CyberLink Introduces CyberLink Live, a Remote Media Access Web Service for the Digital Lifestyle

Taipei, Taiwan----May 8, 2007----CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), a world leader in digital home solutions, today launched CyberLink Live website (www.cyberlinklive.com) to provide a means of personal media remote access and sharing consumer-generated content over the internet.

"CyberLink Live is a step forward in our vision of a complete digital lifestyle," said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink. "Based on our existing multimedia and network technologies for the digital home, CyberLink Live place-shifts a user's content from their home PCs, so they can remotely access their media on any web-browsing device. We are building an ecosystem of digital media entertainment from inside the home that can reach out to anywhere in the world."

Home PCs as the Media Server
CyberLink Live consists of a home media server application that is offered free to users. The application lets users define the media files they want to access from other web-browsing devices, thus turning the home PC into a media server. By using network media streaming technologies, users are able to access the media that resides in their home PCs via the CyberLink Live website (www.cyberlinklive.com)

Place-shifting Personal Media
CyberLink Live lets users remotely access their personal media—including live TV, video, audio, and photos—by simply logging into the CyberLink Live website. If a TV tuner is installed on the home PC, users can stream live TV programs with time-shift playback directly from the CyberLink Live website.

Media Collaboration with Friends and Family
Aside from personal access, CyberLink Live also offers a way to share photos and videos with invited friends and family. It provides a secure way for users to give other people access to the files they want to share from their home PC.

CyberLink Live is a highly interactive way to invite people to play media, and watch photos in animated slideshows. According to Alice H. Chang, "You can interact with friends and family by exchanging comments too. CyberLink Live is our first step to creating a community-based media collaboration web platform."

The CyberLink Live home media server application is offered free to users and it can be downloaded at www.cyberlinklive.com.
