Business Wire
Macrovision Solutions Corporation (NASDAQ:MVSN) today announced
that the newest version of its LASSO media recognition solution has
expanded access to deeper entertainment data and more types of data
worldwide. LASSO now includes a larger global database supported by
both editorial and user-submitted data that can be localized to
regional specifics in stand-alone devices. This expanded offering
provides consumer electronic (CE) manufacturers with the ability to
create devices with richer experiences for consumers by allowing
them to further explore and experience entertainment media that is
most relevant to them.
The new version of LASSO uses global data from user submissions
compiled against Macrovision�s current AMG editorial database of
more than 1.5 million pop and classical music albums, 13 million
tracks, and 400,000 movie titles. CE manufacturers can then take
this database and localize it in stand-alone devices based upon
media recognition requests and local user data submissions made in
the respective geographic areas. By offering a localized dataset,
LASSO can specifically address user preferences and provide a more
robust and enjoyable entertainment experience to consumers as they
interact with their media.
�The consumer experience is centered on being able to simply
store and replay their content at the highest quality without a lot
of fuss,� said David Reynaga, Head of Future Products at Imerge,
one of the premier manufacturers and developers of movie and music
focused entertainment servers. �LASSO offers our customers an easy
way to interact with content, find what they are looking for and
discover new content.�
In addition, Internet connected LASSO-powered devices now will
have embedded linking capability that allows users to easily
navigate between artist biographies and album reviews. LASSO also
includes the ability to recognize Blu-ray discs and allows
consumers to submit DVD information.
�Extensive media recognition capability in devices such as MP3
players, mobile devices, home CD and DVD players, and automotive
entertainment systems is an essential element that makes the device
fantastic for a user,� said Corey Ferengul, EVP of Product
Management and Marketing at Macrovision. �LASSO provides an
easy-to-implement solution that further customizes the device to
local preferences and allows users to go deeper and experience
their media at the next level.�
LASSO includes a software development kit and access to
Macrovision�s full AMG entertainment database, and can be
implemented in both a networked or stand-alone device. It is now
available worldwide.
