CyberLink Previews DTCP-IP Application

Add as a preferred source on Google

As the world’s first standalone Intel* Networked Media Product Requirements (Intel NMPR) validated media standalone application, CyberLink PowerCinema transforms the PC into a media entertainment center and gives consumers the freedom to access their favorite content anywhere, anytime within the digital home.

Making home networking of premium content a reality for consumers, CyberLink and Intel cooperated to implement the Digital Transmission Content Protection (DTCP) over IP in PowerCinema. The technology is essential for devices to share copy-protected content.

The DTCP-IP compliant PowerCinema will enable consumers to share protected content between digital home products over wired and wireless networks and protect the interests for premium content providers — thus preventing illegal recording and sharing. With this technology, the world is a step closer to making the digital home a reality.

“The new service offering was made possible through the use of Intel’s DTCP-IP Sample Implementation Kit,” said Dr. Jau Huang, Founder and Chairman of CyberLink. “As a result, CyberLink is now capable of delivering protected premium content within the home network. We believe that this is what consumers will want from the digital home.”

“The DTCP-IP SIK from Intel helped CyberLink quickly and efficiently deploy the DTCP-IP solution and make our vision of sharing protected premium content in the digital home a reality. CyberLink will continue to work with Intel to enable our other products with DTCP-IP so that our OEM customers have a portfolio of applications to build home networking solutions with,” said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink Corp.

“We are pleased that application developer, CyberLink, has implemented the DTCP-IP technology using the Intel kit,” said Kevin Corbett, vice president and chief technology officer for Intel’s Desktop Platforms Group. “We believe enabling the availability of premium protected content on the home network will accelerate making the digital home a reality. Cyberlink has shown proof the technology is ready today.”

Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.

"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.

Faster where it matters. Familiar everywhere else.
MacBook comparison

I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.

However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
