Posted on: Tuesday, 29 November 2005, 12:00 CST

PARIS, November 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Actimagine software video codec and DRM solutions are being used to deliver full length movies on memory cards for mobile devices. This software allows storing a two hour movie on a 128MB memory card, bringing the highest quality of visuals and sound to mobile phones. Compared to other technologies, Actimagine display software requires far less processing power and, in turn, less processing power extends battery lifetime. For instance, Actimagine can run a full screen TV like display for more than 61/2 hours on most of the current available smart phones.

In the UK, Actimagine software video codec and DRM solutions are being used to deliver and protect select full length feature films that Sony Pictures Digital has released on memory cards for mobile phones. Spiderman(R)2 and Monty Python and the Holy Grail were launched in June of this year and new titles including Stuart Little, Ghostbusters and Hitch became available earlier this month.

All mobile devices like mobile phones, PDA's, Portable Multimedia Players can run Actimagine software video codec and all flash memory card formats are supported. To date, Actimagine has made versions of its technologies for Series 60(TM), UIQ(TM), Windows Mobile(TM), and PocketPC(TM).

A strong DRM solution

Actimagine has patented a strong DRM solution that allows the protection of content that is stored on a memory card.

"The combination of a high-performance video compression technology with a strong DRM system gives a clear signal to professionals that it's now possible to release their valuable content on portable, non-spinning medias." says Yann VIOT, Vice President Marketing of Actimagine.

Actimagine will exhibit at the CES 2006 in Las Vegas, USA, from January 5th to 8th, Sands Convention Center booth 70608 and at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, from February 13th to 16th, Hall 2 booth G066.
