| VideoPropulsion | Videopropulsion Announces
Linux Support for its VDOPRO DVB Product Line
SLINGER, Wis. - May 2, 2000 - VideoPropulsion, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of GENROCO, Inc., set to be spun off to shareholders in June, announced today that the Company has added Red Hat Linux 6.1 software drivers to the broad range of platform support for its entire line of VDOPro DVB (Digital Video Broadcast) solutions. "The introduction of Linux capability for our products is very much in keeping with our stated goal of providing the lowest cost per stream options to our customers," said Bar- bara Pick, President and CEO of VideoPropulsion. "Now provi- dent broadcasters and cable operators can combine the power- ful, high bandwidth, cost effectiveness of our VDOPro DVB solutions with economical, open systems platforms." Last week, VPI released to the media that it had begun shipping its new 64 Bit/66 MHz PCI dual channel DVB-ASI mul- tiplexer card, which can pump two full pipes from a single, short PCI slot. Low host overhead, numerous stream control options, video processing on the fly, and high bandwidth make this a uniquely versatile and scalable vehicle for MPEG transport applications. VideoPropulsion offers a large family of single and dual channel transceive and transmit DVB products that can be used for MPEG transport. Applications developers can take advantage of the low cost of these products and Linux-based systems to create a variety of solutions for digital television providers such as program capture, insertion, remultiplexing, and transmission to satellite, cable head ends, and video networks. | |||||||||||

Announces Major PSC1000 Microprocessor E-Commerce Design Win from Universal
Processing Companies
SAN DIEGO – May 1, 2000 - Patriot Scientific Corporation, the developer of the first, market-ready microprocessor for JavaTM, today announced, at its annual meeting of shareholders here, a major e-commerce design win for the company's powerful PSC1000 microprocessor. It said that Universal Payment Processing (Universal), a Milwaukee-based subsidiary of Universal Savings Bank, a member bank of Visa® and MasterCard® with more than 60,000 business customers nationwide, has selected Patriot's technology to be incorporated into its design solution for a new generation of credit card validation terminals, currently under development. "This design win is a very strong validation of Patriot's business plan," Lunney noted. "Initially, it would require a very substantial number of PSC1000 microprocessors to be provided to Universal for early applications. In the second anticipated phase, Universal would license the intellectual property of the chip to develop its own unique 'systems on a chip' (SOC) architecture for its credit validation products. This would result in a continuing and significant revenue stream for Patriot," the CEO said. "This design win underscores the superior technology and intellectual property of our PSC1000 family of microprocessors," said Lunney, "It also shows the breadth of Java embedded applications, and could lead to additional e-commerce solutions powered by Patriot." | |||||||||||
