Panasonic Corp. plans to incorporate DivX high-definition technology in its semi-conductor chips for use in consumer electronics devices such as digital televisions, Blu-ray Disc players and in-car DVD players, according to San Diego-based DivX.

The digital media company’s DivX 7 software allows certified devices to securely playback videos, including Hollywood movies, in high-definition.

DivX earlier this month acquired AnySource Media, creator of the Internet video navigation platform for connected TVs, for $15 million.
