DDD Group PLC
GenMe signs TriDef SmartCam software distribution agreement with AVerMedia Technologies, Inc.
Los Angeles, California: GenMe Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of DDD Group plc (AIM: DDD; OTCQX: DDDGY), the advanced imaging solutions company, has signed a distribution agreement for its TriDef® SmartCam software with Taiwan-based multimedia specialist AVerMedia Technologies for use with AVerMedia's LGX Live Gamer Extreme game capture and streaming solution. This is a three-year, non-exclusive affiliate agreement that will operate on a revenue share basis between GenMe and AVerMedia.
AVerMedia's LGX Live Gamer Extreme is an advanced video capture solution specifically designed to meet the demands of state of the art video gameplay sharing. It captures 1080p uncompressed video at up to 60 frames per second with ultra-low latency, making it ideally suited to real time video gameplay capture from PCs and game consoles alike. The advanced editing features in AVerMedia's accompanying RECentral 2 software allows users to upload and share their greatest gaming moments to popular video services, such as YouTube and Twitch.

Under the terms of the agreement, AVerMedia has integrated support for the TriDef SmartCam capabilities into their RECentral 2 software to create an easy to use experience that will be promoted to new and existing LGX users as a free download from the TriDef website.
After a fourteen day free trial, LGX users will be able to purchase TriDef SmartCam for US$9.99.
By adding TriDef SmartCam's real time background segmentation capabilities, LGX users will be able to overlay the webcam image of themselves into the gameplay video they are preparing before broadcast or streaming, greatly simplifying the 'green screen' overlay process that is currently used.
Eddie Chen, Product Manager of AVerMedia, said:
"Having witnessed the rapid adoption of TriDef SmartCam by thousands of streaming gamers worldwide, AVerMedia is excited to announce that this amazing background removal feature, which works in real time and without any green screen, has been fully integrated into our new RECentral 2 software. Now with just one click, gamers will be able to make their backgrounds disappear and put themselves into the game. Adding powerful new features such as TriDef SmartCam is part of what keeps the LGX Live Gamer Extreme the best-in-class game capture device in the market."
Chris Yewdall, Chief Executive of DDD, said:
"Since introducing TriDef SmartCam to the gaming community in September last year, we have seen a positive response to the easy-to-use green screen feature that is enabled by our product. Gamecasting is a rapidly growing market thanks to platforms like Twitch and YouTube and we look forward to working with AVerMedia, one of the leading developers of game capture solutions, to bring the TriDef SmartCam capabilities to this rapidly growing audience."
