CyberLink today launched PowerDVD 15, the latest version of the world’s number one media player.
Available at www.cyberlink.com from US$59.95
Ushering in a host of improvements and new functionality, PowerDVD 15 is an all-purpose entertainment station that improves the entire user experience, providing the ability to enjoy virtually any type of digital media.
CyberLink’s award-winning TrueTheater technologies have been expanded in this latest version with new TrueTheater Color and TrueTheater Sound enhancements.
TrueTheater Color intelligently analyzes movie and video footage to deliver real-time enhancements to hues and vibrancy. TrueTheater Sound brings equally impressive improvements to audio content for both headphones and home theater speaker systems.
PowerDVD 15 is the world’s first commercially available H.265 hardware optimized software player, with support for the latest and most advanced video formats. Hardware accelerated decoding for HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) video allows for optimization of CPU and GPU resources.
This results in an average reduction in CPU loading of 63 percent, and prevents the PC from hanging or stuttering. For 4K ultra HD video, PowerDVD delivers sublimely smooth, lag-free playback through smart buffering technology.
“We are witnessing a change in the media consumption landscape, with myriad types of media and almost unlimited content available to consumers. Home theater systems are becoming increasingly complicated, and our goal is to simplify and improve the media experience across the board,” said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink.
“PowerDVD 15 is a one-stop solution that satisfies the widest range of consumer needs, and lets users take full control of their content for a completely personalized viewing experience.”
With newly-added direct playback of Blu-ray and DVD ISO files, PowerDVD allows users to build a home video library accessible through a network attached storage (NAS) server.
For high frame rate video content, PowerDVD employs an intelligent playback algorithm designed specifically for high fps video. It provides flawless rendering of high frame rate footage captured at 120 or even 240 fps on GoPro or iPhone 6 cameras.
