Intel NMPR validation further builds on Beyond TV's power in the standards-based digital home.

"The company has always placed an emphasis on the consumer experience, believing that products should be as easy-to-use out of the box as possible. The Intel NMPR guidelines benefit both developers and consumers by allowing devices to easily communicate with one another. The NMPR standard is important in promoting the connected digital home."

"Intel NMPR development guidelines and tools for building digital home products define common usage models and an interoperability framework for delivering the best experience in connecting consumer electronics devices to Intel-based platforms," said Bill Leszinske, director of digital home marketing, Intel Corporation. "With Intel NMPR-compliant consumer electronics devices, consumers can seamlessly enjoy their digital content on any device around the home across PCs, various consumer electronic devices, and content applications and services."
