Dolby Laboratories to Showcase NetTV's ExtremeDVD at CES

Jump to first matched term

CES99 Dolby Labs Booth No. 3559

SAN RAFAEL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 29, 1998--NetTV announced Monday its ExtremeDVD(tm) Digital Home Entertainment systems will be demonstrated (in Dolby Labs Booth No. 3559) at the 1999
Consumer Electronics Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center (January 7-10).

"NetTV is taking a leadership role in defining and building new products for this emerging Convergence industry," said Gary Valan, Director, Computer Audio Initiative, for Dolby Laboratories. "NetTV's utilization of DVD-ROM-based 5.1 channel Dolby Digital(tm) sound is an important part of the evolving movement of PC-based digital entertainment technologies into the living room. NetTV is bringing the same thrilling audio found in movie theaters to the growing home entertainment industry."

NetTV President Ron Perkes says Dolby Digital(tm) 5.1 multichannel sound technology is one of the
primary reasons NetTV Digital Entertainment Systems are so compelling. "Our HDTV quality display
teamed-up with Dolby's theater-like sound combine to provide extraordinary entertainment quality. Dolby
Digital(tm) helps make for a superior DVD experience -- and it is standard on our upcoming ExtremeTV
HDTV system.

"In addition, DVD-based games and consumer DVD applications are debuting with exciting Dolby
Digital(tm) sound encoding. Multichannel Dolby Digital(tm) streaming audio on DVD is the next step in
video game evolution with effects that surround the player, surpassing the arcade experience, and
producing virtual realism previously unobtainable."

"Tie down the furniture and tell the neighbors," warns NetTV Marketing Director Michael Carrier.
"ExtremeDVD transforms your living room into a theater with video and sound revealing far more detail
than previously possible on a TV. You haven't really experienced DVD until you've seen and heard our
ExtremeDVD system."

"We are catering to the millions of households who want the highest quality next-generation digital entertainment, at an affordable price. ExtremeDVD is a powerful Pentium II(tm) system that delivers the
best that DVD, Internet, CD-ROM, 3-D video games, and Windows applications provide. This is not another limited function Internet device or set-top box. We believe NetTV produces the best digital home
entertainment value in the world," explains Perkes.

ExtremeDVD Systems include DVD, DVD-ROM, Intel Pentium II(tm) processor, 3D sound, 3D graphics, NetTV's UltraDVD(tm) decoder, Dolby Digital(tm) 6-channel sound including LFE (low frequency effects),
Dolby Prologic(tm), wireless keyboard, hand-held remote control, expansion capability, hi-speed hard-drives, Windows98(tm) and a choice of 56K modem or high-speed network adapter.


In addition to running full-blown Internet applications, thousands of games, educational titles and software applications run on ExtremeDVD. ExtremeDVD provides up to five times the clarity and image stability of typical DVD players when combined with NetTV's 29-inch, 34-inch, or 38-inch progressively scanned digital televisions.

NetTV's digital televisions and ExtremeDVD are backed by a one-year warranty on parts & labor and
lifetime toll-free customer support. An optional on-site service program is available.

Products are distributed through authorized distributors and resellers worldwide. NetTV headquarters are
at 7 Mark Drive, San Rafael, CA 94903. Phone is 800/440-6388.
