"The UPnP certification with Home Theater 3 offers a complete multimedia home entertainment solution by providing consumers the seamless ability to connect multiple devices in their home, office, or anywhere they choose and easily share TV, DVDs, music, photos, video clips, and radio in their digital home network."

InterVideo Home Theater 3 turns a PC into a complete, all-in-one digital home entertainment solution center for watching TV and DVD movies, viewing photo slideshows and listening to audio music including MP3, WAV, WMA files, and access radio channels. Included in this comprehensive software is a remote control to easily access all consumer electronic features from the comfort of their living room couch.

In addition to being UPnP Certified, InterVideo Home Theater 3 is also a standalone Intel(R) NMPR validated media client application. With the latest of its UPnP certification and Intel NMPR validation, InterVideo will continue to enhance its Home Theater software product for a complete solution of digital home networking.
