HAUP- INTC/BCST Comments NOV '98 Comdex HAUPPAUGE COMPUTER WORKS TO DEMONSTRATE DIGITAL TELEVISION (DTV) TECHNOLOGY AT COMDEX HAUPPAUGE, NEW YORK, November 13, 1998 -- Hauppauge Computer Works, Inc., a subsidiary of Hauppauge Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: HAUP), will demonstrate their new DTV receiver board, the WinTV-D, at an upcoming computer industry trade show, COMDEX. The WinTV-D board will let a desktop computer display a digital television broadcast (DTV) on a PC screen at a fraction of the cost of a dedicated DTV receiver. Hauppauge Computer Works, Inc, a leading manufacturer of TV and data broadcast receiver products for personal computers, will conduct these DTV demonstrations at its booth during COMDEX, November 16-20, 1998, in Las Vegas. The demonstration will feature Hauppauge's WinTV-D, a PCI-based Digital Television receiver card utilizing digital broadcast receiver software technology from Intel Corporation. The demonstration supports DTV, SDTV and HDTV broadcasts compliant with ATSC standards, and showcases live reception and display of DTV signals. Currently in development, the WinTV-D product line is expected to be in volume production in the first half of 1999. "Our analog television receiver cards have become increasingly popular as PC add-ins," said Ken Plotkin, Hauppauge's Vice President of Marketing. "Now, as Digital Television evolves into a compelling medium, we believe the PC will make its move into the living room as the rightful center of digital information and entertainment in the home." Since all Digital Television is transmitted as a high-speed serial bit stream, television programs mixed with data and even pure data broadcasts can be received by the card. This is expected to lead to new applications and markets, as broadcasters create customized local data streams for their audiences. Mark Cuban, President of Broadcast.com (NASDAQ: BCST) remarked "There are tens of millions of PC monitors capable of displaying HDTV signals. With WinTV-D, consumers will be able to receive those HDTV signals, and with support from Broadcast.com, they can be enabled with high speed internet access and tens of thousands of hours of audio and video on demand. Broadcast.com is excited to participate in this launch and to be working with Intel and Hauppauge to deliver on the promise of true digital delivery of audio and video into America's living rooms." "Intel is excited to support the development of digital receiver products which enable the PC to receive all the benefits of DTV, data enhanced television and other rich broadcast services,” said Tom Galvin, Director of Market Development, Intel's Content Group. “Hauppauge's WinTV-D card is an example of technology that will help further Intel's goal of bringing new uses to powerful personal computers.” hauppauge.com
