Today's consumers are increasingly using home networks to share digital music, videos and photos across a growing variety of devices located throughout the home and beyond. As consumers become more aware of the value of home networks, there is more demand for devices that support network connectivity. Macrovision offers solutions to help consumer electronics (CE) manufacturers enable consumers to access their digital music, video, and photo files without being bound to a single device. Macrovision helps them deliver an optimal digital entertainment experience by building devices that communicate with each other. Using Macrovision technologies and resources, CE manufacturers can increase time to market and differentiate their products.

Macrovision's Connected Platform enables CE manufacturers and distributors to speed time to market and differentiate their offerings by enabling them to build and market networked products that store, discover, and play back personal and Internet-based content. Our standards-based software enables connectivity with millions of DLNA-, UPnP- and DTCP-IP-compliant devices, allowing consumers to easily discover, manage and enjoy their digital content on their own terms.

Today's consumers are inundated with an expanding number of choices in content, channels, and viewing platforms—making it more and more difficult to find out "what's on" and where to go to watch it. Macrovision' interactive program guides (IPGs) provide CE manufacturers and mobile carriers with interactive, on-screen listings to help viewers navigate, sort, select, and schedule television programming—providing consumers with an optimal viewing experience.

As consumers are presented with a growing number of media options, they are increasingly looking for ways to manage and personalize their digital entertainment experiences. New ways to access, discover, and organize entertainment content are helping to enhance the consumer's overall enjoyment of music, movies, photos, and video programming. Macrovision metadata and media recognition solutions enable that enjoyment—both inside and outside the home.

Macrovision's interactive program guides (IPGs) enable consumers to discover relevant, new content and navigate to the programming that interests them most. Macrovision licenses IPG technology to third party guide developers, including cable and satellite providers, consumer electronics manufacturers, set-top box manufacturers, interactive television software providers, and program guide providers in the online, computer, and mobile phone businesses.
