Then again Anthony Tobin was doing a favor for Chequemate International, d.b.a. C-3D Digital, Inc., since the 800 number also leads to Veritas. Anyone care to bet ZSUN owns Chequemate in their portfolio. I would bet my last dollar that I am right. And lookie here, Blaine Harris, C-3D Digital founder and Chairman. Blain is also from Fountain Fresh library.northernlight.com Go figure. Is he related to Mark Harris of Veritas? I will give you odd's C-3D Digital, Inc. to Acquire Strata 3D Broadcaster Gains Premier Technology Salt Lake City, Utah, January 4, 1999 -- C-3D Digital, Inc. announced today that it has entered into an agreement in principle to acquire the technology and principal assets of Strata Inc., a premier name in 3D computer graphics. This will broaden the new company's line of patented 3D technology for broadcast video and the internet. C-3D Digital, Inc. is an advanced technology-oriented company in the communication and entertainment industries. On 1 January 1999, C-3D Digital launched III Network, the world's first television network to exclusively offer 3D programming to satellite dish owners, cable TV subscribers, and pay-per-view lodging guests. The Strata tool line has been used for such well-known projects as the game MYST; television shows like Hercules, Xena, and MTV's Movie Awards; the NBC dancing peacock spots; websites for Warner Brothers' and Blockbuster; feature films such as Contact, 5th Element, and Batman Forever; and many others. Strata's software provides C-3D Digital with some of the most advanced 3D technology available and further establishes C-3D Digital's leadership position in 3D media and technology. "By adding the Strata product line, C-3D Digital will gain not only one of the best 3D technology and R&D teams in the industry, but gains access to tens of thousands of 3D artists world-wide. This gives us a critical leadership advantage in providing true 3D technologies and content for the web and digital TV." -- Mike Heil, C-3D Digital CEO C-3D Digital has become a leader in true stereoscopic media. With the world's first 3D television network and C-3D Digital's patented technology, the company will be airing sporting events, live broadcasts, feature films, and other original content in full stereoscopic 3D. The Strata product line is expected to add substantial revenue to C-3D Digital within the first quarter following the acquisition. "It creates a terrific expansion of our business model. The strategic value alone is substantial, but we think the ability to sell technology and tools to the 3D content- production market represents a great revenue opportunity; it's really selling picks and shovels to 3D digital miners." -- Blaine Harris, C-3D Digital founder and Chairman. Heading up the Strata division will be Ken Bringhurst, co-founder of Strata Inc. "This is one of those rare opportunities to ride the crest of an exploding industry and technology. We've been there before when we began Strata 10 years ago and virtually created the boom in 3D graphics for the desktop market. Today, as DV, web and broadcast technologies converge, we're joining C-3D in building an exciting future in stereoscopic 3D. C-3D is a superbly-led company with advanced technology, market savvy, and a far-reaching vision. Our entire team is excited to help lead the way in this cutting-edge new media." -- Ken Bringhurst, Strata co-founder For more information call Strata at (800) 678-7282, or visit the new website, www.3d.com.
