DivX and Revision3 Bring Popular Online Video Network to the Television Through DivX Connected™

Groundbreaking Internet Video Services Comes to the Living Room Thanks to DivX Connected Platform

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DivX, Inc. (NASDAQ:DIVX), a digital media company, and Revision3 (www.revision3.com) today announced an agreement that will bring Revision3’s hit online shows to television viewers through the DivX Connected™ platform. The agreement will enable consumers to easily access many of their favorite Revision3 channels like PixelPerfect and Diggnation on any DivX Connected device.

“Now that all of our shows are in HD, they look just as good on a 60”

Revision3, the TV network for the Internet generation, offers a number of online channels featuring compelling, original video content. Through DivX Connected, Revision3 will be able to extend the audience for these popular programs beyond the web and into the living room.

DivX Connected is an open platform that allows consumers to easily enjoy videos, music, photos and Internet services without being tied to a computer. DivX Connected technology can be implemented in a variety of affordable consumer electronics devices, including digital media adapters, digital televisions, set-top boxes and more. The first DivX Connected device from D-Link is currently available in the UK, France and Germany and will be released in the US and Canada this year. Additional devices from DivX partners are expected to be available later in 2008.

“Now that all of our shows are in HD, they look just as good on a 60” plasma as on a 3” iPod. But historically you’ve needed a degree in geekology to watch online video on your TV,” said Jim Louderback, CEO Revision3. “Not anymore! Now with DivX Connected, it’s easier to watch shows on big screen TVs and computers too.”

“High-quality Internet video services like Revision3 have exploded in popularity by offering compelling content that has been embraced by digital media consumers,” said Patrice Lagrange, Senior Vice President, Products, DivX, Inc. “DivX Connected offers the perfect solution to bring those services beyond the PC to the living room, giving consumers more control and flexibility to enjoy content when and where they want.”
