GalleryPlayer, a company perhaps best known for the on-demand galleries of high-definition 1080p imagery it offers on Comcast's HD VOD platform (note: last year, the company announced that consumer electronics giant, Panasonic, was incorporating support for its service into its entire 2007 line of plasma and HD TV sets), has signed a deal with Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America that will see it embedding its proprietary technology into 2008 Mitsubishi HDTV sets, set to launch this spring.
The integration will allow Mitsubishi HDTV customers to access and view GalleryPlayer's library of rights-protected fine art and photography. "At this year's CES, we saw more and more TV manufacturers launching new models with features that either connect the TV to the Internet or feature USB interfaces to enable the playback of high value digital content," GalleryPlayer founder and president, Paul Brownlow, said in a prepared statement. "We are extremely pleased to be partnering with Mitsubishi and today's announcement further validates how the industry is seeing the revenue-generating potential in digital content." In addition to integrating GalleryPlayer's technology into its new line of HDTV sets, Mitsubishi will work with GalleryPlayer to create a co-branded Web site, from which Mitsubishi HDTV customers can access the latter's online store and download, manage and export images.
