DDD licenses TriDef®3D technology to number 1 consumer PC maker in China
10 November 2011 – Los Angeles, California: DDD Group plc (AIM: DDD), the 3D solutions company, has licensed its TriDef®3D software to Top Victory Investments Ltd (TPV) for its AOC brand 3D monitors.
TPV is the first Chinese company to launch a 3D monitor in China, and is now expanding the AOC line-up into the worldwide market. The polarized ‘FPR’ 3D displays will use TriDef 3D technology to provide 2D to 3D conversion for video and games, as well as playback for originally made 3D photo and video content.
AOC’s monitors are already used in many of the 150,000 Chinese iCafe internet cafes. They were also featured at SINOCES in China in July, and in September at LG Displays’ event in Beijing where six of China’s largest PC manufacturers and four of the largest monitor manufacturers presented their latest 3D consumer products.
DDD will receive quarterly royalties based on the volume of AOC brand 3D monitors shipped. DDD’s TriDef 3D automatically converts DVD movies, PC media and photo files from 2D to 3D. It allows over 30 popular Chinese online games and over 500 of the latest PC games that have not been specifically developed for 3D to be played in stereoscopic 3D “off the shelf”. Thegame conversion engine is compatible with games that run on the DirectX 9, 10 and 11 application programming interfaces. It is available in 37 languages.
Chris Yewdall, chief executive of DDD, said: “Working with AOC, the leading PC consumer brand in China, gives us the opportunity to address the PC market in China, which is currently the largest growth market for PCs. It also further reinforces DDD’s position as a market-leading 3D content solution for the PC market.”
