o Japan's Nikon to Cease Production of Most Film Cameras

Tokyo - Japanese camera manufacturer Nikon announced on Thursday that it plans to essentially end production of its film cameras and instead focus on digital camera technology, following the lead of competitors including Canon and Kodak. The company will soon produce only two film-based cameras, and also plans to halt production of most of its traditional film camera lenses. Nikon spokesman Akira Abe told The New York Times that film cameras accounted for just 3% of sales at Nikon's camera division in its last fiscal year, down 16% from the previous year, while digital cameras now generate 75% of sales.

o IBM, Sony, Toshiba Extend Pact That Produced PlayStation's "Cell" Processor

Tokyo - IBM, Sony and Toshiba announced that they have renewed a joint venture to develop advanced chips for consumer electronics, their first collaboration having resulted in the Cell processor that will power Sony's PlayStation 3 video game console. The companies invested a total of about $400 million to develop the Cell over the last five years; the new five-year agreement will focus on even smaller chips. "This is a winning combination," said Masashi Muromachi, president and CEO of Toshiba's semiconductor division. "With Toshiba's cutting-edge process technology and manufacturing capabilities, Sony's various semiconductor technologies and deep knowledge of consumer markets and IBM's state-of-the-art material technology, we can anticipate breakthrough process technologies for the 32-nanometer generation and beyond."

o Report: Spitzer's Digital Music Probe Centered on Labels' Price Guarantees

Los Angeles - New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer's ongoing probe into digital music price-fixing is centering on the "most-favored nation" status that record labels have demanded when licensing their songs to online services, ensuring they get the same rates as their rivals, the Los Angeles Times reported on Thursday. "Some of the major labels have proposed and re-proposed and insisted on the inclusion in their licenses of most-favored nations clauses which would grant that label the benefits and pricing negotiated by a competing label," Jonathan Potter, executive director of the Digital Media Assn., which represents Apple, Yahoo and others, told the Times. "Collusion has never been known to lower prices." While executives at some music companies told the Times that such clauses have not been activated, executives at online music retailers said they have been enacted several times -- to ensure a label gets the highest-price download, or even mandate that a retailer exert equal marketing efforts to promote a label's artists.

o European Experts Launch Internet Search Engine Quaero

Paris - According to a report by the Associated Press (AP), a group of experts in France and Germany has launched a new Internet search engine called Quaero that is being touted as Europe's answer to Google. Although Quaero is still composed of only a small number of researchers in laboratories across France and Germany, the group told AP their aim was to build the world's most advanced multimedia search engine. Designers also said that Quaero, which means "to search" in Latin, would be not just a search engine, but "a set of tools for translating, identifying and indexing images, sound and text". Corporate and academic partners on the project include Thomson, Deutsche Telekom, Bertin Technologies and the University of Karlsruhe.

o Screener DVD Regional Coding Snafu Hurts BAFTA Chances for "Munich"

London - A regional coding conflict on DVD screener copies of Steven Spielberg's film "Munich" sent to voters for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts means that the film -- not yet released in Britain -- will likely not garner many BAFTA Awards nominations, which close today, the Associated Press reported. The DVDs sent to BAFTA voters bore the regional code of the United States, meaning they would not play in U.K. DVD players. Regional coding of DVDs is intended to stymie foreign DVD imports and maintain the studios' home video release windows. Premier PR, the firm representing U.K. distributor United International Pictures, claimed fault for the mistake. Premier's Sara Keene acknowledged to the Associated Press that the error could very well reduce the film's chances for awards nominations.

o British Library Offers Digitized, Multimedia Version of Mozart Manuscript

London - The British Library on Thursday announced the launch of a digitized version of a manuscript penned by Mozart, allowing users to browse the handwritten manuscript containing 30 pages and 75 musical introductions to the composer's works. The digitized excerpt from Mozart's "Catalog of all my Works" allows users to click and listen to the opening bars of well-known Mozart compositions like "The Magic Flute" and "The Marriage of Figaro," in addition to works recorded for the first time for the library's website.

o Digimarc to Support File-Sharing Trade Group's Watermarking Forays

Beaverton, Ore. - Digimarc, a developer of digital watermarking technology used in copyright protection, announced on Thursday that it is offering support to the new P2P Digital Watermarking Working Group of the Distributed Computing Industry Association (DCIA), a trade group of 72 file-sharing software providers and related companies that includes Sharman Networks, Grokster and Shared Media Licensing. Last week, the DCIA released a letter in which it stated that digital watermarking "offers meaningful resolution to the issue at hand," agreeing with the Supreme Court's assessment of the technology in its landmark Grokster file-sharing verdict. "We are pleased that the DCIA has recognized digital watermarking as an effective tool for identifying copyrighted entertainment content, including music, movies and images, for the purpose of deterring copyright infringement," said Digimarc executive vice president Reed Stager. "As a pioneer and leader in digital watermarking, we are happy to support this initiative."

o Wireless Streaming Media Developer StreamerNet Raises $1 Million

Leesburg, Va. - StreamerNet, a provider of streaming media tools and services, disclosed on Thursday that it has raised $1 million in private equity financing over the past several months, including a $500,000 round that closed in late December. The company, which did not disclose further details, has now completed three rounds of funding. William Hornbeck, the president and CEO of StreamerNet, said that the recent financings "strengthen our cash position and allow us to aggressively pursue new business opportunities and market development." Hornbeck said that most of the money the company raised prior to 2005 went toward research and development. StreamerNet has developed software and services that allow users to wirelessly transmit video directly from the field to the Internet.
