CyberLink PowerDVD 18 Supports Ultra HD Blu-ray and 4K HDR

CyberLink today released PowerDVD 18, the latest version of its flagship movie and media player for 4K high dynamic range (HDR), Ultra-HD Blu-ray, virtual reality (VR), 360o and online streaming content.

With the trend moving from full HD to 4K, PowerDVD 18 supports the latest video formats, including Ultra HD Blu-ray, HDR 10 content and HEVC/H.265 videos.

Users who don't yet own a VR headset can now watch 360o video on their PC with a new viewing mode enabling users to see every angle simultaneously. Now boasting integrated playback support for both YouTube and Vimeo 360o, PowerDVD 18 brings a world of VR content straight to user's headsets or PCs. This extends to owners of new Windows Mixed Reality headsets who can access the same library of online 360o video through CyberLink's Power Media Player MR app.

In addition, PowerDVD 18 brings a new "Mini View" player to the program. This feature keeps the player on top of other windows, ensuring uninterrupted viewing of local or online videos. When coupled with the new YouTube Live integration, the Mini View player allows users to multitask on their PCs.

PowerDVD also now supports Fire TVT casting, in addition to Roku, Apple TV and ChromecastT streaming devices. It offers an easy way to send movies, music and photos wirelessly from PCs to a TV. By using PowerDVD, users can apply CyberLink's TrueTheater HDR, Color and Sound technologies to any streamed media content for playback.

Key Features of PowerDVD 18 include:

PowerDVD 18 is available today from the CyberLink online store in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Russian and Portuguese.
