Video Furnace Introduces Digital Set-Top Box for Delivering Video to Network-Connected Television Sets

New VF-STB Meets Customer Demand for Digital Signage Functionality
LIBERTYVILLE, Ill.--(Business Wire)--Video Furnace (www.videofurnace.com), a leading provider of
enterprise-class IP video solutions, today introduced a low-cost
digital set-top box for delivering video to network-connected
television sets in the enterprise.

Used in conjunction with the Video Furnace IP video distribution
system, corporations, educational institutions, financial services
firms, government agencies and other organizations can convert TVs
into IP-connected devices and deliver live, broadcast and on-demand
TV-quality video to television sets on their networks.

"We developed the set-top box solution in response to customer
demand for digital signage and internal communication applications.
Companies of all sizes want the ability to stream video to their
lobbies, conference rooms and other public viewing areas equipped with
network-connected TVs," said Howard Weinzimmer, CEO of Video Furnace.
"With Video Furnace, they can display company messages or stream
'state of the union' addresses. They can even simultaneously deliver
multiple media types, such as slides and live video, at the same time
with our picture-in-picture screen."

The Video Furnace IP video distribution system is a complete,
highly scalable solution that leverages an organization's existing
network to enable companies to securely and cost-effectively deliver
live, broadcast and on-demand TV-quality video to any computer or TV
connected to its network.

Easy to deploy, affordable to maintain and simple to use, the
Video Furnace system is the only fully integrated solution that
supports all operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and
Solaris 10, and it is the only one that does not require any resident
player software, browser plug-ins or hardware on the connected
devices. An industry first, Video Furnace's patent-pending viewer,
InStream, arrives with the video stream and disappears when viewing
ends, eliminating the need to install or manage end-user software.
