Envision, Inc. Announces Juggle Show® for the BeOS®
Upgrades its Award Winning Presentation System

  Dearborn, Michigan; November 9, 1998: Today Envision, Inc. announced its new Juggle Show presentation system. Juggle Show, set for final release in the first quarter of 1999, upgrades Envision's award winning presentation system.

Juggle Show, written from the ground up on the Be Operating System (BeOS), improves performance over Envision's current Windows 95ċ¨ based system. "We have achieved significant improvements in the visual quality and the complexity of transitions and effects" said William Dunning, President of Envision, Inc. With the BeOS, we were able to take advantage of its superior handling of multimedia content while utilizing more cost effective hardware."

Judy Bullard, Art Department - Lucent Technologies Microelectronics Group, has been using the Windows 95 based system since 1996. "We use it as a lobby greeting and information display" Bullard said. "The LAN distribution capabilities have made it easy to manage multiple displays around our building from one editor. With the new WAN and Internet distribution tools expected in Juggle Show, we could easily manage displays in our plants around the world without the need for costly dedicated connections".

Cable Television MSO's will appreciate the low cost per channel and high quality video output, making Juggle Show ideal for public access channels or pay-per-view barkers.

Large manufacturing organizations, maintaining employee information Intranet or video networks, can take advantage of the zone feature to distribute targeted, language specific messages to all of their locations and manage them from one site.

Envision is also launching a service for companies who do not have the capacity to design and maintain presentations in-house. Envision will begin providing design, hosting, and updating service with the release of Juggle Show. This service eliminates the customers need for a Juggle Show edit/server station, reducing up front costs and providing high quality custom graphics and layout.

The use of standard Intel Pentium IIċ¨ platform computers and components assures easy and low cost system maintenance. Juggle Show systems come with a 5 year limited warranty for parts and labor.

Those interested in further information may complete the pre-release registration form on Juggle Show's web site, located at http://www.juggleshow.com. Early registrants will receive up-to-the-minute product information and are qualified for product discounts, free design services, and access to Juggle Show's beta evaluation program.

Established in 1990, Envision, Inc. provides computer, multimedia, and telecommunications services to business and government, including telephone systems, presentation systems, computer networks, & custom BeOS and Windows 95/98/NT software.
