Focus Enhancements and Sony Agree to XDCAM EX(TM) Development Alliance

LAS VEGAS, NV, Apr 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
NAB 2008 -- Focus Enhancements, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCSE), a worldwide leader
in media management and ultra wideband (UWB) wireless technology, is working
with Sony Electronics (NYSE: SNE) to customize a new ProxSys(R) PX-100 media
asset management (MAM) solution for XDCAM EX(TM). Focus Enhancements will
demonstrate the new PX-100 Media Server for XDCAM EX at NAB 2008 from April
14-17 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in the Focus Enhancements Booth,
SL2605.
For the demo, PX-100 for XDCAM EX will ingest and organize media from Sony's
PMW-EX1 HD Camcorder with full metadata continuity. The new solution will also
be
shown serving media to Sony's Creative Software Vegas Pro(TM) 8 and delivering
web exports via the SOAP-based PX Interface Protocol.

"The Focus ProxSys MAM solution impressed us because of its considerable
traction in
the business and industrial markets," said Bob Ott, vice president of
professional and optical products for Sony Electronics. "Focus Enhancements is
the first solutions company to demonstrate this level of XDCAM EX format and
metadata support, and its PX-100 Media Server for XDCAM EX will help to bring
added value as our customers transition from a tape-based to file-based
workflow."

"We believe Sony's choice validates ProxSys' leading role in managing
file-based
workflow," said Michael Conway, senior vice president of business
development for Focus Enhancements. "Full interoperability with Sony's growing
XDCAM family, including the new Sony PMW-EX1 HD Camcorder, offers a significant
workflow improvement to our common vertical markets."

Broadcast, corporate, government, industrial, healthcare, entertainment, and
sports
production markets typically have deep online storage requirements. Metadata
continuity is essential for an operable geographically dispersed workflow
between
videographers, editors, and producers. Working with Sony, Focus Enhancements
has modified the ProxSys Universal Metadata Engine(TM) to ingest media and
metadata via Sony's SxS PRO(TM) memory cards to offer native XDCAM EX proxy
preview support and automated transcode and delivery capability.

Pricing and availability will be announced in Summer 2008. Additionally,
Focus
Enhancements is surveying PMW-EX1 owners, particularly multiple-camera owners
with
fast-paced productions, and is accepting pre-registrations for its product beta
test program and potential membership in the new PX-100 Media Server for XDCAM
EX
Experts group. Focus Enhancements has formed the interest group in order to
address metadata workflow and media organization needs, and to accelerate the
benefits of the new Sony-Focus Enhancements alliance. Membership in the group
also includes discounted pricing and other special benefits. For more
