Panasonic today announced that its Blu-ray Disc (BD) Player (PN: DMP-BD30EG/EE) has received DivX certification, joining a growing line of Panasonic products which are DivX certified.
The Blu-ray Disc (BD) Player (PN: DMP-BD30EG/EE) will probably be the first DivX certified Blu-Ray player when it arrives in stores this month in Europe. Sorry US peeps.
“In order to give our users access to the extremely popular, high-quality DivX format, we have introduced the first DivX-Certified Blu-ray Disc Player for Europe and Russia,” said Yuki Kusumi, Group Manager of Product Technology, Video Business Unit, Network Business Group, Panasonic AVC Networks Company, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. “The timely launch of this strategic product is a direct response to the strong demand for DivX playback among consumers. We are very confident this product will be very popular in the European and Russian markets.”
“The DivX Certified Panasonic Blu-ray Disc Player is a great device from a leader in next generation DVD technology, and marks an important strategic milestone in our growth into new product categories,” said Kevin Hell, CEO of DivX, Inc. “DivX has already become a de-facto standard on existing DVD players and we are well-positioned to repeat that success in the Blu-ray category. We’re pleased Panasonic continues to recognize DivX technology as an important feature on next-generation devices.”
According to DivX products that carry the DivX certified logo have undergone extensive testing to ensure high video quality.
