CORE DYNAMICS INTRODUCES INTERACTIVE VIDEO/TELEVISION CARD FOR DESKTOP PCS

DYNAMAX HI-REZ PLUS OFFERS CONSUMERS A "PERSONAL THEATER" EXPERIENCE

IRVINE, CALIF. (APRIL 15, 1996) -- As the first in a series of several
products to be launched by Core Dynamics Corporation, the company today
announced an interactive high-resolution video/television card for desktop
PCs featuring a video snapshot recorder for image capture and on-board
spatial stereo sound. Compatible with all VGA cards without the need for a
feature connector, the DynaMax Hi-Rez plus is now available for a
suggested retail price of $299.

According to Arne Nafison, Core Dynamics' president and CEO, "As multimedia
continues to transcend into the consumer computing environment, Core
Dynamics will offer consumers a personal theater experience by using a PC
to integrate entertainment quality audio, interactive video and television
capabilities into their personal, business and gaming applications. The
DynaMax Hi-Rez Plus video/television card meets these requirements at an
exceptional value."

The DynaMax Hi-Rez plus interactive video and television card is ideal for
consumers who want to use their PCs to watch television, videos or home
movies; capture images for personal home page use or video albums; receive
financial updates; or play video games on a PC. Furthermore, it can be
used to create an inexpensive security or local videoconferencing system,
or add video snapshots to classroom assignments.

"Keeping the consumer in mind, we have created an attractive product bundle
to enable consumers to maximize their investment and readily tap into the
unique multimedia capabilities the DynaMax Hi-Rez Plus card offers,"
stated Nafison. "We have added over a $250 value in first rate CD-ROM
titles alone including ESPN's Baseball Tonight, CNN's Time Capsule and A
Guided Tour of Multimedia, Second Edition. Moreover, we enhance the
overall performance of the product with Corel's PhotoPaint 5 Special
Edition which allows consumers to manipulate video images easily on a PC."
The company also adds a free trial subscription offer from
MultimediaWorld, a leading industry publication.
