 Web browser company Opera Software and AwoX, a leading international
 supplier of Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) solutions,
 announced today that AwoX DLNA technology, mediaCTRL SDK, is now
 integrated into the Opera Devices SDK. This solution will enable TV
 and set-top-box manufacturers to entertain users with easy access to
 high quality content across different devices.

 What is the DLNA, and what does it mean for consumers? The Digital
 Living Network Alliance is a group of manufacturers who work on
 standards and solutions for sharing digital content on different
 consumer devices. For consumers, this means more content on more
 devices, easier. For instance, they can easily send files from their
 different networked devices, such as cameras or mobile phones, right
 to their TVs.

 The number of connected devices in homes is growing and users are
 looking for an easier way to share media among them. With the
 integration of the AwoX DLNA solution into the Opera Devices SDK,
 manufacturers can easily explore home networks to discover
 DLNA-enabled devices. This integration also gives manufacturers an
 option to use a remote user interface to give users a unified user
 interface across networked devices.

 The Opera Devices SDK allows manufacturers to develop custom browsers
 based on Opera’s powerful rendering engine. Web browsers, application
 stores, electronic program guides and other connected TV solutions
 based on the Opera Devices SDK have been deployed on a wide range of
 products such as TVs, games consoles, media players and Internet tablets.

 The Awox mediaCTRL Software Development Kit provides manufacturers
 with a complete solution to integrate the next generation of
 multimedia features in their products. It provides interoperability
 with thousands of DLNA-certified home devices. Awox mediaCTRL supports
 the leading platforms and chipsets for all advanced DLNA use and has
 been deployed in over 40 million devices.

 Opera and AwoX are exhibiting at CES 2012 in Las Vegas, January 10-13
 in the LVCC. Opera’s meeting room is located in South Hall S2, Lower
 Level, Number MP26044. AwoX’s booth is located in South Hall 3,
 Higher Level, Stand Number 31468.
