Press Release Body = Taipei, Taiwan April 14, 2006 - In response to the evolving
demand for state of the art Digital Signage products, Cayin Technology has
officially released new version of SMP-WEB, the web-based media player for dynamic
digital signage. Cayin enhances those functions of playlist scheduling and content
management and, furthermore, provides administrators with more convenient and
powerful management tool for large deployment.

SMP-WEB, developed with Cayin's hardened embedded Linux, is a web-based networked
digital signage system and all multimedia contents are displayed in full-screen web
pages. This system supports most popular web languages, such as HTML, JavaScript,
Macromedia Flash, DHTML, CSS, etc., and most popular audio/video codec and image
file formats, such as MPEG 1/2, AVI, WMV, MP3, JPG, GIF, etc. In addition to video,
images, animations, and texts, SMP-WEB can easily extend to provide interactive
services incorporating with external devices such as touch screen, keyboard, keypad,
or mouse.

The new released SMP-WEB offers some powerful features. Administrators can edit up
to 9 playlists with a useful web-based management tool; each playlist can contain up
to 99 pages of content (full screen HTML, Macromedia Flash, and full screen image)
to be displayed on the screen. The duration of each page can be selected for better
scheduling function. When a separate video is used in the HTML page, the new SMP-WEB
can trigger to start and end the complete demonstration page simultaneously,
following the exact duration of the video, and smoothly switch to the next page of
content. You can also insert a full-screen image between two scheduled HTML pages
with simple animated transition.

The new SMP-WEB also offers the function to export and import playlists from one
media player to others. For larger-scale deployment, administrators can efficiently
duplicate playlists to all media players without wasting time on re-configuring the
same playlist for every single player repeatedly.

A significant feature of SMP-WEB is its 'log record' for monitoring status of the
system, the network, the media player, and the playback for management and analysis
purposes, especially for critical commercial applications, which require detailed
evidences for administrators and sponsors to assure the systems' normal operation.

SMP-WEB is an open-structure and scalable platform for easy integration. This
solution can be deployed either as a "networked standalone solution" or under
server-client structure over IP network, and can integrate easily with customers'
existing network facilities, including web server, database, storage, backup, and
load balance. This solution can also support DHCP, and each media player doesn't
need one static IP for remote management over the Internet.

Digital signage, also known as narrowcasting or electronic billboard, is a network
of signs that use digital displays to communicate with target audiences in designate
locations by high-quality video, audio, animation, graphics, and texts. Replacing
and enhancing traditional signs, digital signage offers a multimedia communication
platform to promote, inform, educate, and entertain specific audiences in a variety
of out-of-home occasions.
