NEULION LICENSES DIVX SDK TO BROADCOM CORPORATION TO DELIVER PLATFORM-POWERED LIVE STREAMING ON SET-TOP BOXES

NeuLion Inc. has licensed its DivX consumer electronics SDK to Broadcom Corp. The DivX SDK implements the MPeg-Dash standard with additional features for live, high-action sports and enhanced security for 4K ultra-HD movies. This will be demonstrated on a Broadcom chip set in NeuLion's booth at IBC 2015, making Broadcom the first to show support for live UHD/4K OTT services powered by the NeuLion digital platform.

NeuLion's DivX technology platform helps Broadcom deliver a new generation of set-top boxes to support OTT video services that stream live and on-demand sports and premium entertainment up to 4Kp60.

The NeuLion digital platform leverages newly acquired technologies, including the DivX consumer electronics licensing and certification program, DivX DRM technology, and leading streaming solution featuring HEVC and Dash to power encode, delivery and playback of premium sports and entertainment content up to 4K for the world's top content rightholders and sports leagues. Each DivX certified device is tested against the same MainConcept encoders and profiles used by the NeuLion digital platform to ensure the best user experience with the most popular, live sports services.

"Broadcom is no stranger to bringing new solutions to the market. This next series of Broadcom chip sets enables live and on-demand 4K video streaming with frame rates up to 60 p to set-top boxes, and will clear the path to new 4K live streaming services powered by the NeuLion digital platform on living room devices," said NeuLion chief executive officer, Dr. Kanaan Jemili.

"Broadcom was first with ultra-HD silicon and DivX HEVC certified chip sets. We continue to work with leading customers like NeuLion to deliver ultra-HD definition content to the subscriber's home. NeuLion delivers some of the highest-quality 4K video streams available to consumers in an OTT environment," said Broadcom senior director, product marketing, Stuart Thomson.

To date, more than one billion DivX devices, including over 41,000 unique models, have shipped worldwide from multiple major consumer electronics brands. DivX LLC received a 2014 best ultra-HD codec award from Ultra HDTV Magazine for its DivX 10 software and MainConcept HEVC SDK.

NeuLion will be showcasing live demonstrations of its services on a Broadcom-based set-top box at IBC 2015. Visit NeuLion in Hall 14, Stand F34.
