Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG audio, or LPCM formats.

Advanced features include :-

  • NVIDIA nView™ Support – NVIDIA NVDVD takes full advantage of NVIDIA's nView™ multi-display functionality, providing support for video mirroring – allowing for full-screen DVD playback on one screen, with full Windows® access on the other.
  • Digital Vibrance Control™ (DVC) – NVIDIA DVC allows end users to select and control the color settings of their display's entire visual output, via a simple control panel, delivering a dynamic DVD experience on any type of display.
  • Advanced Frame Capture – NVIDIA NVDVD allows end users to capture high-quality snapshot images from video in the original or adjusted size.
  • Auto-Resume – Allows end users to automatically resume playback of a video if playback was stopped prematurely or closed temporarily.
NVDVD will be available for distribution to and by OEMs and system integrators immediately. (Not sure if this is going to be a free download or a pay product, I know what I wish for... ;) )
