Today's consumers are demanding higher-quality content than ever before—as well as more effective and efficient ways to discover, manage, access, and enjoy their digital media. Macrovision offers a number of solutions to help consumer electronics (CE) manufacturers meet the challenges faced by consumers building broad digital libraries. Using Macrovision technologies and resources, CE manufacturers can deliver the optimal digital entertainment experience by building devices that communicate with each other and enable people to easily find, access, and manage their content.

Macrovision Connected Platform solutions help digital media device manufacturers connect their devices to the Internet and home networks. With Macrovision's industry-leading embedded technologies, digital media located in a central location can now be enjoyed in various rooms around the house. CE devices such as set-top boxes and digital TVs can talk with each other seamlessly, providing consumers whole-home access to their media, as well as real-time, out-of-home access to media through mobile phones and portable devices.

Today's consumers are inundated with an expanding number of choices in content, channels, and viewing platforms—making it more and more difficult to find out "what's on" and where to go to watch it. Macrovision' interactive program guides (IPGs) provide CE manufacturers and mobile carriers with interactive, on-screen listings to help viewers navigate, sort, select, and schedule television programming—providing consumers with an optimal viewing experience.

As consumers are faced with more and more digital media options, they are increasingly looking for ways to manage, personalize, and deepen their digital entertainment experience. New ways to access, discover, and organize entertainment content help to enhance overall consumer enjoyment of music, movies, photos, and video programming. Macrovision metadata and media recognition solutions enable companies to deliver a more robust media experience to consumers—both inside and outside of the home.

Macrovision's interactive program guides (IPGs) enable consumers to discover relevant, new content and navigate to the programming that interests them most. Macrovision licenses IPG technology to third party guide developers, including cable and satellite providers, consumer electronics manufacturers, set-top box manufacturers, interactive television software providers, and program guide providers in the online, computer, and mobile phone businesses.
