Deer
Park, N.Y. Friday, July 23, 1999 - QuesTec
Imaging, Inc. (NASD-BB: QSTI) and Live Motion
Company (LMC) of Wiesbaden, Germany
announce the use of TennisProView by ARD First
German Television for their international and
national coverage of the quarter-, semi- and
final matches of this year's Mercedes Cup,
Stuttgart, Germany, July 23 - 25.
QuesTec will once again 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 virtual replays 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 action. This year's Mercedes Cup
television audience will be treated to a unique
perspective of different types of serves, match
serve patterns, aces and close line calls.
This event is QuesTec's ninth televised
production featuring TennisProView and the fourth
European Tennis production produced by QuesTec
and LMC. QuesTec and LMC debuted TennisProView at
the 1998 ATP World Championship, Hannover,
Germany. Since its debut, TennisProView has been
featured during the Sybase Open, Kroger/St. Jude,
Franklin Templeton, Lipton Championship, Family
Circle Cup, French Open and the Gerry Weber Open.
"We are very pleased with our TennisProView
productions", stated Felix Marggraff,
principle of LMC. "The response to the
unique presentation offered by TennisProView has
been overwhelming. We are anticipating a strong
close to the 1999 season here in Europe, and are
already responding to requests for events in
2000. The dynamics of QuesTec's technology and
experience allow us to provide our clients with a
tremendous product that can easily be customized
for each tournament."
Ares Donzelli, tennis announcer for ZDF German
Television, said "TennisProView is truly
revolutionary for tennis broadcasting. Its
features allow us to present our audience with
fast representations of key events during the
match. TennisProView's ability to instantly
display players' serves and strategies allows us
to better inform our viewers."
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.
