`
`Oregan Networks Demonstrates UPnP Enabled
`
`
`Intel Developer Forum, SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 18 PRNewswire
`
`Oregan Networks a provider of middleware solutions for delivering interactive
`services to digital entertainment devices demonstrated at the Intel Developers
`Forum a Universal Plug 'n' Play ( UPnP) enabled DVD platform, capable of
`streaming media content and services from a PC.
` The Enhanced DVD reference platform, will allow consumers to use their
`televisions to view photos and movie videos stored on their PC, or play MP3
`files through DVD audio systems. All content is discovered automatically, and
`offered through a series of intuitive menus on the TV.
` The integration of UPnP enables fully automatic discovery of content and
`services on any UPnP enabled device within a home network. Regardless of
`whether the content is stored on an UPnP enabled PC, PVR, or MP3 player, the
`technology permits remote access, presentation and control of that content
`from any other UPnP supporting device within the home.
` The DVD player demonstrated is based on a Cirrus Logic CS98200 Enhanced
`DVD reference design. Oregan offers a sophisticated portability layer as part
`of its product, enabling the middleware to be ported to other silicon and
`reference designs with minimal effort. The companies are in discussions with
`additional silicon vendors to market this solution as a standard in the DVD
`marketplace.
` Mark Perry, Chief Executive Officer of Oregan Networks said, "UPnP is an
`exciting development for Oregan as we are committed to the use of industry
`standards to deliver digital entertainment devices with increased
`functionality. UPnP not only provides consumers with an effortless user
`experience, but its open standard nature means the potential for
`interoperability between a multitude of other home devices is greatly
`increased." He added, "Oregan's challenge has been to integrate UPnP
`technology while retaining the highly customisable nature of our web based

`

`user interface, so OEMs may continue to innovate product differentiation.
`Maintaining our small embedded footprint and optimising performance on what
`are relatively low-powered and low-cost platforms is also critical for success
`of this technology."
` "Consumers are embracing digital photography, music and video, and home
`networking in increasing numbers. They see real value in the ability to use
`the performance, features and flexibility of the PC -- to play their favorite
`digital content on other devices in their home like the stereo and the TV,"
`said Louis Burns, vice president and co-general manager of Intel's Desktop
`Platforms Group. "Working with Intel, Oregan Networks has integrated UPnP into
`the Enhanced DVD reference platform, demonstrating a great example of
`innovative devices becoming available that support the Digital Home vision."
