"Consumers not only want to view the latest movies on their HD TVs, they also want to see slideshows and videos of their vacations, family gatherings, and other personal events," said Dave Habiger, president and CEO, Sonic Solutions. "Integrating Roxio's digital media services enables device manufacturers to offer an enriched home and mobile entertainment experience that combines the best of Hollywood with the best in personal memories." The Roxio PhotoShow service (www.photoshow.com) enables families to quickly and simply turn their personal photos and video clips into engaging multimedia slideshows. Each PhotoShow is a unique story complete with rich special effects and transitions, creative animations and captions, and multiple music tracks. PhotoShows can be shared in email, linked to social networks and, through integration into the Roxio CinemaNow Digital Locker, available for instant viewing on Blu-ray Disc players, connected TVs, and mobile devices. "People love how PhotoShow makes it easy to create and share stories using home video and photos and the ability to publish shows to the CinemaNow Digital Locker will only add to their excitement," said Matt DiMaria, general manager, Roxio division of Sonic Solutions. "PhotoShow customers will be one click away from being able to view shows on the TV in their living room or securely share them so that loved ones can enjoy the show on their TV or mobile device."
