Rovi unveils Digital Copy solution

TV technology company Rovi has used CES to unveil the Rovi Digital Copy solution. This is designed to enable consumers to access their physical DVD and Blu-ray Disc movie collections via the cloud.

Rovi Digital Copy Solution integrates into consumer electronics devices and PC applications, allowing them to recognise a movie on physical disc, authenticate its origin, and then trigger access to a copy from a cloud-based library, including the UltraViolet Digital Library. Digital copies can then be accessed by consumers on a range of enabled connected devices that may include HDTVs, Blu-ray Disc players, set-top boxes, game consoles, smartphones, tablets, and PCs.
