CyberLink Corp., innovative solutions provider for the connected media lifestyle today released CyberLink TrueTheater Enhancer that improves the playback quality of videos on YouTube™, including “High Quality” and “HD” online video content. Based on the same advanced TrueTheater Technology that is featured in CyberLink’s leading DVD player software, PowerDVD, TrueTheater Enhancer ensures YouTube™ videos can now be played at full-screen size better than ever.
YouTube™ provides a hugely popular platform for watching user-generated and professionally produced video content, however, the quality of video clips varies. CyberLink TrueTheater Enhancer dramatically improves video quality, overcoming common video quality issues that occur when video content is streamed over the web.
"CyberLink is committed to enhancing the video experience on the PC and has taken its expertise in improving video playback quality for DVDs to the field of streamed video," said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink. "YouTube™ is a convenient platform for enjoying video content streamed via the web. CyberLink TrueTheater Enhancer is designed to improve video quality on YouTube, offering a better user experience more akin to watching TV than watching online video via an Internet browser."
CyberLink TrueTheater Enhancer delivers the following video playback improvements:
- Intelligently adjusts video brightness, contrast and saturation
- Removes the "image graying" that commonly appears with online video
- Reduces video noise, making videos appear less "grainy"
- Balances skin tones, ensuring a natural appearance despite adjustment
- Sharpens onscreen text such as subtitles, making them noticeably easier to read
- Enables full-screen video playback without creating jagged edges on magnified content
The application is a plug-in for Windows Internet Explorer, providing the option for the user to compare the original YouTube™ video playback quality with the improved TrueTheater Enhancer quality.
