FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Terran Interactive and Iterated Systems Partner to Provide Superior
Internet Video
New York, NY, Equitable Building, February 10, 1996 --Terran Interactive
(San Jose, CA), announced today that it will be bundling a version of Media
Cleaner EZ that is optimized for usage with Iterated System's (Atlanta, GA)
ClearVideo. Together the two products will demystify the traditionally
complex task of compressing low bit rate video while providing superior
image quality. This bundle will provide Webmasters an easy to use set of
tools for publishing high-quality video for the Internet and Intranet.
"We are entering the 'Era of Video,' but the complexities and barriers to
entry are too great for the mass audience to be able to easily deliver high
quality video over a network," said John Garrison, Iterated Systems'
product manager. "The bundling of Terran's outstanding product with the
power of ClearVideo to compress standard digital video down to extremely
small file sizes, will begin to deliver that 'all-in-one' solution that
customers have been seeking in order to publish high-quality video to a
networked audience."
Media Cleaner is the single tool web-masters need to prepare and compress
all of their dynamic media. The expert system of Media Cleaner EZ guides
users through the digital video compression process by letting users adjust
settings based on a selection of video samples -- all users need to do is
point and click. "We are excited to be partnering with Iterated Systems
and believe this bundle will provide customers with a superior video
solution for web video," said John Geyer, VP of Marketing for Terran
Interactive. "Media Cleaner EZ optimized for ClearVideo will streamline
the dynamic media compression process, allowing users to publish very high
quality video with little effort."
The bundled product will be available from Iterated Systems early in the
second quarter of this year.
