Vidyo Introduces Revolutionary Pricing Structure for HD Videoconferencing Ports

LAS VEGAS, NV, May 19 (MARKET WIRE) --
INTEROP-Las Vegas -- Vidyo(R), Inc., the first company to deliver
personal telepresence, announces a dramatic change in the way it will
sell its award-winning videoconferencing systems to first time end users.
The company will offer its high definition (HD) videoconferencing ports
for only $1000 for a year. If the customer decides at the end of the
first year that they do not need HD, then at no additional cost, the
annual license will be converted into a standard definition (SD)
perpetual port license. In addition, the offer will be applied
retroactively to any existing Vidyo customer that has purchased an annual
port license in the last 6 months.

"We strongly believe that after experiencing HD videoconferencing for a
year, customers will be convinced that using anything less is
unsatisfying," said Ofer Shapiro, CEO of Vidyo. "Most people have
experienced SD quality only and are hesitant to buy expensive HD MCU ports
for all desktop users. Many traditional conferencing purchases are SD.
These purchases will become 'boat anchor' hardware when the customer
chooses to move up to HD. Leveraging our technology advantage, we are
allowing everyone to experience the HD benefit, risk free."

Typically, when a customer purchases conferencing ports from traditional
videoconferencing providers, they are sold as hardware ports. Because
Vidyo's system was built from the ground up on an architecture that is
based on the new H.264/SVC standard, it has a flexibility and scalability
unlike any other videoconferencing product on the market today. Without
any additional hardware or costs involved, Vidyo's architecture allows it
to offer an annual license for a concurrent HD port, but provide a
perpetual SD license at the end of the year.

The versatility of Vidyo products and technology enable both desktop and
room HD videoconferencing that can be used by everyone in a company,
whether from the office, home or while traveling, via general IP networks.
Whereas other videoconference solutions are dependent on various
combinations of hardware, specialized equipment and room setups, and
dedicated networks to accommodate HD resolution, Vidyo takes a much
simpler approach with superior results. VidyoTechnology(TM) eliminates
the central component of legacy videoconferencing -- the Multipoint
Control Unit (MCU) -- and replaces it with a distributed architecture
using an application layer router. Because there is no MCU encoding and
decoding bottleneck, there is no latency introduced on a
VidyoConference(TM). The experience is smooth and natural.
