Supports the Delivery of a Feature-Rich, Premium Digital
           Entertainment Experience to Connected Devices

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 19, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rovi Corporation
(NASDAQ: ROVI) today announced its DivX(R) Plus Streaming technology
will be integrated into the "UniPhier(R)" series of digital television
and Blu-ray Disc(TM) integrated circuit (IC) solutions from Panasonic
Corporation's Semiconductor Business Group. Designed to quickly enable
advanced entertainment experiences across the connected device
ecosystem, DivX Plus Streaming was selected by Panasonic SoC for its
ability to deliver more high-quality video content and advanced
multimedia features as part of the over-the-top entertainment
experience.

DivX Plus Streaming brings a robust, cutting-edge feature set to
streaming media that is typically characteristic of the Blu-ray Disc
consumer experience. By dynamically adjusting video streams and
delivering maximum visual quality based on available bandwidth, DivX
Plus Streaming eliminates jumpiness, pauses, and buffering during video
playback. The solution supports 1080p high definition, subtitles,
multiple language tracks, and trick-play features such as smooth fast
forward and rewind, quick-start playback, and resume playback across
devices. DivX Plus Streaming also works in conjunction with Rovi's DivX
Plus HD certification to enable offline playback of digital video files
with similar advanced features.

"The agreement with Panasonic SoC is evidence of the momentum of DivX
Plus Streaming and will help quickly fuel expansion of the ecosystem of
digital entertainment products that support this next-generation
technology," said Matt Milne, EVP, worldwide sales and marketing, Rovi
Corporation. "DivX Plus Streaming offers an end-to-end solution for
retailers, and CE and IC manufacturers that is lightweight and easy to
integrate yet provides the benefits of a flexible DRM framework for the
secure encoding, delivery and consumption of streamed video content."

To develop DivX Plus Streaming, Rovi built upon core DivX(R)
technologies recognized by millions of consumers around the world for
delivering great video performance, visual quality, and multi-screen
interoperability. The solution also utilizes trusted digital rights
management technology currently used by a number of online retailers
offering movies in the DivX format including WB Shop and Media Markt.
To accelerate time to market and device integration, Rovi has built out
the existing certification program used for DivX technology device
validation and compatibility -- a program that has resulted in shipment
by top-tier manufacturers of over 600 million DivX-compatible consumer
electronics devices into the market.
