AVerMedia digital convergence products are bridging home entertainment platforms of the future--personal computers, televisions, and home theaters--with software- and hardware-based consumer products that support a wide range of user interests. AVerMedia solutions allow people to watch TV on their PC, turn their PC into a PVR, use an LCD monitor at a TV or with any video game console/DVD player/VCR, transfer VHS video onto DVD, share digital photos on a TV, and perform other desirable home and business tasks.
AVerMedia was chosen for the Microsoft Consumer Experience Partner Program based on its unique product set and innovative convergent media technologies. Inclusion in the program will mean exclusive exposure for AVerMedia at major international trade shows and other public events; the company will also be featured on web broadcast video segments and at the MCX Center, a permanent exhibit at Microsoft's Redmond, Wash., headquarters.
