Zenith Data Systems Announces Fully Integrated Videoconferencing PC

One-Stop, Affordable Video Conferencing and Application Sharing with the
Z-STATION GT575 VC

Buffalo Grove, IL-- June 19, 1995-- Zenith Data Systems announced today the
Z-STATION GT 575 VC personal computer, a turnkey videoconferencing
solution in an affordable, easy-to use package. The ZDS Z-STATION GT 575
VC is based on ZDS' recently announced high-performance Pentium desktop
systems combined with industry standard H.320 & T.120 PictureTel
videoconferencing hardware and software. The ZDS system is literally a
plug-and-play video conference solution-- customers only need to provide
an ISDN connection for full-featured, high quality video capabilities in a
package price under $7000[US]. The ZDS Z-STATION GT 575 VC includes:

* 75Mhz Pentium PC with 16MB RAM, 850 MB hard drive
* Full duplex, Automatic Gain Control, Echo Cancellation Speakerphone
* NTSC Color Video Camera Automatic Gain Control
* ISDN H.320 video interface board
* 64-bit, high performance PCI graphics board
* Z-LIVE application sharing software

Video Conferencing and Application Sharing Capabilities

The Z-STATION GT 575 VC allows direct, 15 frames-per-second, full color
video along with simultaneous voice transmission over standard ISDN lines.
The high-quality speakerphone provides near-live voice quality, with
virtually none of the line-dropping and static associated with some other
conferencing systems. All hardware interfaces and software are
pre-installed. Users can share documents and applications via ZDS' Z-LIVE
software, making group editing and collaborative projects happen in real
time.

Real-time Application Sharing With Incredible Video Performance

"With the Z-STATION GT 575 VC, customers can have instant videoconferencing
capabilities without the need for time-consuming system integration,
hardware or software testing. The ZSTATION GT 575 VC has it all," said
Jeff Veis, Product Marketing Manager for the ZSTATION GT. "Our integration
of the PictureTel solution with our hardware was the best possible
solution for ZDS customers. PictureTel is a recognized leader in
videoconferencing solutions, and their support of industry standards
assures ZDS customers of high-quality, high performance conferencing now,
and in the future. One of the aspects of the Z-Station GT 575 VC we are
most proud of is the clarity of the audio and the ease of use. The audio
is so natural you feel as if the person you are talking to is on the other
side of the room rather than across the country! ZDS' Z-LIVE software
provides true, real-time information sharing. With a click of your mouse a
user can share a Windows-based application, transfer a file, or have a
discussion on a shared whiteboard, all while maintaining a simultaneous
video and audio phone call."

Standards For Today And Tomorrow

By adhering to and promoting the H.320 and T. 120 standards, the ZDS GT 575
VC system is compatible with the widest range of existing
videoconferencing systems, including room, LAN-based and other
videoconferencing systems already on the market, and many of those
announced by other videoconferencing vendors. The ZDS/PictureTel product
integration provides easy-to-use solutions now, while maintaining future
compatibility.

Customers and Solutions

ZDS, a long-time vendor of choice in government, education and commercial
accounts, recognizes the need to provide videoconferencing capabilities as
an affordable, fully integrated package. Customer applications of
videoconferencing include:

* Distance learning
* Telecommuting
* Remote Expertise
* Project Collaboration
* Crisis control
* Sales support

"Our key customers are telling us videoconferencing is desirable, but in
the past, too expensive and complicated to implement," said Jeff Loebbaka,
Director of Desktop Systems for Zenith Data Systems. With the Z-STATION GT
575 VC the barriers to adoption are gone."

Pricing and Availability

The Z-STATION GT 575 VC will be available in mid-July through all ZDS
resellers, distributors and sales representatives. Pricing for the
Z-STATION GT 575 VC starts at under $7,000. Resellers set their own
prices, which may vary.
