QuesTec Announces eReplays.com
Deer Park, N.Y. Wednesday, October 13, 1999 - QuesTec
Imaging, Inc. (NASD-BB: QSTI) ,announces eReplays.com.
eReplays.com is a business-to-business technology content
enabler that will revolutionize the way leagues, teams, Internet
and interactive television providers choose to entertain, inform
and educate their sports fans. eReplays.com captures, transmits
and reconstructs live action during sporting events and offers
comprehensive, unique and informative content that
complements existing information offerings as well as live
network television coverage.
eReplays (TM) are created through proprietary video- and
computer-based tracking systems designed, developed and
provided by QuesTec and its partners. These systems instantly
analyze the live game and convert that action into real-time
filtered and encrypted digital streams. This digital information is
then delivered to the sports information provider over the Internet
by QuesTec's eSports (TM) technology. The digital information is
used for the re-creation of live game action on home computers
and interactive television set-top boxes. eReplays are available
and displayed via the Internet seconds after live play. eSports
technology often allows eReplays to arrive on home computers
as quickly as the live televised production appears on viewers'
televisions. eSports-enabled applications do not require high
bandwidth connections, unlike many other multi-media
applications. A simple analog dial-up connection is all that is
necessary for this ultimate real-time viewing experience during a
live event.
"eReplays.com is the culmination of our dedicated efforts to
develop and deploy eSports-enabled content for sports
information providers. We have designed and created real-time
solutions for the convergence of digital media and sports
coverage. eReplays allows our clients to leap beyond the
convention of merely reporting, and will enable them to provide
their consumers with a unique, and informative experience",
stated Chris Malone, New Media Manager, QuesTec.
eReplays.com's first commercial application is eBaseball (TM).
eBaseball consists of real-time captured, quantified and
re-created professional baseball content. This digital real-time
information contains the speed of the pitch, the complete
trajectory of the ball in flight, plate location, quantified ball
movement, break information and type of pitch. QuesTec
provided this eSports-enabled real-time digital service during
the 1999 All Star Game from Boston's Fenway Park.
eBaseball's digital stream was actively displayed on both the
cbs.sportsline.com and majorleaguebaseball.com web sites
throughout the game.
"The creation and enablement of the distribution of our sports
content over the Internet is a milestone for QuesTec", stated
Edward Plumacher, founder, QuesTec. "Unlike our virtual replays
which appear as limited features during televised sporting
events, eReplays are designed to capture, quantify and transmit
continuous real-time digital streams. eReplays.com gives our
business-to-business clients the ability to provide displaced fans
quality content and also allows them to create a real-time
interactive environment that complements live network television
coverage."
QuesTec provides real-time motion capture, replay and analysis
products for sports entertainment, display media, business and
industry. The company develops real-time virtual replays and
eSports technology for mainstream professional sports and
entertainment. QuesTec's technology offers unique content and
visualization for the convergence of today's emerging digital
media.
