The Hollywood industry bet on the Internet compared to DVD

The biggest film industry have taken advantage of the technology focus is on the CES to announce the DVD as a format over from popular video consumption. Ultraviolet will be a platform supported by the film studios to come, not only households but also to computers and mobile high definition. Fox, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Warner and other producers that form the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE) have reached agreement to suit the times.

After years of fruitless struggle against piracy seems that consumption will be much more personal film. The user has a profile on the service associated with your card number and pay for the movies you want to acquire. You will not have the hardware, but the possibility to see streaming as often as desired.

Streaming is a technology for watching movies (including music) in high definition via the internet without having to store any content on the device, except a small part. Requires a good connection to the Internet, but also opens up a world of possibilities for creating cross-platform catalogs.

Ie the films are in the so-called cloud, Web servers accessible to registered users. Thus, it also prevents the sharing of films on services like MegaUpload or Rapidshare, dedicated to sharing downloads private. In fact, it has even been foreseeable that a user can allow another to watch movies purchased.

Up to 6 friends can do with each title if payment who grant them appropriate permissions. The forecast for this group is that the platform begins to serve videos from mid-2011. Technology giants like Microsoft, IBM, Nokia, Samsung and Motorola have shown their support for Ultraviolet. Although the measure like the technology industry itself has created unrest among companies who fought the battle of the alleged succession between HD DVD (HD DVD) and the final winner, the Bluray which was from the beginning with support from Sony.

The inclusion of this form of reading in the PlayStation 3 was used as a gateway and technological renovation of many homes. As with many good ideas, success or failure of this bet will depend largely on the compatibility with the devices, ease of use and above all the prices right.
