SAN CARLOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 12, 2000--
ImaginOn announces new installations for Adelphia, the College of
San Mateo, the Detroit Lions, Fluent Communications, Haggingroup,
Syllabus magazine, and the Wonderful World of Flying.
ImaginOn, Inc. (NASDAQ:IMON) (www.imaginon.com) today announced that its ImOn.comTV(TM)
interactive Internet "television station in a box" is now being installed for a broad range of clients,
including Adelphia, the College of San Mateo, the Detroit Lions, Fluent Communications, Haggingroup
(a division of shopnow.com, Inc.), Syllabus magazine, and the Wonderful World of Flying.
"Market demand for our ImOn.comTV interactive Internet 'television station in a box' continues to
develop at a rapid pace," explained ImaginOn Chief Executive Officer David Schwartz. "From
magazine publishers to colleges to communications companies and sports franchises, the ImOn.com
marketing message is beginning to take hold -- and for good reason. Nobody else I know of offers a
complete and turnkey product that turns any existing Web site into an interactive TV station on the
broadband Internet."
Featuring from 20 to 200 unique, simultaneous video streams at list prices ranging from $35,000 to
$84,000, each ImOn.comTV station is a turnkey Web server that enables any Web site, including
business and content owner sites, to present interactive television within a standard browser window
on any computer with high-bandwidth Internet access. ImOn.comTV's Virtual TV Console is
customized for each client, offering its users video-on-demand, viewer-directed video branching,
instant e-commerce links and automated Web searching.
According to Schwartz, it is the wide range of ImOn.comTV users that is most impressive. "We have
implemented an aggressive seven channel sales and marketing strategy targeting broadcast,
education, e-commerce, publishing, corporate training, telemedicine, and adult entertainment. To
date, we have established footholds in four of these target channels. We consider that a major
achievement, underscoring our long-term perspective, which is that interactive television on the Web
will become the first border-free global TV standard used by everyone who wants to communicate
more effectively."
The pace of ImaginOn's seven channel marketing program will accelerate in the third and fourth
quarters, as the company plans to exhibit at ten more trade shows between August and December
2000.
