CyberLink Previews DTCP-IP Application

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.”

Trying to buy a GPU in 2023 almost makes me miss the shortage
Two AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards on a pink surface.

The days of the GPU shortage are long over, but somehow, buying a GPU is harder than ever -- and that sentiment has very little to do with stock levels. It's just that there are no obvious candidates when shopping anymore.

In a generation where no single GPU stands out as the single best graphics card, it's hard to jump on board with the latest from AMD and Nvidia. I don't want to see another GPU shortage, but the state of the graphics card market is far from where it should be.
This generation is all over the place

While the laptop industry continues to move toward 14-inch laptops and larger, the 13-inch laptop remains an important category. One of the best is the Apple MacBook Air M2, with an extremely thin and well-built chassis, great performance, and incredibly long battery life.

Lenovo has recently introduced the third generation of its ThinkPad X1 Nano, one of the lightest laptops we've tested and a good performer as well. It's stiff competition, but which of these two diminutive laptops stands apart?
