 'One-Button' Technology Originally Developed for Video Forensics Finds New Civilian Purpose Enhancing Video From Mobile Phones, Digital Cameras and More

September 24, 2007 - San Diego, Calif., DEMOfall 07 - MotionDSP(TM) (San Mateo, Calif.), an emerging leader in digital video technology, today announced a new consumer service called fixmymovie.com, where video from any source can be dramatically enhanced with one-button, online simplicity. FixMyMovie was highlighted in the official DEMO press release - one of only 8 companies out of 69 to be so honored.

Using technology originally developed for high-tech intelligence applications, fixmymovie.com employs MotionDSP's own cutting-edge video enhancement solutions and applies them to user-generated content.  Examples can range from irreplaceable video of a baby's first steps to breaking news captured with a mobile phone.

Fixmymovie.com can take any video file from a mobile phone or digital camera and make it better. FixMyMovie's suite of automatic enhancements improves overall resolution, corrects for poor lighting conditions and removes the blockiness and other artifacts that ruin most mobile phone and low-end digital camera videos. The service was launched at the DEMOfall 07 conference and has been called 'the gold standard for video enhancement' by pre-briefed analysts and press, as well as In-Q-Tel (Arlington, VA), the investment arm of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Regardless of source, fixmymovie.com enables any video to look its best, all with the simplicity of one-button operation - just click and your video will be uploaded, enhanced and displayed.  Then, you can share it, embed the improved video on your blog, Facebook® or MySpace® page, or download it for posterity.

Fixmymovie.com is one of the first public sites to utilize Adobe's newest version of Flash® for video encoding, which incorporates support for H.264 video - the latest-generation video format. In addition to H.264 Flash, enhanced video clips are available for download to Microsoft® Windows® PCs as a WMV file.  Apple® Mac® computers, as well as iPod® or iPhone® are supported through QuickTime® and Adobe® Flash format is also available for online services such as YouTube®.

MotionDSP is already recognized worldwide for its Ikena(TM) software product family, which ranges from Ikena Workstation--a laptop-based video forensic tool for the security market--to Ikena Web, a scalable Web service for carriers and Internet video sites which can enhance tens of thousands of user-generated videos per day.

"Fixmymovie.com is the ideal platform to showcase MotionDSP's unmatched video enhancement solution," said Dr. Sean Varah, CEO of MotionDSP.  "This new service brings video enhancement technology previously reserved for government intelligence and video forensics into the hands of any consumer. No one carries a video camera with them all the time, and we frequently capture life's most important moments on a mobile phone or digital camera.  Using fixmymovie.com, anyone can enhance the video from these devices with push-button simplicity and make them look their absolute best."

"FixMyMovie is a great new service that has the potential to radically transform how consumers use mobile video," said Chris Shipley, Founder and Executive Producer of DEMO.  "We were especially impressed with how simple and user-friendly MotionDSP have made video enhancement - their technology is unique and should prove to be a great new tool for dramatically improving low-end video."

During the consumer beta, Fixmymovie.com allows for free enhancement of video clips smaller than CIF resolution (352x288 pixels) and less than 20 megabytes (almost any video from a mobile phone or digital camera fits these requirements).  Further details may be found at http://www.fixmymovie.com.

About DEMO
