Virage Launches New Interactive Service with ABCNEWS.com, CNET and C-SPAN
Video Search Moves into the Web Mainstream as Major Content Owners Select Virage NEW YORK - June 29, 1999 - Virage, Inc. of San Mateo, CA announced Virage Interactive, a service providing hosted interactive video solutions to media and entertainment companies, enterprise customers, and premiere events and conference providers. Virage also announced that ABCNEWS.com, CNET and C-SPAN have signed on as the first customers of this new service. This announcement was made today at the Streaming Media East '99 Conference and Exhibition in New York City.
Virage Interactive provides content originators with a complete solution for integrating searchable and interactive video into their web sites. The service translates video content from television, satellite or tape directly into a hosted and private-labeled video search engine. By providing a hosted index of searchable video, Virage Interactive allows site producers to weave video search throughout their site, retaining complete control over the functionality as well as the look and feel of the web pages. Over the next year, the company will introduce a variety of additional services and features on top of its video search engine.
"Last year, Virage created the world's first video search engine for the Web, " said Paul Lego, CEO of Virage. "This year, it's going mainstream. Virage Interactive is the first solution that allows large-scale integration of searchable video content into any web site. But this is just the starting point for us. We believe that video search is the foundation of a broad range of capabilities that create user interaction and community around streaming video. It will also drive the development of new advertising and commerce models related to video. Working with premiere content owners, Virage will create an entirely new user experience and business model around video on the Web. " Virage Interactive and ABCNEWS.com Since its inception two years ago, ABCNEWS.com has prominently featured ABC news video and audio assets, bringing the credibility of ABC News to the Internet. Now ABCNEWS.com, through Virage's technology, will make ABC News multimedia assets even more accessible to the Web audience. When the technology is launched, visitors to ABCNEWS.com will be able to search across all of ABC News' programming - including World News Tonight, Nightline and 20/20 - for topics of interest.
Virage Interactive and CNET Working with Virage, CNET will add a new feature to its network for high-speed users, which will further integrate its award winning television programming and online content. CNET pioneered the integration of television and online in 1995 with the introduction of television's first show tied to the Web, CNET Central. Today, CNET produces five weekly televisions shows and recently announced that it will create a weekly one-hour technology program for CNBC, which will debut in October. CNET's vast television content will combine to make a database of video that will become searchable on the front door of CNET.com. By searching on keywords for specific topics, visitors to CNET (www.cnet.com) will get video search results that are relevant and useful. Video search will be available on CNET's web site in July, 1999.
"Our tech TV content is the best in the industry," stated Halsey Minor, CEO of CNET Television. "Working with Virage means that we can integrate our quality programming throughout CNET's Network, and now users will be able get exactly what they came looking for, whether its new products, the latest trends or help with a buying decision." Virage Interactive and C-SPAN Virage and C-SPAN today announced that they are teaming up to create a video search engine dedicated to the upcoming presidential elections. This site will contain a comprehensive online collection of candidate campaign speeches, primary and general election debates, press conferences, party fundraisers and all other candidate appearances on C-SPAN. Starting in July 1999, the Campaign 2000 Video Search Engine will be available on multiple Internet destinations including C-SPAN.org.
The Campaign 2000 Video Search Engine will provide simple, search engine-style access to the breadth and depth of programming compiled on C-SPAN as the network follows the candidates on the campaign trail. By typing in keywords, users will be able to search by candidate, party, campaign issue or location. For example, users will be able to search for and view speeches by topics such as taxes, gun control, abortion, education or foreign policy. Users will also be able to compare and contrast statements made by a candidate as he or she speaks to voters in different regions of the country. In addition, the site will allow users to track a candidate's position on a topic by date throughout the campaign season.
"C-SPAN's goal has always been to provide our audience with unfiltered access to forums where public policy is discussed," said Rob Kennedy, executive vice president, C-SPAN. "Our partnership with Virage makes it possible for us to provide our audience new ways to access our extensive coverage of the campaign process. The Campaign 2000 Video Search Engine gives users access on-demand to the candidates and their positions throughout the electoral process." About Virage Interactive Services Virage Interactive provides content originators, such as media and entertainment companies, enterprise customers, and premiere event and conference producers, with a complete solution for integrating searchable and interactive video into their web sites. Powered by Sun Microsystems' Enterprise servers and Solaris Operating Environment, the service translates video content from television, satellite or tape directly into a hosted and private-labeled video search engine. By providing a hosted index of searchable video, Virage Interactive allows site producers to weave video search throughout their site, retaining complete control over the functionality as well as the look and feel of the web pages.
Virage first introduced its video search engine last year when it published President Clinton's Grand Jury Testimony to the Internet in partnership with AltaVista. The event has been broadly described by industry analysts as a watershed event for streaming media on the Web. For the first time, users could search through the video, finding and previewing just the parts of the testimony that were of interest. Since then, Virage has partnered with a variety of other content originators to create breakthrough deployments of searchable video across a range of content categories. Most recently, Virage and RealNetworks teamed up to deliver searchable versions of selected keynotes from last month's RealNetworks Conference. A showcase of these and other searchable video sites can be found at http://www.virage.com/showcase/ About Virage, Inc.

Virage's VideoLogger and AudioLogger software set the standard for real-time indexing and distribution of video across the Internet or corporate intranets/extranets. Virage has been named the market winner by industry analyst group Frost & Sullivan. Virage customers include ABC News, AltaVista, BBC, Carlton Communications, CBS, CNET, CNN, CNN Interactive, Compaq, C-SPAN, Energy Film Library, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Fox Sports, General Electric, General Motors, Harvard Business School, Lockheed Martin, Lucent Technologies, NASA, Network Espana, Reuters, Showdown Productions, Swiss Radio-TV, Telecinco and several classified U.S. government agencies.
