VIVIDAS AND MAGNEATO INTERNATIONALSTREAM SPORTING HISTORY AND MORE TO THE ASIA PACIFIC REGION April 20th, 2007, Melbourne: In a true step towards convergence, breakthrough technology from Vividas has enabled the live internet broadcast of a major sports event! Through live low bandwidth internet streaming and a multi-platform delivery, the recent World Boxing Council International Super Featherweight title fight between Manny Pacquiao vs. Jorge Solis, was able to reach a global audience of sports and boxing fans. This is the first major sports event covered by Vividas and Magneato International Limited and follows on from a recently announced partnership to deliver advanced internet-based video streaming technology within the Asia Pacific region. Manny Pacquiao is a hero in his native Philippines with his fights shown nationally to paying audiences in commercial cinemas in malls and town halls across the country. The opportunity to offer a pay-per-view internet feed of Manny’s championship defence, arose from an arrangement with neTVision (http://www.netvision.com.ph/aboutus.php) , which is focusing on offering high definition Filipino films, TV shows and ethnic pay-per-view video content. Dave Winter, CEO Vividas, Australia said, “The Vividas solution is versatile and independent of installed media players, providing full screen, high quality engaging entertainment that more people can enjoy. The pay-per-view model implemented for the Pacquiao vs. Solis fight protected the content while still allowing millions of fight fans around the world to see it on their computer screens as they would on their televisions. We look forward to working with our partners to deliver more live and On-demand content in the near future” Magneato International intends to be at the forefront of the IPTV industry and its Vividas license covers content sales and reseller arrangements in the fastest growing region of the world. Company executives are keen to leverage their extensive business contacts throughout Asia, aiming to attract customers from China, Hong Kong, Japan and the Philippines while already in advanced discussions with Philippine broadcast stations, advertising agencies and telecommunications companies on the use of Vividas platform for their video streaming needs. “Vividas is what the IPTV industry needs as a catalyst to the impending boom in the Asia region. This is real web TV, available now” said Axel Kornerup, Magneato International’s Chief Executive Officer and founder of Netopia, netVoice and netGames, in the Philippines and Thailand, all market leaders in their respective industries. Partnering with neTVision to 'live' stream the ‘Blaze of Glory’ boxing event to its broadband subscriber base was the Philippine Long Distant Telephone Company (PLDT) (http://www.pldt.com.ph/), the premier telecommunications company in the Philippines. Butch Jimenez, Senior Vice President, PLDT - Retail Business Group, said "It was a successful commercial trial of some very impressive technology. We are very excited about using the Vividas streaming video service to distribute a variety of entertainment content, both for video on demand and future 'live' events." -ends-
