PC-TV display coprocessor...... Samsung to Utilize the FOCUS Enhancements FS300 Digital Video Co-Processor in Upcoming PC-to-TV Products SUDBURY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 16, 1998--FOCUS Enhancements, Inc. (NASDAQ:FCSE)(NASDAQ:FCSEW) announced today that Samsung has agreed to utilize the newly released FS300 Digital Video Co-Processor in upcoming PC-to-TV products later this calendar year. The new TView FS300 digital video co-processor is currently the most flexible PC-to-TV video convergence chip in the market since it works with TVs, PCs, or set-top boxes to display computer images without any additional software drivers, or external circuitry. It is the only such product available which does not require software to be VGA chip independent, making integration of FOCUS technology easier and more cost effective than other competitive products. The technology is truly plug and play since it can accommodate any refresh rate up to 90HZ, as opposed to PC-to-TV solutions from recent competitors that accommodate up to 60HZ refresh rates. The FOCUS FS300 digital video co-processor is the only PC-to-TV encoder that supports resolutions of 640 x 480, 800 x 600, and 1024 x 768. Recently announced competitive devices can only support resolutions up to 800 x 600. The FOCUS single solution convergence chip also provides underscaling, compression, and visibility at levels exceeding all competitive products. FOCUS Enhancements, Inc. is an industry leader in the development and marketing of advanced, proprietary video scan conversion products for the rapidly converging, multi-billion dollar computer and television industries. The Company's products, which are sold globally through Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and resellers, merge computer-generated graphics and television displays for presentations, training, education, video teleconferencing, Internet viewing, and home gaming markets. In addition, the Company is developing a family of products that will enable the current installed base of televisions, VCRs, and camcorders to remain functional in upcoming HDTV environments. -0- Forward looking statements in this release are made pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that such forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, continued acceptance of the Company's products, increased levels of competition for the Company, new products and technological changes, the Company's dependence upon third-party suppliers, intellectual property rights and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
