ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 12, 2003

An Optional Enhancement to the MediaHawk 4th Generation Platform

Concurrent Computer Corporation (NASDAQ: CCUR), a worldwide leader of on-demand technology that is shaping the future of television, is pleased to introduce its real-time encoding technology - Real-Time Media(TM) - for cable operators. Concurrent's Real-Time Media enables cable operators to deliver enhanced, automated on-demand services, such as network-based digital video recording (NDVR), to their customers for a unique product offering and revenue-generating differentiator.

With the rollout of Concurrent's MediaHawk 4th Generation On-Demand Platform and MediaMatrix(TM) solution, Concurrent introduced the ability to manage streams, storage and content ingestion independently, enabling content storage and video throughput to be incrementally configured. With this unparalleled three-dimensional (3-D) scalability, the MediaMatrix enables operators to respond to fluctuating demands and increasing amounts of content, including real-time encoding capabilities to support time-shifting capabilities for NDVR. Combined with Concurrent's MediaHawk 4G On-Demand Platform, the Real-Time Media option enables subscriber access to real-time content, such as select sports, news and affiliate channel programming with pause, rewind and fast forward functionality shortly after they have been broadcast. By developing, enhancing and integrating these high-bandwidth technologies, Concurrent is leveraging on-demand services into manageable and cost-effective revenue generators.

Real-Time Media from Concurrent is a truly modular design. The components of Concurrent's Real-Time Media are a natural extension of its 4th generation architecture, allowing individual components to be added as needed, with connections via standard interfaces to the rest of the system. With Concurrent's 4th generation platform technology, streams, storage and content ingest are scaled independently, allowing Real-Time Media to be easily overlaid on the MediaMatrix, with content access available to all servers within the MediaMatrix system.

Also, since Real-Time Media was designed from the ground up to be a flexible architecture, employing open interface standards for all control and propagation functions, integration with third-party vendors is greatly facilitated.

"With NDVR, a subscriber can watch an 8:00 show at 8:30, 10:00, or even the next day. Our Real-Time Media technology is powerful, automated and easy-to-use, enabling cable operators to give their customers a new level of viewing choices and control," said Bruce Bradley, vice president of Product Development, Concurrent XSTREME (Video-On-Demand) Division. He added, "NDVR is something that satellite just can't provide through its one-way connection. Through NDVR and their cable service, consumers will no longer have to manage the recording process - they can simply use their remote control to choose from a wider variety of content that includes network-based, time-shifted programming."
