* New $395 Price Offered For Award-Winning Rich Media Tool

NEW YORK, NY — MACWORLD EXPO BOOTH 1346 — July 21, 1999 —
Electrifier, Inc., a leading provider of rich media solutions for the
Internet, announced today that Electrifier(R) Pro now supports Flash,
MP3, and QuickTime 4 real-time streaming content. In recognition of
the growing mainstream interest in QuickTime 4, Electrifier, Inc.
also announced a SRP of $395 for Electrifier Pro — a $200 reduction
from the $595 price. Attendees at Macworld Expo New York can take
advantage of a special show price at the Electrifier, Inc. booth,
#1346.

With Electrifier Pro’s powerful yet intuitive drag-and-drop
authoring, every Web site creator can instantly turn static Web sites
and marketing materials into dazzling, interactive rich media sites.
Companies and developers can use their entire library of existing
content, and now, even integrate Flash and MP3 files or real-time
streaming audio and video in seconds.

“Electrifier Pro’s support for Flash and real-time streaming opens up
exciting new possibilities as we build the next generation of
Web-based educational materials,” said Israel Curtis, Lead
Interactive Media Developer, Courseware Development Initiative,
Brigham Young University. “For example, we’ve been able to take music
students through a composition both visually and aurally using
Electrifier Pro to synchronize a Flash interface with streaming
QDesign audio.”

With Electrifier Pro, QuickTime 4 becomes a superior rich media
delivery system, allowing developers to work with both real-time and
standard server-based streaming content. The result is an eye-popping
presentation compact enough for delivery over even 28.8K connection
speeds.

“QuickTime 4 is the industry-leading multimedia software for both the
Macintosh and Windows platforms and provides the highest quality
streaming available on the Web,” said Clent Richardson, Apple’s vice
president of Worldwide Developer Relations. “Electrifier Pro’s
support for real-time streaming broadcasts, MP3, and Flash makes it
possible for web developers to use all their favorite tools to author
compelling interactive QuickTime presentations.”

Companies and sites such as Suzuki, Reebok, Apple Computer, NASA, and
StarNetwork.com, an interactive television network developed by MIT
and Botticelli Interactive, are using Electrifier Pro to build their
next-generation web presence.
