AVerMedia, the preeminent name in digital multimedia technology, has signed a distribution agreement with GenMe, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of DDD Group plc (AIM: DDD; OTCQX: DDDGY), the advanced imaging and 3D solutions company, for their TriDef® SmartCam™ for use with AVerMedia’s Live Gamer EXTREME (LGX) game capture and streaming solution. This is a three-year, non-exclusive affiliate agreement that will operate on a revenue share basis between AVerMedia and GenMe.
 
GenMe’s TriDef SmartCam is an application that removes background and applies filters in real-time using conventional webcams. TriDef SmartCam is an easy and low cost alternative to the ‘green screen’ method for gamers to overlay their real-time image onto the game screen.
 
AVerMedia’s LGX is an advanced capture and streaming solution for gamers. It captures 1080p uncompressed video at up to 60 fps with ultra-low latency over USB 3.0. LGX features HDMI pass-through, audio mix-in, and a customizable top plate. The bundled RECentral 2 software allows users to upload and share their gameplay 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 our 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.com website. After a fourteen day free trial, LGX users will be able to purchase TriDef SmartCam for US$9.99.
 
Adding TriDef SmartCam’s real-time background removal capabilities to RECentral 2’s powerful and flexible game capturing, LGX users will be able to record and broadcast gameplay video with an overlay of their real-time image without a green screen setup.
 
 
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 TriDef SmartCam. 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.”
 
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.”
