DDD demos new 3D apps and video technologies at CES 2014

Los Angeles, California: DDD Group plc (AIM: DDD, OTCQX: DDDGY, the "Group"), the 3D solutions and advanced imaging company, will host demonstrations of the latest TriDef powered 3D mobile and Smart TV apps and newest 2D video pre-processing solutions in a suite at the Venetian Hotel at the 2014 International CES, which opens today in Las Vegas.

The latest solutions include a new TriDef 3D Smart TV app that enables popular 2D Android games to be downloaded and played in 3D on a 3D capable Smart TV. The app also enables normal video and photos to be converted to 3D automatically in a similar manner to DDD's widely used PC and smartphone/tablet solutions. The new app will be demonstrated on a Smart TV system that has been provided by one of DDD's Smart TV OEM partners based in China.

DDD will also be demonstrating a new video pre-processing solution that has resulted from the Group's partnership with InterDigital, Inc. announced in September 2013. The solution will be demonstrated on both Smart TV and the latest Google Nexus 7 Android tablet and combines DDD's depth-based video pre-processing with InterDigital's adaptive streaming technology to deliver bandwidth savings in excess of 20% when streaming 2D video to Smart TVs and smartphones/tablets.

In addition, DDD is debuting two new products at CES 2014 aimed at the growing market for connecting PCs and mobile devices to Smart TVs and the increased use of social media to share video and game experiences.

The first of these is TriDef Connect, a new Android app that augments the functions of a mobile app when a smartphone or tablet is connected to a Smart TV. DDD will be demonstrating a standard Android game operating in 2D on a Samsung Galaxy S4 mobile phone while simultaneously displaying the app in stereoscopic 3D on a wireless connected Smart TV.

In addition to 3D conversion, the TriDef Connect app can automatically reconfigure game controls to make it simpler to control a mobile game on a Smart TV.

The second product is a new social media app that allows simple one-click capture and sharing of game content on the user's social media accounts, even when the underlying game app has no social media support. The new Android app enables players to quickly capture and share their latest high scores and in-game excerpts together with a corresponding comment.

Around the show, a number of DDD's customers including Qingyuan Gadmei Electronics Technology Co. Ltd (South Hall 1-20661) and Hampoo Science & Technology Co. Ltd (South Hall 4-35450) willbe demonstrating their latest glasses-free 3D tablets with DDD's TriDef 3D video, photo and game conversion apps and Yabazam 3D streaming movie apps.

Many of the world's biggest manufacturers of consumer electronics use DDD's TriDef solutions to enable 3D in their TVs, PCs and mobile devices and to date over 36 million TriDef 3D products have been shipped by DDD's licensees worldwide.

Chris Yewdall, Chief Executive of DDD, said:

"This year we are pleased to be demonstrating our latest 2D video pre-processing solutions and Android apps, as we continue to develop technologies that complement the extensive range of products that DDD has developed and deployed in the global 3D market.

"Our latest 3D solutions deliver competitively packaged high-quality features for the emerging Smart TV market where the apps can be downloaded to the TV as an alternative to requiring a custom 3D conversion processor in the TV."

Demonstrations at CES are by appointment only.
