ImaginOn, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMON) (www.imaginon.com) today announced that it was expanding its 2000 NAB Show introduction of its ImOn.comTV Internet television "station in a box" product line to include two additional turnkey packages that incorporate Intel Pentium(R) III and Xeon(R) microprocessors running the increasingly popular Linux(R) operating system.
Previously, the Company introduced its initial product line with three packages based on Sun Microsystems servers running the Solaris(tm) operating system.
According to ImaginOn, Inc. Vice President of Engineering Len Kain, the new Intel/Linux versions of the ImOn.comTV Internet television product will be unveiled on February 15, 2000 at the Intel Developers Forum in Palm Springs, California. The Intel/Linux ImOn.comTV packages will be available for sale at the 2000 NAB Show, April 10-13, 2000 in Las Vegas, alongside the three Sun Solaris packages already on the market.
"The Intel/Linux configurations will include every feature incorporated in the Sun Solaris ImOn.comTV models," Kain explained today. "Linux has become an increasingly viable and popular operating system within the Internet community and our support of it will only serve to make the ImOn.comTV Internet television 'station in a box' more attractive to those Internet business customers who prefer Linux servers."
The two new ImOn.comTV packages announced today include a 20-stream dual Pentium III Linux ImOn.comTV package priced at $35,000 with server and a 50-stream dual Xeon Linux package priced at $45,000 with server. The three previously announced Sun Solaris based ImOn.comTV packages include a 20-stream package priced at $35,000 with server, an 80-stream package priced at $52,000 with server, and a 200-stream version priced at $84,000 with server. Systems without servers are priced lower. Depending on the package ordered, ImOn.comTV station can be delivered within 4-6 weeks of order.
Regardless of the operating system it runs on, each ImOn.comTV station is a turnkey software on a server product that enables any website (broadcaster or content owner) to present fully interactive television within a standard browser of any suitably connected computer. According to ImaginOn Vice President of Business Development Sue Ann von Kaeppler, "Unlike previous investments you may have made in new technology and equipment, your investment in an ImOn.comTV station will generate immediate returns in new advertising revenues ,e-commerce commissions, and pay-per-view fees. All you need is the content you already own. Our patent-protected ImOn.comTV software technology will make your content truly interactive with instantaneous Web linking, viewer-directed branching video, automated Web research, and video on demand."
ImOn.comTV is designed for any cable television company or content owner who is tired of losing eyeballs @ and advertising revenues @ to the Internet. ImOn.comTV will bring both back to the cable television operator in ways that could not have been imagined before ImOn.comTV. ImaginOn will exhibit at the 2000 NAB Show in two locations: Booth L12570 in the Las Vegas Convention Center and Booth M9474 in the Sands Convention Center.
