IVDO....potential unbelievable....managment unbelievable..do your DD..burst.com first license agreement today announced...: Tuesday February 9, 9:27 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Major TV Producer Adopts IVT's Burstware For Networked Video Delivery & Management SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 9, 1999--Carsey-Werner, LLC, producer of such hits as ''The Cosby Show,'' ''Roseanne'' and ''3rd Rock from the Sun,'' has agreed to license Burstware® from Instant Video Technologies, Inc. (OTC:IVDO - news) for networked video distribution. ''Burstware® offers the first serious, stable solution for managing the delivery of high-quality video over networks,'' said Richard Lang, Chairman and CEO of IVT. ''We are proud that Carsey-Werner, whose reputation is based on producing top-quality video for broadcast, has chosen to be one of Burstware's charter licensees. Their conversion from Beta site to customer will provide us with continuing input that is certain to be of great value to future enhancements of our products.'' Burstware® has been called the next generation of networked video delivery technology. Instead of streaming content in ''real time,'' Burstware® isolates video from network problems, sending faster-than-real-time ''bursts'' of cinema-quality, jitter-free video and CD-quality sound. By intelligently managing the network video & audio deliveries, existing network infrastructure can service many additional users with the highest quality possible, according to Lang. ''As a forward-looking entertainment company, we want to stay abreast of the technologies that are shaping the future of the broadcasting industry,'' said Don Briare, Carsey-Werner's VP of Information Systems. ''What first attracted me to Burstware® was its high-quality viewing experience. The playback was smoother and sharper than anything we'd seen in the past. Since we are in a 'high demand for bandwidth' corporate environment, it is important that we manage our network resources wisely. Burstware® intelligently manages available network resources and that is a key selling point.'' ''Uncharacteristic of other similar products we've evaluated,'' added Briare, ''Burstware® installed quickly and easily on both the server and workstations, and worked the first time.'' IVT markets Burstware® to a wide range of customers in the broadcast, government, distance learning and Fortune 1000 markets. Official commercial product release is pending. Instant Video Technologies, Inc., headquartered in San Francisco is the leading developer of burst-mode video and audio delivery software for networks and content providers. IVT's Burstware enables high-quality faster-than-real-time delivery of full motion video & CD quality audio over networks of all types.
