Commenting on digEcor’s decision to develop their own products, Robert Putnam, e.Digital’s senior vice president said, “Intellectual property rights, non-recurring engineering fees, and the size of guaranteed orders were the major issues that precluded us from reaching an agreement on supplying an embedded system. While we appreciate notice of digEcor’s latest order, we understand their desire to go their own direction in order to secure their own intellectual property for the digEplayer.”

“We are proud to be the company that designed, developed, and is manufacturing (through our partners in Asia) the first portable in-flight entertainment product which is currently being used by 20 airlines,” said Fred Falk, e.Digital’s vice president of business development. “Based on our proprietary first generation DVAP, the award winning digEplayer showcases our expertise in closed system video products, content loading and playback. Its success has opened doors to new business opportunities with companies who share our desire to exploit new markets for closed system video products utilizing our proprietary next generation DVAP.”
