About Studio PCTV

Studio PCTV's bus-mastering design enables the user to watch TV in a window while he works, surf
the Internet, or read email. Studio PCTV is ideal for people who want to receive broadcast and Internet
information simultaneously. The included Studio video editing software allows the user to remember
the important moments on video -- weddings, graduations, vacations and other special events.

The user then creates his own video, turning long camcorder tapes into entertaining highlight videos.
Sharing videos with family and friends is easy via email or a web-page. Studio lets the user capture
video, add titles and transitions, and include narration and background music. The final video can be
output in a variety of formats -- AVI, MPEG1, or RealVideo -- depending on the user's application.

Here is the same information as from john b, from a Yahoo!
He said a while back that there would be some good news to announce on the 8th over and above the fact that AXC made the Russell 2000.

I had my doubts. Let justice be done: he came through.
