WOBURN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 13, 1995--FOCUS Enhancements, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCSE, FCSEW) (BSE: FCS, FCSW) announced today that it has teamed with Zenith Electronics Corporation (NYSE: ZE) to bring computer capabilities to television sets in hotels, schools, boardrooms and other arenas.
The effort will combine FOCUS Enhancements' video-to-TV technology with Zenith Electronics' new SuperPort technology to link commercial TV sets to portable computers. The resulting product, called PCZTV, will enable the TVs to be used as computer monitors for multimedia presentations, demonstrations, lessons or training sessions.
The SuperPort is an integrated circuit docking technology built into a commercial TV set and containing an internal housing similar to computer add-on packages for easy slide-in installation. Customers now will be able to plug the FOCUS PCZTV card into the back of any Zenith TV set with a SuperPort and then transfer their computer images to the television screen, flicker free.
"The television can be used to display any computer-generated image from most PCs or Macintoshes that are shipping today," said Thomas Massie, Chairman and CEO of FOCUS Enhancements, Inc. "Now a computer user can walk up to a TV with a Zenith SuperPort, plug in his PC and use the television for business presentations, education purposes or even to access Internet applications in a large viewing environment."
Zenith Electronics Corporation, based in Glenview, Illinois, has been a leader in electronics for more than 75 years. The Company's digital strategy focuses on interactive television, digital video disc (DVD) players, digital and wireless cable, video dial-tone, data communication and HDTV systems.
