QuesTec to Introduce Internet Broadcasting for '99

Deer Park, N.Y. Tuesday, December 15, 1998 - QuesTec Imaging, Inc.
(QuesTec), (NASD-BB: QSTI), announces that it will offer real-time internet
broadcasting for its television broadcast line of virtual replay products.
QuesTec will now be able to broadcast real-time information to remote
studios for integration into the televised production of live sporting events,
tape delayed events, remote production of pre- and post-event analysis and
for regular scheduled news programming. Networks will now be able to
produce and replay key events and unique situations with customized
versions of SuperVision(SM), GolfProView(TM), and TennisProView(TM).
Until now visiting networks have been forced to either accept or cut special
production enhancements like QuesTec's products due to conflicts with
graphic format, language issues for international broadcasts and sponsorship
rights.

In late August, QuesTec was contracted by ACTV Inc. (ACTV), (NASDAQ
IATV), to provide its SuperVision production service as a channel of content
for the September 15, 1998 double-header between the New York Mets and
the Houston Astro's as part of ACTV's "Individualized Television" digital
network. ACTV produces individualized programming by combining different
video, graphic and/or audio signals into one multi-path telecast. Viewers see
and/or hear only one of the signals at a given moment; the others remain
transparent. For these games, ACTV held a demonstration at the All Star
Café in New York City to display their technology to broadcast networks and
investment banking firms. In addition to providing ACTV with its standard
SuperVision production service, QuesTec set up a Silicon Graphics
workstation at the All Star Café and delivered real-time virtual replays from
data transmitted over the internet.

"Our internet broadcast to the All Star Café was QuesTec's first real-time
transmission of data over the internet. This now allows us to provide clients
like ACTV real-time graphic content without the downlink expense
associated with standard video transmission. Its not just for TV anymore,"
stated Ron Klimkowski, sports marketing QuesTec. Potential customers for
QuesTec's real-time data and virtual replay systems are professional
leagues, individual teams, international and national sports broadcasters,
regional sports broadcasters, interactive television, web based television
services, interactive stadium seats, video game developers, statistical
services, video indexing services, internet broadcasters and sports news
providers.

"We will now be able to provide our clients with customized virtual replay
systems for multi-broadcast events. An Australian sports production can now
be transmitted to multiple world wide production sites where QuesTec
graphics applications can display customized graphics and performance
analysis for local television. This offers our clients a unique and affordable
way to personalize their productions for fractions of the expense for on-site
personnel. This will allow QuesTec to provide services to numerous
broadcasters of the same event, each with customized graphics to match
the colors, fonts and textures of their own production," explained Michael W.
Russo, president of QuesTec.

QuesTec develops and markets proprietary software systems that capture,
render, and display real-time graphic simulations that can be applied to
sports entertainment, display media, business and industry.

>>.But automakers such as Chevy and Volvo allowed me a choice of which ad I wanted to see at the next break: a spot for a family sedan, a truck, an SUV or the latest compact. <<

Beautiful!

Took him about 8 innings to get good at it.

Took me about 8 months to get good at the internet and I still have lots of trouble.

Like that hockey fight cam mentioned on the promo by Fox. They'll be airing that on tv.
Scouting report(The Box) was a neat idea.
