"We are pleased to again be working with D-Link to show how powerful and secure the DTCP-IP solution is for content providers when combined with devices that comply with the new security framework," said Kevin Corbett, vice president and chief technology officer, Intel's Desktop Platforms Group. "Intel holds the highest respect for intellectual property rights, and this DTCP-IP solution is a step for the protection of content transmissions in the digital environment."
"We are excited to be working with Intel on the DTCP-IP platform through the new MediaLounge Wireless Media Player," said AJ Wang, chief technical officer of D-Link Systems. "Securing the safe delivery of rights-protected content is a primary concern as we continue to develop digital home devices which empower consumers with anytime, anywhere access to rich content."
By incorporating DTCP-IP, Intel* Networked Media Product Requirements (Intel* NMPR) and UPnP* AV-based interoperability into the D-Link MediaLounge Wireless Media Player, users will enjoy a seamless entertainment experience while securely watching video files, digital photos, or even listening to music files and Internet radio from anywhere in the home.
