Makes Finals at French Open
Deer
Park, N.Y. Monday, May 10, 1999 - QuesTec
Imaging, Inc. (QuesTec), (NASD-BB: QSTI), and
Live Motion Company (LMC) of Wiesbaden, Germany announce
the use of TennisProViewTM by French television's
FRANCE 2 for the final four days of this year's
French Open. QuesTec will work with LMC to
produce on-air serve analysis and virtual replays
during this year's tournament. TennisProView is a
real-time video and computer-based tracking and
scoring system that creates a virtual replay for
television and a behind-the-scenes analysis tool
for commentators. TennisProView will be available
for all pre-match, match and post-match coverage
of center court singles tennis. This year's
television audience will be treated to a unique
perspective of different types of serves, match
serve patterns, Aces and close line calls.
This
will be QuesTec's second televised European
production featuring the company's TennisProView
sports analysis and virtual replay technology.
QuesTec and LMC debuted TennisProView at the 1998
ATP World Championship, Hannover, Germany.
TennisProView has recently been featured by FOX
Sports Net during their coverage of the Sybase
Open, the Kroger/St. Jude and Franklin-Templeton
Classic. FOX Sports featured QuesTec's
TennisProView technology as "FOX Shotz"
during this year's Lipton Championship and Family
Circle Cup. FOX Sports Net and FOX Sports
currently have the right of first refusal on the
exclusive license to TennisProView for ATP Tour
events played in the United States during 1999.
QuesTec's
TennisProView technology is the only interactive
real-time, virtual replay system available for
live televised tennis. TennisProView instantly
captures, quantifies, and displays the speed,
path and location of serves. QuesTec's
TennisProView technology is currently being
marketed to television networks and sponsors as
an analysis tool for commentators and an instant
virtual replay system for televised tennis.
Development of TennisProView as a real-time,
virtual display for live internet broadcasting is
near completion and is expected to be released
during the 1999 season. QuesTec's data capture
and real-time motion analysis techniques offer
unique and informative content and visualization
for the convergence of today's emerging digital
media.
QuesTec
develops and markets proprietary software systems
that capture, render, and display real-time,
virtual replays and graphic simulations for
sports entertainment, display media, business and
industry. LMC is distributing QuesTec's
TennisProView and GolfProView virtual replay
systems in Europe under the company name of 101
