| About Simplay HDTM
The Simplay HD Testing Program is designed for leading
consumer electronics (CE) manufacturers and technology providers. The
Simplay HD Testing Program is designed to give consumer peace of mind.
Products that pass have been verified to meet the Simplay HD Testing Program
requirements, including the Simplay HD Compatibility Test Specification,
and are licensed to use the Simplay HD logo. Through this cooperative
effort between Simplay and the leading CE manufacturers and technology
providers, consumers making home theater purchases are assured that systems
bearing the Simplay HD logo have been tested for High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection (HDCP) functionality in conjunction with HDMI- all
of this helping to maximize compatibility and readiness to receive and
play all types of digital content.

| The Simplay HD Testing
Program is open to all manufacturers of consumer electronics devices implementing
HDMI/HDCP including HDTV's, DTV's, Set-Top Boxes (STB's), DVD players, A/V
receivers and cables. The program also maintains broad industry support
from a variety of leading digital content providers including The Walt Disney
Company, Fox, Universal and Warner Bros.
While major motion picture studios support HDMI
with HDCP for the rendering of their premium digital content, HDCP is
not a requirement for HDMI-compliant home theater components. The Simplay
HD Testing Program provides a means - through product testing and logo
usage - for consumers to know that the products they purchase have been
tested to receive and play premium digital content.
