North Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) January 10, 2012
BluFocus Inc., an advanced testing and certification facility specializing in the assurance of quality media products and solutions for the entertainment industry, announced today that it is the first official THX Media DirectorTM quality control (QC) facility and is also partnering with THX Ltd. as a premier facility to create content-related information or smart content required to support THX Media Director.
THX Media Director is a technology that transforms digital media into smart content, enabling televisions and other home theater devices to automatically select the most appropriate audio and video settings when playing DVDs, Blu-ray discs and other digital content, simplifying the home entertainment experience while preserving artistic intent.
In the past, BluFocus has teamed with THX to ensure THX quality standards are achieved for THX Certified Blu-ray titles, as well as to build an ecosystem of services to address the technical challenges of 3D post-production. Since their inception, BluFocus has been dedicated to improving the Blu-ray experience, and we have been pleased to work with them to meet our mutual goals of improving the consumer entertainment experience, said Rick Dean, senior vice president at THX Ltd. Our partnership with BluFocus to enhance the workflow for THX Media Director technology complements the work THX is doing with leading CE manufacturers to ensure optimal playback of picture and sound in the home, enhancing the end-users enjoyment of their digital entertainment content.
BluFocus is among the first commercial facilities to create the smart content that talks to Blu-ray players, set-top boxes, AVRs and HD displays, which enables the devices to automatically select the proper playback settings. As a quality assurance and certification leader, BluFocus is also the first official QC facility for Media Director enabled content, ensuring that the information has been implemented on the discs correctly.
Its great to be working with THX on this venture, expanding on our existing, rewarding relationship, said Paulette Pantoja, BluFocus CEO and Founder. Their interest in creating exciting technologies that simplify and enhance the consumer experience goes hand-in-hand with our mission of ensuring that the consumer only has the best quality products to choose from when spending their hard-earned money. THX Media Director is an innovative contribution to home entertainment, and we look forward to helping THX nurture its success.
