Nero Showcases Next-Gen Technologies and Software Solutions for Today’s Digital Consumer at CES 2006 – Don’t Miss It!

From Photo and Video Editing and Burning to Voice-Over-IP, Nero Showcases the Must-Have Consumer Solutions of the Year

CES, Las Vegas, NV (January 3, 2006) – Nero, leaders in digital media technology, will take the stage in Vegas to expose their hottest products and technologies for 2006: Nero 7, Nero SIPPS™ Connect, Nero PhotoShow Deluxe 4, and Nero Digital™, along with HD delivery supporting Blu-ray and HD DVD

Nero 7 is the latest landmark in the product suite that ignited the CD burning movement. This award-winning digital media solution has been recognized by press, consumers and industry leaders as the ultimate all-in-one suite for audio, video, photo and data. Nero SIPPS Connect, the recently released consumer application for voice, video and messaging over the internet, offering the latest in high-quality voice-over-IP, lets users across the globe connect with family and friends with free PC to PC calls, and low rates for international calls.

The newly released, Nero PhotoShow Deluxe 4 is the ultimate in ease and functionality for photo management, editing, creating and sharing your digital photos. Now users can turn idle digital content into riveting multimedia presentations called PhotoShows that go beyond simple slide shows. Users can even add musical soundtracks, Animated Clip Art, captions and text, frames, and select from numerous templates to further enhance their PhotoShows and burn on DVD, or share them on their free website with PhotoShow Circle.

And finally, Nero will demonstrate their MPEG-4 standards-compliant Nero Digital™, harnessing the highest standards available in audio and video compression while delivering tomorrow’s high-definition multimedia, including the Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD formats. All HD technologies are definitely not created equal, and Nero will show why its implementation of these technologies will lead the pack of HD solutions.
