PETERSBURG, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 12, 1997--Vela Research Inc., a leading provider of video compression products for the cable and broadcast industries, today announced the Vela Partners Program, a partnership allowing resellers and integrators across the country to access Vela's cutting-edge video compression products. The Vela Partners Program is aimed at cutting-edge video distribution companies that specialize in selling, training and servicing video solutions and broadcast products to large corporate clients as well as local area video production companies, schools, governments and small end users. Vela's outreach to these specialized outlets is designed to support an active community of MPEG users through customized programs and specific services. The program is targeted at video compression resellers and integrators, who will provide customized, localized technical support to broadcasting and cable companies. In turn, Vela's leading-edge video compression products are now available to an even wider audience. Vela will support the VAR sales efforts with an aggressive marketing program, including organized tradeshows and sales seminars, and funding for direct mail campaigns as well as advertising in local industry-related publications. Additionally, Vela will offer its guaranteed price protection, product discounts and the advantages of a co-op marketing fund. "VTA chose to be a part of Vela's Partners Program because we know its MPEG video compression encoding and decoding products are top-of-the-line. We are highly selective in who we choose to partner with. Vela's products will give us a competitive edge in the marketplace," said Glenn Martin, director of sales for Video Tape Associates (VTA), a leading digital and non-linear editing, and film transfer company based in Atlanta, Ga. VTA is one of the charter members of Vela's Partners Program. "With its broad product set -- including encoders, decoders and video solutions -- Vela is the right innovative partner for our cutting-edge post-production and manufacturing facilities. VTA expects Vela's products to help us grow substantially in this newly emerging market." "We are excited to be working with some of the most sophisticated video resellers and integrators in the country," said Scott Cooper, president of Vela Research. "By committing to a program that provides localized, high-quality technical and marketing support, we are creating a beneficial situation for all parties involved: users, resellers and Vela. Vela's technology will be more accessible to the broadcasting and cable industry than ever before with even better sales support and service." Partners of Vela Research will resell and integrate high-quality, cutting-edge MPEG-2 compression products, including: Centaur and Argus encoders, which provide real-time broadcast-quality MPEG-2 encoding; 4-Channel SCSI, PCI, SCSI II and EISA decoders, which provide reliable MPEG-2 decoding; and solutions, including Vela's Application Programming Interface (API) which offers a robust and versatile API for its products to empower integrators and developers in creating their applications.

Read this: Texas Instrument newsor: biz.yahoo.com I didn't buy into the rumor. But am I correct that the thinking was CUBE would be the buyer ? My feeling is 4th and 1st qtr earnings could bring 'her' (CUBE) back into the upper 30s by mid Feb '98 I personally would begin buying more of 'her' in the mid 21s area and soon therafter sell coverd calls (Dec25) for at least $2 1/16th. Just my 2-cents although I don't know anything and have zero knowledge of stocks (etc). BTW, when could one speculate that CUBE would meet with analysts to discuss 4th qtr matters ? Can we assume that no news is good news ?
