NEC Electronics intends to actively utilize the DivX technology and extend it to the company's future EMMA products to provide customers with the highest quality and performance solutions for system development.

Products that bear the DivX Certified logo have undergone a rigorous testing program to ensure a high-quality DivX media experience, including reliable video creation and playback, interoperability with other DivX Certified devices and the visual quality users expect from DivX.
