LOS ALTOS, CA (September 13, 2005) - MedioStream, a leading pioneer of multimedia software, today announced that its next generation home media solution, MVP Media Station, has been awarded official UPnP Certification by the UPnP Implementers Corporation (UIC).

MVP Media Station allows users to view any media file on their PC over their local network using any UPnP capable device. Even if a music or video file format is not compatible with the UPnP device MVP Media Station allows users to play it back by using the integrated real time Xtream Transcoder. In addition to providing the best file compatibility and fastest file conversion in the industry MVP Media Station also provides a robust media search and organization engine.

The UPnP certification of this software is an important milestone for MedioStream, validating the technical excellence of the MedioStream approach and allowing OEM partners to ship this software in complete confidence of its quality and interoperability. The first devices using MVP Media Station will be available this fall. Going forward, consumers will be able to buy MVP Media Station for any UPnP capable device and experience the ease of use and convenience of this flexible network playback solution for themselves.

"We are extremely happy that the UIC has recognized MVP Media Station in this way", said Stephane Desproges, VP of Engineering. "We have been working very hard to make sure that our next generation of home media networking software is of the highest quality and delivers an excellent end user experience. The UPnP certification indicates that we are on the right track. I think you will see some very exciting products from us in the last half of this year."

MVP Media Station follows on the success of MedioStream's first generation digital media server, Ultimate Server which started shipping with proprietary network DVD players in 2004.
