Sonic Solutions� (NASDAQ:SNIC), the leader in digital media software, today announced that TitleMatch Entertainment Group, a division of Protocall Technologies Incorporated, (OTCBB:PCLI), and leading provider of DVD-on-demand systems for retailers and e-tailers, is upgrading their systems to support Sonic�s Qflix�-enabled DVD On Demand� platform for the custom manufacturing of DVDs with Content Scramble System (CSS) encryption as well as RipGuard and ACP, Macrovision�s proven content-protection technologies. The resulting TitleMatch systems will enable retailers and e-tailers to supplement physical inventory with a large digital library of television programming and movie titles that can be securely manufactured on demand to DVD complete with full-color artwork and disc packaging. Demonstrations of the TitleMatch solution are available by appointment in Sonic�s private meeting room at the Renaissance Hotel (Copa Conference Suite A and B) during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), January 8th to the 12th, Las Vegas, NV. �Sonic�s DVD On Demand platform with Qflix, RipGuard, and ACP content protection will give us the ability to expand our content libraries to include high-quality Hollywood movies, television series, and specialty programs,� said Syd Dufton, President of TitleMatch Entertainment. �Our new TitleMatch DVD-on-demand systems will enable our retail and e-tail partners to expand their product offering and provide their customers a unique shopping experience, while at the same time reducing the risk and cost of maintaining a large physical inventory.� Sonic�s DVD On Demand platform incorporates Qflix, the industry-standard copy protection system for recordable CSS on DVDs, as well as Macrovision�s RipGuard and ACP content protection technology. As the content protection mechanism used on commercially mass-produced discs and incorporated into all DVD players today, CSS has been deemed essential by many major Hollywood studios for the on-demand digital distribution of premium entertainment. Macrovision�s RipGuard and ACP technologies, deployed on over 5 billion DVDs worldwide to date, help to further safeguard studio content by protecting discs against digital ripping and analog copying. The new TitleMatch systems will allow retailers to burn video content in stores and at distribution centers at the time orders are placed. For online orders, consumers will browse and select available titles from an e-tailer's website with orders produced at product distribution centers, store locations or by TitleMatch Entertainment using the TitleMatch Factory�. At retail stores, consumers can browse and select available products from multimedia touch-screen display terminals located on the sales floor. Orders are produced behind the counter by store personnel on the TitleMatch Factory in minutes. �We are entering an exciting new phase in entertainment delivery that helps the industry keep pace with consumers� requests for more entertainment choice and greater control over how, when, and where they enjoy it,� said Jim Taylor, general manager of Sonic�s Advanced Technology Group. �With the inclusion of Qflix, RipGuard, and ACP, TitleMatch represents a secure and compelling digital distribution option for content owners.� About TitleMatch Entertainment A division of Protocall Technologies Incorporated (OTCBB:PCLI), TitleMatch Entertainment Group is the innovator of on-demand content distribution.
