Norcent to Introduce DP-220 DVD Player with DivX Technology

Norcent will display the DP-220 DVD player, a full-featured DVD player with built-in DivX playback technology, at the 2005 International CES in Las Vegas. The DP-220 plays near-DVD quality DivX content downloaded from the Internet, and features high-quality viewing with progressive scan and horizontal resolution of more than 500 lines. With support for multiple CD formats and output options, the DP-220 is the perfect DivX solution for movie buffs.

With DivX video technology, you can compress a VHS tape down to one-hundredth of its original size, or a DVD to one-tenth of its size and fit the entire contents on a regular data CD. Users can save any video content--like home movies or a personal DVD collection--on CDs for easy storage. To date, hundreds of thousands of DivX movies are now available for downloading on the Internet, giving DP-220 users a wide selection of titles to choose from.

Full-featured player delivers quality and flexibility
The single-disk Progressive Scan DP-220 DVD player sports a slim, attractive design and comes with a full-function remote control and an on-screen menu display for easy viewing. Built-in Dolby Digital Surround sound creates a theater-like experience. Users have access to eight-step fast or slow motion with nine picture viewing functions, as well as eight different language soundtracks and captions in 32 languages. With support for all types of media--DVD, DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW, CD, CD-R/-RW, MP3-CD, MPEG-4, and Picture-CD--the DP-220 provides maximum flexibility for high-quality DivX movie playback.

The Norcent DP-220 will be showcased at CES January 6-9. In addition to the DP-220, Norcent will also display many of its technology-leading products, including:
