Concurrent Computer V.P. of Development Presents `PVR Meets VOD' at SCTE Forum.

Business Editors/Technology Writers

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 4, 2001

Concurrent Computer Corporation's (Nasdaq:CCUR) Vice President-Development Bob Chism, an expert in emerging Video-On-Demand (VOD) technologies, will unveil Concurrent's industry-leading Personal Video Channel (PVC) technology during a presentation to the Society of Cable Television Engineers (SCTE) "Emerging Technologies" conference, Wednesday, January 10 in New Orleans, LA.

Chism's presentation is based on a technical white paper he wrote entitled, "Personal Video Recorder (PVR) Meets Video-On-Demand (VOD)," in which he describes Concurrent's PVC service, the most effective and economical way to enable cable customers to pause, fast forward, and record live television programs. This network-based PVC service provides significant advantages over VCRs and in-home PVRs.

"For instance, with Concurrent's Personal Video Channel, the consumer will no longer be required to program a recording device or rely on self-programming based upon viewing history," Chism said. "There will be no need to buy an in-home PVR and be faced with obsolescence in years to come. Network-based PVC is simply a software application that will be downloaded to the consumer's set-top box and can easily be upgraded, without an upgrade cost to the consumer, as technology advances," he added.

At the SCTE, during a session entitled `Fast-Forwarding Live Video-Cable's Challenges and Opportunities,' Chism will explain how network-based PVC will drastically change viewing habits, and how each consumer will experience personalized TV without the dependency of a program schedule.

SCTE's "Emerging Technologies" is a technical conference being held Jan. 8-10. The event draws over 1,000 visionaries from around the globe who are leading the way to tomorrow's technologies.

Chism has more than 25 years of diverse engineering, program management, and marketing experience in computer and related industries with Lockheed, Rockwell International, General Electric, Harris Computer Systems Corporation, and Concurrent Computer Corporation.
