QUESTEC ANNOUNCES
FIRST 1998 AGREEMENT WITH THE
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN NETWORK FOR
NEW YORK YANKEES AND NEW YORK
METS BROADCASTS
Deer Park, N.Y.
Monday, March 30, 1998 - QuesTec
Imaging, Inc. (QuesTec),
(NASD-BB: QSTI), and the Madison
Square Garden Network (MSG) announce
an agreement to incorporate
QuesTec’s SuperVisionSM
pitch-tracking system as a
broadcast enhancement, video
replay and analysis tool during
MSG’s 1998 television
coverage of the New York Yankees
and New York Mets. This agreement
will bring in revenues between
$150,000 - $250,000, depending on
the number of away games MSG is
able to utilize the SuperVisionSM
system. To date, QuesTec has the
system cabled in 10 major league
stadiums, with plans already in
place to increase that number
throughout the 1998 season. In
1997, MSG contracted with QuesTec
to provide the SuperVisionSM
system during Yankees’
broadcasts and sold exclusive
sponsorship rights to the Chevy
Trucks Division of General
Motors.
SuperVisionSM
is used during broadcasts to
display, and assist commentators
in the analysis of key pitches,
pitcher/batter match-ups and key
at bats. As a video source,
SuperVisionSM
instantly provides viewers and
announcers with a
three-dimensional view of
individual pitches, including the
speed and trajectory of the ball
from its release-point to the
back of home plate. This instant
three-dimensional rendering of
real pitches graphically
illustrates the difference
between a slider, curveball,
forkball or fastball -- enhancing
the broadcast for commentators
and viewers alike. As an
enhancement tool, the SuperVisionSM
system raises the level of
broadcast coverage and increases
viewer interest. This increased
interest translates into direct
attention for SuperVisionSM sponsors.
QuesTec’s Vice
President of Sports Marketing and
former major-league pitcher, Ron
Klimkowski, recently summed up
the feelings of all of us at
QuesTec, saying "With the
inclusion of the Mets in this
year’s first major
agreement, and coming off the
success of last year’s World
Series coverage on NBC, I’m
impressed with the overwhelming
exposure and incredibly positive
feedback Supervision has
received. I’m looking
forward to a great season for
Supervision in 1998."
QuesTec develops and
markets proprietary software
systems that capture, render, and
display real-time graphic
simulations that can be applied
to sports entertainment, display
media, business and industry.
