Mercedes Cup
DEER PARK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 23,
1999--QuesTec Imaging, Inc. (NASD-BB: QSTI) and Live Motion Company (LMC) of Wiesbaden,
Germany announce the use of TennisProView by ARD First German Television for their international
and national coverage of the quarter-, semi- and final matches of this year's Mercedes Cup, Stuttgart,
Germany, July 23 - 25.
QuesTec will once again work with LMC to produce on-air serve analysis and virtual replays during
this year's tournament. TennisProView is a real-time video and computer-based tracking and scoring
system that creates virtual replays for television and a behind-the-scenes analysis tool for
commentators. TennisProView will be available for all pre-match, match and post-match coverage of
center court action. This year's Mercedes Cup television audience will be treated to a unique
perspective of different types of serves, match serve patterns, aces and close line calls.
This event is QuesTec's ninth televised production featuring TennisProView and the fourth European
Tennis production produced by QuesTec and LMC. QuesTec and LMC debuted TennisProView at the
1998 ATP World Championship, Hannover, Germany. Since its debut, TennisProView has been
featured during the Sybase Open, Kroger/St. Jude, Franklin Templeton, Lipton Championship, Family
Circle Cup, French Open and the Gerry Weber Open.
''We are very pleased with our TennisProView productions,'' stated Felix Marggraff, principle of
LMC. ''The response to the unique presentation offered by TennisProView has been overwhelming.
We are anticipating a strong close to the 1999 season here in Europe, and are already responding to
requests for events in 2000. The dynamics of QuesTec's technology and experience allow us to
provide our clients with a tremendous product that can easily be customized for each tournament.''
Ares Donzelli, tennis announcer for ZDF German Television, said ''TennisProView is truly
revolutionary for tennis broadcasting. Its features allow us to present our audience with fast
representations of key events during the match. TennisProView's ability to instantly display players'
serves and strategies allows us to better inform our viewers.''
QuesTec's TennisProView technology is the only interactive real-time, virtual replay system available
for live televised tennis. TennisProView instantly captures, quantifies, and displays the speed, path and
location of serves. QuesTec's TennisProView is currently being marketed to television networks and
