Hello all on the PVII thread. I've just learned about you guys. I've been heavly into QSTI for a while and was led to you by the similarities, and differences in our products and industries. Specifically, I found you guys by checking into who the major players are, and therefore, who the competitors are. The major players in this arena are PVII, SporTVision, Orad and QSTI. To my knowledge PVII and QSTI are the only public companies, but rumor has it that SporTVision is seeking funding to continue development, operate and possibly go public. All of these companies have the ability to do virtual advertising. Of the four Orad and PVII are the only ones aggressively marketing this technology. QSTI and SporTVision have adopted the wait and see attitude. Orad is the leader in this area. It has been generating revenues with virtual advertising in Europe and the Far East for years. Orad is an Israeli company and is the only one that produces virtual studios. For sports broadcast enhancements, all four companies play in this arena. PVII entered this game when they came out with their version of the virtual first down line. SporTVision hit the street with this first with ESPN. QSTI actually got the first press with this concept in 1995 in the Palm Beach Post. QSTI and Orad and SporTVision are the only companies that actively play in the area of motion capture and replay. Lucent Technologies has dabbled in this area, but only for corporate presence marketing purposes, not to enter the arena. In this area QSTI is the dominant player. They have thousands of hours of on air coverage in the US, Canada, Europe, Asia and South Africa. QSTI is the only company that produces true real-time virtual replays for television. They currently have products for baseball, golf and tennis. QSTI is best positioned for convergence. They did the first real-time data streaming for motion capture and recreation on the web. This ability was first announced by them last December for a project they did with IATV. Last tuesday they were the data content providers for CBS SportsLine and Major League Baseball for their web casts of the All Star Game. These are the main players, let your passion lead you but your due diligence and homework guide you.
