Abstract
This IDC study examines the growth of the network-enabled video
devices market in the United States and worldwide. The study
focuses on the key drivers and inhibitors of networked video
entertainment in the home and the primary video-centric devices that
will facilitate the sharing of content. The study contains forecasts
of network-enabled digital video recorders (DVRs), DVD players and recorders,
digital televisions, and video-centric media adapter and media server devices.
"Networked
video applications in the home have begun to hit their
stride, with device vendors finally packaging the right mix of
content services, user interfaces, price points, and messaging to reel
consumers in. The technology to do this has been with
us, but only now has the industry begun to hit
its stride in implementation," says Jonathan Gaw, research manager of
IDC' s Connected Home program.
