Press Release Summary: Pixelmetrix, the global expert in Preventive Monitoring for
digital television and IPTV networks, received the Broadcast Engineering Pick Hit
Award for its newly launched DVStation-Mini at the recent NAB in Las Vegas.

Press Release Body: "The Pick Hit award ended this year's NAB on a sweet note,
following our Emmy® Award win for our DVStation early this year. The anticipated
launch of our DVStation-Mini has prompted much excitement from the terrestrial and
cable TV guys. Designed to perform as the indispensable, portable testing unit, the
Pick Hit Award is a deserved merit," Danny Wilson, Pixelmetrix President and CEO,
rejoiced.

DVStation-Mini TSP features a single test input of ASI or SMPTE-310 and can be used
as a portable test device with easy to carry handle, or as a single RU rack-mounted
unit. Signals can be monitored over a LAN or Internet connection using a simple web
browser (supporting Mac and PC) or VNC remote user interface, which supports up to
four users plus a shared mode for collaboration with others.

Target applications are DTV compliance testing for terrestrial broadcasting, cable
headend testing and compliance, and satellite uplink contribution and distribution.

Measuring 13.5 by 1.5 inches and weighing only 5.7 pounds, the DVStation-Mini offers
a full suite of transport stream analysis and monitoring tools - displaying video
thumbnails and critical audio and video parameters in a concise and clear format. A
simple user interface minimizes the learning curve, while its robust software allows
users to drill down to examine errors.

Using the same Emmy® award winning technology as the full size DVStation, the
DVStation-Mini is based on the Linux operating system, ensuring long term stability.
It also supports DVB, ATSC and Digicipher® protocols for extreme flexibility.

The unit features a shock-mounted internal hard drive that withstands hard mobile
use and supplied programmable GPIs and SNMP for integration with large Network
Management Systems.

The DVStation-Mini is also available as a PSK model, featuring an L-band input.

Pixelmetrix develops a host of IPTV and Preventive Monitoring systems that offer
unique attributes and versatility, allowing operators to achieve end-to-end
visibility and keep tabs on their network architecture.
