FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York, June 12, 2000 -- EarthCam (www.earthcam.com), ), the Internet's premier webcam network and a leader in webcasting technology, announced today that it has launched EarthCam TV (http://tv.earthcam.com), a personal communications portal for live webcasting and video sharing on the Internet. EarthCam TV subscribers will be able to create live video broadcasts and then share the videos all within a public or private forum from their very own lifetime Internet TV channel.

Applications from EarthCam TV will benefit business and consumers alike. Designed with only 5 buttons, even the novice user will be able to use EarthCam TV to easily upload videos from their PC camera or hard drive. Possible applications include businesses utilizing video sharing for meetings, presentations or client demos; broadcasting a wedding reception or to send video messages to loved ones. Users will also benefit from EarthCam TV through the use of multi-channel programming, community building, niche content or pay-per-view.

The EarthCamTV service enables virtually any user to author, publish and share rich media content on the Internet. Users will create videos with footage or images taken from video capture, scanners, digital cameras or other video camera devices. They will now have the option to edit their video, add audio voiceovers or music background tracks and press one button to publish directly to the Internet.

"EarthCam is constantly looking for ways to empower an Internet user to create personalized rich video content," said Brian Cury, EarthCam president and chief executive officer. "With EarthCam TV we are giving users the tools and storage space to create and share such content. This is the next step in creating a superior user experience with high perceived value."

EarthCamTV will be designed with an almost endless array of uses through its multi-channel programming, community building and niche content: an entrepreneur will be able to post a video on a pay-per-view basis, a small business will be able to demonstrate and promote their goods or services, grandparents will be able to watch their grandchild's winning goal or a group of people will be able to bridge the miles through a video conference. Subscribers will have the option of allowing their videos to be seen by any user or limiting it to only those they have given a password to.

"EarthCamTV is showcasing a whole new use for Intel® Easy Web Media", said Dave Ryan Director of Technology Marketing in the Intel Architecture Labs, "by delivering personal web TV channels as a communication outlet which has never been offered until now."

Additionally, EarthCam TV will allow users to plan regularly scheduled broadcasts. A company will be able to schedule times as often as they like for an unlimited amount of users to be able to sign-on to receive the latest company news and would even be able to archive their announcements allowing people to watch at any time they like. For example, this would enable a financial planner to regularly update their clients to the changing market or a school principal to keep parents informed about school happenings.
