) today announced that PowerLinx will use the On2 VP6 codec (1) (enCOder/DECoder) A hardware circuit that performs analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC) conversion. When analog signals are entered into a computer, cellphone or other device via a microphone or video source such as VHS tape or analog TV,  in its next generation digital commercial security products. PowerLinx unique, patented application allows video to be captured live and sent over power lines in AC or DC environments on any power grid.

The On2 VP6 codec will allow PowerLinx to get high quality video capture and decoding with a minimum amount of bandwidth making it substantially easier to transmit video at low data rates. Further, the use of the On2 VP6 codec eliminates royalties associated with other compression technologies.

"PowerLinx has one of the leading edge powerline technologies currently available in the world. Our relationship in the security area could well expand to other applications such as sending video from a broadband connection to a number of screens in the home. The current application certainly allows multiple cameras to be deployed over the electric grid which cuts installation and maintenance costs considerably," said Douglas A. McIntyre, On2 Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

"The On2 VP6 codec enhances a system that is already more cost efficient for security applications than anything else on the market. Initially we intend to use VP6 with our commercial and industrial PowerLinx security products which include the PowerLinx Parking Lot Surveillance System. We look forward to exploring future product launches with On2," explained George S. Bernardich III, PowerLinx Chairman & CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. .

PowerLinx will demonstrate all of its PowerLinx products including those that will incorporate the new VP6-based codec during the 2004 International CES in Las Vegas from January 8 to January 11, 2004. The products will be shown at the PowerLinx suite in the Luxor Hotel. Interested parties can make appointments by calling (727) 866-7440 x212 or (214) 738-6970, or by emailing sales@power-linx.com.
