DIAMOND PVR AND GRAPHICS CARDS OFFER
MUVEE INSTANT PERSONAL VIDEO BUNDLE
Innovative muvee Software Turns Digital Photos and Home Video into
Professional Looking Movies
Los Angeles and New York - April 17, 2006 - Diamond Multimedia, a
leading manufacturer of peripherals and accessories for getting the
most out of PCs, is now offering trial and 'lite' versions of muvee
autoProducer 5, which will be bundled on CD with its well known
Viper and Stealth graphics cards, and XtremeTV TV Tuner/PVR.
This partnership will enable Diamond XtremeTV TV Tuner/PVR and
graphics card users to automatically create professional-quality
home video productions that can incorporate pictures, videos and
music inputs with synchronized style effects and transitions.
Diamond Graphics Card customers will have a 30-day free trial of the
full muvee autoProducer 5 software that is available in 16
languages, offers unlimited pictures, videos and music inputs, the
ability to burn DVDs, and support for DivX output among other
popular video formats. PVR users will have a 'lite' version that
allows up to 50 pictures, three videos and three music inputs as
well as 10 themed styles and one customized Diamond style. Diamond
customers will be given the option to upgrade to the full version
for up to 40 percent off the MSRP of $99.
Elvin Low, muvee's Director of Business Development for North
America, said, "We're excited at being able to give Diamond
customers a fun and easy way to create their own compelling content.
Together, we're making it possible for end users to get creative and
do more with their digital media, and there's absolutely no hard
work involved."
"The strong reputation of the Diamond name means we have to deliver
high-quality products, but we continue to surprise our customers
with these extra value-added features," said Diamond Multimedia CEO,
Bruce Zaman. "It's a pleasure to work with muvee to bring instant
personal video and customized moving images to the Diamond customer
who is using our PVR or graphics cards to create exceptional media
and images."
XtremeTV TV Tuner/PVR
XtremeTV includes both USB and PCI versions of the product, as well
as special "Power Pack" editions that enable users to easily convert
their standard PC into a high-end media center featuring a
state-of-the-art interface and long-range RF universal PC remote
control.
With XtremeTV, users can watch TV on their PC or laptop, pause and
rewind live TV, use an integrated program guide to record shows with
a single click, and burn shows to DVD. Also, these products feature
an RF (radio frequency) PC remote control which, unlike IR
(infra-red) remote controls, can transmit signals through walls and
even floors to a distance of up to 30 feet. Combined with Beyond TV
and Beyond Media, XtremeTV gives users a TV watching and recording
experience that simply cannot be matched by any other PVR product.
Stealth and Viper Video Cards
All Diamond video cards also carry the Diamond guarantee of quality
assurance. Unlike many cards that are simply first to market,
Diamond carefully tests and retests every new model for its ratio of
performance to reliability. Diamond is legendary in the PC video
card business for its low return rates - less than 1 percent versus
an industry average of approximately 10 percent - and attributes
this to its intensive testing, detailed product knowledge down to
the component level, superior relationships with suppliers and
unyielding commitment to quality. Diamond cards use superior
connectors, cables and components, as well as undergo more thorough
testing for heat susceptibility and durability, and this is directly
reflected in its superior track record of longevity at the highest
levels of performance.
