Good morning coopie. Another staggering Innovacon press release. ;-) In other news, new DVD manufacturing equipment introduced by Fairchild. This is good for DVD infrastructure....................... Fairchild Technologies Introduces New Family of Optical Disc Manufacturing Solutions at Hong Kong Show FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 5, 1997-- CONVAC Products are Adaptable to a Wide Range of Optical Disc Formats Fairchild Technologies, a wholly owned operating unit of The Fairchild Corporation (NYSE:FA), today unveiled a new line of optical disc manufacturing systems at the REPLItech Asia trade show in Hong Kong. Designed to grow with the changing needs of disc replicators, the Fairchild Technologies products are upgradable from compact disc (CD) to digital versatile disc (DVD), and from recordable compact disc (CD-R) to recordable digital versatile disc (DVD-R), from two basic platforms. Being shown for the first time is the 8800 line of equipment, the most flexible CD replication line on the market. The 8800S Single Line system features a cycle time as short as 2.8 seconds with an upgraded metallizer, and is compatible with most molding machines, metallizers and quality inspection systems specified by customer requirements. The 8800S may be upgraded to either an 8800T Twin Line system for CDs, a fully automated model with a very fast 2.0-second cycle time, or to an 8800D replication system for DVD production, available in either Single Line (8800DS) or Twin Line (8800DT) configuration. Fairchild Technologies rounds out its CD product offerings with the 3600 CD replication line, a low-cost entry-level system. The second line of Fairchild Technologies' production solutions is built around the Company's CD-R system, a proven workhorse for CD-R replication that features state-of-the-art disc transport and handling equipment to maximize profitability while minimizing required factory floor space. The CD-R is upgradable to the Company's newly introduced DVD-R, single recordable DVD production system. With the CD-R, replicators who are presently producing CD-R format discs can move into the next era of DVD-R production, without making a major capital investment. All of the Company's CONVAC products feature a proprietary coating process that increases production yields, and an integrated, controlled "mini-environment" that reduces exposure to temperature and humidity variations. Fairchild Technologies also provides factory service and support for all the Company's optical disc manufacturing systems. "For nearly 20 years, the CONVAC name has stood for quality and innovation in the optical disc equipment industry," said William T. Liggett, president of Fairchild Technologies Optical Disc Equipment Group division. "Now, with the strength and resources of The Fairchild Corporation behind us, we look forward to our emerging role as a global leader in the optical disc business." Fairchild Technologies operates worldwide, with manufacturing, sales, distribution or customer service facilities in Europe, Japan, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and the U.S. The Company designs and manufactures leading-edge equipment for the optical disc and semiconductor manufacturing industries. Fairchild Technologies' broad range of products includes a full line of state-of-the-art optical disc manufacturing equipment, as well as high-performance microlithography wafer tracks and low-K dielectric processing equipment for semiconductor manufacturing.

Coopie your right about Innovacom,ther are going to exploit the market!Dont be surprised to see Hambrecht and Quist join the bandwagon soon. SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BW HealthWire)--Nov. 5, 1997--A new two-way medical imaging and conferencing system that will permit diagnosis and case management by pathologists, traumatologists and other specialists from home or other remote locations using MPEG-2 compressed video over Ethernet or other data links will be introduced by InnovaCom, Inc. (OTC/BB:MPEG) at TeleCon XVII in Anaheim, Nov. 5-7, 1997. John J. Champlin, M.D., recently named to InnovaCom's Board of Directors, said the new system, called DTP-Digital TelePresence, is unique in that it combines the newest MPEG-2 compressed digital video technology from InnovaCom, with state-of-the-art transmission options that include Local Area and Wide Area Networks, phone company data lines, small satellite distribution as well as Ethernet connections. ''In developing this product a major objective has been to combine the newest technologies to introduce more practical ways for the medical community to deliver tertiary care capabilities to hospitals and practices in remote locations. ''Traumatologists, for instance, can diagnose patients on our DTP two-way system from any distant location, including their homes. Applications for pathologists, specialists and direct support of mid-level practitioners are numerous,'' he added. ''The picture quality and lower transmission costs of InnovaCom's MPEG-2 technology are significant.'' Mark C. Koz, InnovaCom president and chairman, said the company's Digital TelePresence as used in medical diagnostics is yet another application of MPEG-2 video compression technology in what is becoming a rapidly expanding marketplace. ''The use of compressed video over professional networks in the field of medicine, as well as related corporate intranet uses, is grounded in present day economic models and is designed to meet immediate market requirements,'' Koz said. Digital TelePresence data systems can be decoded and received on most Pentium-based computers on existing networks. The system works with standard computers using InnovaCom's MPEG-2 video compression card. DTP systems will be available in 90 days. InnovaCom's booth number at TeleCon is 1805-7. InnovaCom, Inc. is a leading developer of MPEG-2 products for broadcast quality video compression. InnovaCom's single-chip MPEG-2 encoder, scheduled for shipment the first quarter of 1998, for satellite, cable, broadcast, and consumer applications will exceed the performance of currently available multichip solutions.
