LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 2004

Chameleon vidXwan(TM) Enables Network Service Providers to

Efficiently Distribute Live MPEG-2 Video in Both Standard (SD)

and High Definition (HD) Format over IP Networks

Path 1 Network Technologies Inc. (AMEX:PNO), a leading provider of products that enable the transmission of broadcast-quality video over IP networks, today at NAB2004 introduced the Chameleon vidXwan(TM), the industry's first multi-port, bi-directional real-time IP video router for live broadcast applications. Designed for flexible use, the Chameleon vidXwan enables broadcasters to distribute live, real-time broadcast-quality MPEG-2 video in both Standard (SD) and High Definition (HD) format to remote locations over fiber networks. Utilizing standards-based encapsulation and forward error correction (FEC) techniques, the Chameleon vidXwan is the only product of its kind to support the Pro-MPEG code of practice for live broadcast applications.

"Internet Protocol networks are bringing lower costs and increased flexibility to the broadcast industry," said Gerry Kaufhold, principal analyst with In-Stat/MDR. "Path 1's leading-edge vidXwan multi-port IP video router makes the promise of IP tangible, putting up to eight DVB-ASI ports into a one-rack unit, and is fully compliant with Pro-MPEG's code of practice for live broadcast applications."

The Chameleon vidXwan is capable of simultaneously transmitting and receiving up to four input and four output video feeds. Using advanced synchronization algorithms, the Chameleon vidXwan specifically addresses the technical challenges associated with delivering broadcast-quality video over IP. By shielding the video signals from severe network impairments such as jitter, packet loss, and out of order packet delivery, the Chameleon vidXwan meets the quality video standard that broadcasters demand. Like all Chameleon products, the vidXwan architecture is based on a standardized network processor-powered hardware platform that can be software-configured and upgraded in the field, enabling companies to future-proof their networks and protect against product obsolescence.

"We are very excited about the initial feedback we've received from this new product," stated John Zavoli, president and CEO of Path 1. "The Chameleon vidXwan allows our broadcast and service provider customers to realize real cost savings on their network. With its multi-port and bi-directional capabilities, our product significantly reduces the amount of equipment required to send and receive video content. In addition, because it is standards-based, the vidXwan is interoperable with virtually any type of networking equipment and can be cost effectively deployed into any existing broadcast infrastructure."

Key Chameleon vidXwan(TM) features include:

-- Up to a total of four ASI input and output ports per 1 RU

product
