BOXLIGHT Expands Presentation Market; New Systems Accommodate Every User Profile.

POULSBO, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 6, 1998--Once again, BOXLIGHT Corporation wags the dog, announcing the release of four new presentation systems.

One replaces the 3-gun CRTs that have dominated the large venue market -- at a fraction of the size and price. Another cuts the cord from your PC; with its PCMCIA card option, presenters can take this projector and leave the laptop at home. A third is a tough little trooper -- an affordable, feature-laden portable that's easy on the pocketbook. And finally, BOXLIGHT introduces its MediaFrame, a gas plasma display for high impact visual imagery.

"Spring 1998 marks a turning point for our industry," explains BOXLIGHT founder and president Herb Myers. "Previously, entire groups of the presenting public had been excluded from giving electronic presentations because the industry did not produce systems designed for large group presentations, lightweight and compact enough for the traveling executive, bright enough for distance wall mounting, or affordable enough for schools and the budget constrained."

"Our industry is learning that one size -- or one size range -- does not fit all. We are now poised to meet the diverse needs of the vast presenting public. The presentation industry has truly entered a new era."

WELCOME TO THE HIPPODROME

Signifying a new direction in large venue presentation, the BOXLIGHT 9000 is the powerhouse of presentation products. Until now, the LCD projection industry had been unable to truly meet the needs of users needing auditorium-scale projection capabilities. The 9000 will replace XGA 3-gun CRT projectors which are stationary, cumbersome, costly, maintenance intensive, and no longer a viable large-scale projection solution.

-- 1000 ANSI lumens of brightness. This means the BL 9000 offers unprecedented versatility as it can accommodate a full range of presentation needs from training and lectures to full blown conferences.

-- Beats it hands down. At 24 lbs., the BL9000 is a fraction of the weight, size, and price of a 3-gun -- and three times brighter!

-- It's easy. AMX Crestron compatible programming makes the 9000 a match for any video, audio, or computer source -- right out of the box, requiring no expensive adjustments.

NO LAPTOP REQUIRED

The BOXLIGHT 3500 is first in a new class of compact, full-featured SVGA, high lumen projectors, a breakthrough in performance, portability, obsolescence protection and price.

-- Blazing. 450 ANSI lumens of brightness means a presenter never has to think about a room's lighting conditions.

-- Portable, yet versatile. The unit has features for everyone from a traveling sales executive to an in-house trainer. It will never go unused.

-- Just take the essentials. An optional PCMCIA card lets the presenter leave the laptop behind -- no need to lug extra equipment.

MULTIMEDIA FOR NEXT-TO-NOTHING

Not all presenters need equipment that slices, dices, and bakes bread. For the more cost-conscious, the BOXLIGHT 2025 has enough features to be enticing at a price that's mouth-watering. This data and video projector opens many doors for those presenters whose budgets have kept them out of the electronic presentation game.

-- Easy to use. Plug it in and you're ready to go. This projector synchronizes your computer to match its best settings, automatically. It doesn't get any easier.

-- Bright, true color. True 800x600 SVGA, 250+ ANSI lumens, and 16.7 million colors mean crisp, bright, attention-getting images in typical room lighting.

GAS PLASMA -- BIG BROTHER COULD USE THIS

This sleek machine is an impressive 42" diagonal, yet only six inches deep. When in use, BOXLIGHT's 7200 MediaFrame dominates the environment, its images are so captivating, so crystal clear. It begs to be looked at.

-- Mount it. Its narrow profile fits unobtrusively into almost any viewing environment, and images are perfect to 160 degrees, so everyone in the audience has a great seat.

-- Captivating gas plasma technology produces stunning images and eliminates any light loss associated with projection.

-- Watch it watch you. The MediaFrame will become a fixture in corporate conference rooms, videoconferencing centers, airports and supermalls.
