Divx Connected is a platform and software standard that will enable users to stream content throughout a network. Think of it as enabling AppleTV for the Divx world.
The company plans to license an SDK to OEMs and chip manufacturers, and encourage them to build the technology into different products from different OEMs. The strategy is that Divx Connected could be integrated with cable boxes, DVD players, and set-top boxes.
The feature of a Divx Connected box would be similar to most streaming devices. Users could view pictures and video or listen to music from any computer on their network while also streaming video from online video sites like Stage6.
TvSquad recently was shown the interface of Divx Connected devices. Divx is currently in the process of securing third-party hardware partners and showing off the interface is a good way to promote the standard.
