“Our customers have told us that they want the flexibility to playback more of their entertainment content on one device, regardless of file format,” said Apex Digital’s Steve Brothers. “Apex was one of the first manufacturers to build MP3 and JPEG playback into our devices, and now that DivX has emerged as a popular compression format, we want to be among the first to offer consumers the ability playback those files away from their computers.”
“Apex Digital is one of the fastest-growing consumer electronics companies in history, and their industry leadership has helped bring a wide range of high-quality, affordable products to consumers,” said Shahi Ghanem, President of DivXNetworks. “Apex is again demonstrating their innovative market approach and leadership by deploying DivX technology across their complete product line in 2005. Next year, consumers in North America and the rest of the world will be able to find the DivX logo on many Apex products, including DVD players, high-definition devices, portable video players and more. These DivX Certified devices will let consumers with Apex products easily and seamlessly tap into the DivX Ecosystem — enabling them to create, play and share high-quality videos anywhere, anytime.”
The first Apex products to be DivX certified include the E2go MP-2000 and MP-6500 Portable Media Players, the 10.2″ PD-1027 Portable DVD Player and the AD-2800X Home DVD Player.
