SAN
CARLOS, CALIFORNIA, June 22, 2000 -- Asserting that the
era of interactive TV on the Web is now at hand, ImaginOn,
Inc. (NASDAQ: IMON, www.imaginon.com) today announced that
it will showcase three instant interactive Internet television
packages at PC EXPO 2000 in New York, at Booth #3488 in
the Jacob Javits Convention Center. The show opens on June
27, 2000 and runs through June 29, 2000.
Featuring
from 20 to 200 unique, simultaneous video streams at prices
ranging from $35,000 to $84,000, each ImOn.comTV station
is a turnkey server solution that enables any Web site,
including business and content owner sites, to present interactive
television within a standard browser window on any suitably
connected computer. ImOn.comTV's built-in private labeled
Virtual TV Console offers users video-on-demand, viewer-directed
video branching, automated Web searching, and many additional
features customized for each client.
"ImOn.comTV
made its initial debut at the 1999 Fall ISPCON Show in San
Jose, California, where it was greeted with enthusiastic
support," ImaginOn Chief Executive Officer David Schwartz
said today. "From there, we refined our product marketing
strategy at NAB 2000, creating three basic instant Internet
TV packages that include everything a client will need to
launch their first Internet television station: a high performance
server, Java client-server software, authoring software,
starter content, training, and a year of support and upgrades.
These packages will be showcased at PC EXPO 2000."
The
implications of this technology, Schwartz emphasized, for
the entire television, computing, training, education, and
e-commerce industries are vast and profound. Consumers watching
an ImOn.comTV-enabled broadcast/Webcast will be able to
click-on to any Web site linked to a show they are watching.
These links could be to Web sites on the actors, e-commerce
sites for product purchases, network sites, or anyplace
on the Web. Television advertisers will be able to create
a whole new kind of commercial that directly integrates
the Web into the television spot, involving the viewer in
making a choice, while the commercial is playing, that directly
connects them to specific Web addresses. Product marketers
will be able to measure the effectiveness of their television
advertising in real time because they will be able to see
instantaneously how many people click on a link that is
embedded within the commercial.
"The
bottom line is this," Schwartz asserted. "ImOn.comTV can
put any traditional broadcaster, e-business, content owner,
and training center into the interactive Internet television
business overnight. Companies that have libraries of video
content will be able to launch specialized Internet television
stations, using their own video, processed by our ImaginAuthor
authoring tool, the key tool that enables video branching,
content-sensitive search capabilities, and e-commerce linkage
for existing video footage." According to Schwartz, ImOn.comTV
instant interactive Internet television packages are available
for fast delivery. "Depending on the package selected and
the amount of look and feel customization required by the
client, we can ship anywhere within six weeks from the date
of purchase," said Schwartz.
