      Top Boxes, TVs, Tablets, and Other Devices With Secure
                  Content Playback on Android OS

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 12, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW
2012) -- Rovi Corporation (Nasdaq:ROVI) today announced that Amlogic, a
leading fabless semiconductor company providing advanced solutions for
a wide range of consumer applications, has introduced the first DivX
Plus(R) HD solution available on an Android OS, via the Amlogic
AML-8726M series chipset. The Amlogic DivX Plus HD solution is designed
to enrich consumers' video viewing experience on devices such as
digital televisions (DTVs), set-top boxes (STBs), media boxes, and
tablets as well as provide secure playback of content from major motion
picture studios on the Android CE platform.

The collaboration is the result of a DivX(R) technology licensing
agreement between Rovi and Amlogic. DivX Plus HD, the premium level of
DivX technology certification, enables consumers to enjoy a broad range
of content and also offers advanced entertainment features like trick
play, automated chapter points, and multiple audio and subtitle tracks.

"We are breaking new ground by achieving DivX Plus HD certification for
an Android-based chipset," said Michael Mo, senior director of business
development, Amlogic. "Using DivX Plus HD, our Amlogic AML-8726M IC
solution can help enable device manufacturers to enhance their products
with additional functionality and satisfy customers' desires for a
convenient, flexible, and high-quality entertainment experience."

By working with DivX to achieve certification for the DivX Plus HD
profile, not only do manufacturers increase playback quality,
performance, and compatibility, but they also enable consumers to
easily transfer Internet video for enjoyment on an extensive,
multi-manufacturer ecosystem of CE devices. Certified DivX Plus HD
devices can easily play back personal and protected Hollywood
entertainment in DivX (.avi) and DivX Plus HD (.mkv) formats, whether
the content is on optical disc, USB drive, or streamed over a home
network using DLNA. The DivX device ecosystem now includes more than
500 million DivX devices worldwide.

"Consumers are demanding a wealth of video on their mobile devices. We
believe our agreement with Amlogic will help bring secure, high-quality
DivX and DivX Plus HD video to emerging Android-based CE devices," said
Matt Milne, senior vice president of CE sales, Rovi. "Amlogic's new
chipset should help enable more OEM devices running Android to provide
a more flexible and enjoyable digital media experience for their
consumers with DivX Plus HD certification."

DivX Plus HD certification offers stunning visual quality and supports
video resolutions up to 1080p. Also, DivX Certified(R) devices contain
digital rights management technology to enable the secure playback of
premium content in the DivX format, making it easy for consumers to
enjoy video entertainment across a wide array of CE devices. Global
online retailers offering Hollywood titles in the DivX format include
Film Fresh, the WB Shop, and Media Markt, which are powered by the Rovi
Entertainment Store.
