Nero 2014, The Next-gen multimedia suite for the next-gen gaming consoles: PS4 and Xbox One-ready
Our December update helps you prepare your media library today: This latest update to Nero Recode – our multi-format converter – and Nero MediaHome – our multimedia management and streaming tool – helps you convert virtually any multimedia file into a PS4/Xbox One compatible format or stream directly to the console via DLNA*. “With gaming consoles pushing hard to be the center of the living room, we’re preparing early adopters who are looking into ways to stream or play TV shows, movies, music and pictures from PCs to the PS4 or Xbox One.” Says Oliver Schneider, Vice President Suite Business at Nero. “But we didn’t stop there: Basically all the hot gadgets you found under the Christmas tree are now supported”. To help gamers and enthusiasts alike, Nero now includes tailored video conversion profiles to get the best resolution, compatible formats and best audio for:
– Smartphones: iPhone 5C/S, Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One, Samsung Galaxy Note 2/3
– Tablets: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, Kindle Fire HDX, iPad Air, iPad Mini with Retina Display
All your content can be converted to play back on your gaming console, smartphone or tablet or streamed. This update makes it easier to squeeze down content more suitable for new devices to save space and get the best possible picture and audio quality – on the go or in your living room!
Note: While the Xbox One includes DLNA video capabilities from the get-go, PS4 users will have to wait for now until both USB and DLNA playback of video files is supported. In any case, Nero users will be ready for when the day comes.
