SAN CARLOS, CALIFORNIA, July 19, 2000 -- ImaginOn, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMON) (www.imaginon.com) today announced that its ImOn.comTV™ interactive Internet "television station in a box" will help move Internet television to the head of the class at the Syllabus 2000 conference and exhibition that runs from July 22-26, 2000 in San Jose, California. One of the education industry's largest gathering of teachers, administrators, and consultants, the annual Syllabus event draws thousands of attendees to its five day program of exhibits, keynote presentations, and breakout work sessions.

"We are impressed with ImaginOn's ImOn.comTV solution and with the core technology that serves as its engine," today said Syllabus Conference Manager Neal Schwartz. "We feel that interactive Internet television will play a role in the future of education. It offers an unprecedented opportunity for schools to creatively and cost-effectively repurpose existing educational materials and extend the already powerful role the Internet plays in today's classroom. It is fitting that Syllabus showcase the proper uses of this technology at this very important event for educational professionals."

"ImOn.comTV makes the next revolution in education a practical, cost-effective reality today," ImaginOn Vice President of Business Development Sue Ann von Kaeppler said today. "The world’s first interactive "television station in a box," ImOn.comTV is designed to turn a school's existing videotaped teaching materials into an online interactive Virtual Classroom -- literally overnight."

According to von Kaeppler, Syllabus magazine, sponsors of the conference and exhibition, recently became a flagship ImOn.comTV customer in the educational channel. ImaginOn will videotape three Syllabus 2000 keynote presentations and eight speaker breakout sessions, plus the exhibits. Then, the tapes will be processed with ImaginAuthor™ and become available on Syllabus magazine's new interactive Internet television station, which will be broadcasting soon from www.syllabus.com. During the conference and exhibition itself, ImaginOn will host its own Virtual Classroom demonstration at Booth #101.

Using ImaginOn's patented authoring technology and customized Virtual Console, a school's IT professionals can create a truly interactive video-based curriculum that features the real-time interactive involvement of students, a built-in-content-sensitive research engine, Web-links to pre-programmed educational sites, viewer directed video branching, automated slide-show research presentations and report formatting. Every element of a school's content program -- distance learning, sports events, student films -- can become truly interactive. With ImOn.comTV, schools can extend the power of the Internet throughout the entire school system -- while reaching out to students at home or in remote locations.

Featuring from 20 to 200 unique, simultaneous video streams at list prices ranging from $35,000 to $84,000, each ImOn.comTV station is a turnkey Web server that enables any Web site, including school, business and content owner sites, to present interactive television within a standard browser window on any computer with high-bandwidth Internet access.
