(PM) , 23.12.2008 - CyberLink PowerDVD 8 now supports S3 Graphics? ChromotionHD? 2.0 video engine -
delivering robust playback of high-definition content on consumer and professional
platforms

Fremont, California, December 23, 2008 - S3 Graphics, a leading provider of graphics and
multimedia technologies, today announced the availability of CyberLink PowerDVD 8
software for Blu-Ray? playback on the Chrome 500/400 Series graphics processors.

The combination of S3 Graphics? ChromotionHD? 2.0 video engine and CyberLink?s leading
high-definition movie playback software gives users a higher level of theatre-quality HD
video playback experience. Immersive realism in single and dual-stream (PiP) Blu-ray
playback can now be experienced on the latest desktop and mobile platforms.

CyberLink PowerDVD 8 leverages S3 Graphics ChromotionHD? technology to deliver high
quality HD decoding for the latest video Codecs, including H.264, VC-1, and MPEG2 for
Blu-ray? movies. At the core of ChromotionHD? 2.0 is a multi-functional and programmable
video/audio engine that supports a wide selection of decoding and video/audio
acceleration hardware to provide high quality processing for HD and streaming digital
video content. Eight channels of high fidelity Dolby® 7.1 digital surround sound brings
life-like qualities to the user experience.

With full bitstream decoding, inverse transform, motion compensation, and in-loop
deblocking, the S3 Graphics Chrome 400/500 Series GPUs offload HD intensive tasks from
the CPU to the GPU, making the decode process more efficient with minimizing total system
power consumption. The video engine is highly optimized with the decoding and post
processing display pipeline for simultaneous acceleration of single and multiple video
streams for crystal clear HD playback on high resolution digital displays.

"The combination of S3 Graphics and CyberLink brings to market another platform that
delivers incredible, high quality 1080p HD playback for Home Media Centers, Desktop PCs,
and mobile platforms," said Dr. Ken Weng, GM for S3 Graphics. ?The feature-rich
capabilities in the Chrome 400 and 500 Series provide the end-user with a comprehensive
multimedia experience from eye-catching HD video to the latest Dolby surround sound in a
leading performance-per-watt product.?

?We are very pleased to work with S3 Graphics to further expand the realm of exceptional
HD video viewing experience on CyberLink?s industry-leading application, PowerDVD 8,?
said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink. ?It is through technology collaboration with
hardware manufacturers like S3 Graphics can we continue to progress and innovate our line
of ultimate multimedia solutions.?
