E-MEDIAVISION.COM AND ORAD ANNOUNCE STRATEGIC ALLIANCE

London, England, September 9, 2005…e-mediavision.com announced today a strategic alliance with Orad Hi Tec Systems, whereby e-mediavision.com will integrate its’ industry leading presentation and broadcast graphics system, POINT-HD, with Orad’s CyberSport sport enhancement system.

Kash Acharya, Managing Director of e-mediavision.com, comments, “We are delighted to be working with Orad. This is a very promising development and plays to the strengths and expertise of both companies, giving customers more choice and fully integrated systems for HDTV sports presentation.”

CyberSport is Orad’s ultimate live sport enhancement and virtual advertisement tool that turns every sport event into an original and exciting experience. CyberSport provides a compelling and easy approach for live insertion of tied-to-the-field 3D graphics, animations and video. Regardless of camera movement the inserted object remains at its position and creates the illusion that the object is an integral part of the event.

POINT-HD is the latest generation of e-mediavision.com’s popular touch screen telestration system that allows operators to draw onto a TV picture in real time, accentuating content and creating compelling viewing. Already established worldwide as a premier sports presentation tool, POINT is in use with European Broadcasters such as BBC TV and Sky TV in UK, Sky TV in Italy, VTM in Belgium, SVT in Sweden, Canal + in Poland, HRT in Croatia as well as Dubai TV, Kuwait TV and MNet in South Africa. Applications include soccer, cricket, tennis, basketball, horse racing as well as news, weather, conferences, training, and corporate presentations.
POINT-HD addresses the need for high definition (HDTV) and is ideally suited to live productions due to its ease of operation. The control surface is a touch sensitive LCD (or Plasma for in-shot use) screen or Holo Screen with a simple graphical interface allowing fast and error free operation with simple finger tip control. With the new Nitro-Pfx 3D graphics option and the combination of POINT-2Key tool, presenters and journalists can now comment and annotate with graphics which are drawn onto the play sports surface, the graphics appear under players on the field regardless of camera motion and provides a more realistic and exciting viewer experience.
Ofir Benovici, Director of Marketing of Orad Hi Tec Systems states, "We are excited about partnering with e-mediavision.com. The integration between Points super telestration solutions and Orad's state of the art sport enhancement tools will open new dimensions for our customers".
