PEACE ARCH ENTERTAINMENT LAUNCHES B2B WEB VENTURE STREAMSCAPES.COM(TM)
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (November 22, 1999) -- Peace Arch Entertainment
Group Inc. (AMEX: "PAE"; TSE: "PAE.A", "PAE.B"), which develops, produces and
distributes proprietary television programming for worldwide markets, today
announced the successful launch of its new web-based business venture,
StreamScapes.
Initially targeted at the "Business-to-Business" marketplace, StreamScapes is a
complete family of products and services developed to advance the use of real-
time media on the World Wide Web. StreamScapes provides an easy-to-use, cost-
effective webcasting solution for industry, government and entertainment
organizations.
"For the past several years, we have seen broadcasters introduce streaming, but
without an easy way for smaller organizations to deliver real-time audio and
video from within their web sites," observed Blair Reekie, President of The
Eyes Multimedia, a Peace Arch subsidiary which develops and produces narrowcast,
broadcast and web cast programming. "We worked closely with our top government
and corporate clients to create an ideal streaming product that could meet their
needs in a number of communications strategies."
The StreamScapes product addresses all aspects of a customer's streaming needs.
Video masters are either produced in-house or delivered as finished
presentations. Programs are then digitized and encoded by on-staff video
producers and placed on the Company's dedicated, streaming video servers.
Viewers may access materials from around the world, 24 hours a day, 365 days a
year, for an extremely low cost per play.
"We are concentrating on a unique niche," continued Reekie. "Other streaming
organizations are adopting a classic broadcast paradigm such as `boxing' or
`racing' at a set time -- for a set duration. At StreamScapes, we are focusing
on Pay-Per-View and On-Demand programming for specific target audiences. The
viewers have total control over what they watch and when."
StreamScapes may be used by public and private sector organizations to
disseminate internal or external communications. Manufacturers can stream
product promotions and instructional videos for consumers; advertising agencies
can provide real-time commercials within client web sites; and retailers can
make specific advertising and promotional media available to enhance their e-
commerce initiatives.
"It took a company dedicated to television production to really advance the use
of real-time media on the Internet," commented Cameron White, Chief Executive
Officer of Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc. "Through our various operating
divisions, we can develop and produce all forms of programming, from 30-second
commercials to one-hour drama series, to feature-length television movies -- and
now distribute them real-time on the World Wide Web."
"In the past, low bandwidth caused the Web to be largely the domain of static,
print-based media. However, with telcos, utilities and cable companies spending
billions of dollars to establish broadband infrastructures across the U. S. and
Canada, StreamScapes will be in a position to deliver substantial new media
through this burgeoning new pipeline," concluded White.
Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc. (formerly Vidatron Entertainment Group Inc.)
develops, produces and distributes proprietary television programming for
worldwide markets. The Company is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia,
and its stock trades on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "PAE", and
on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbols "PAE.A" and "PAE.B".
