Leading providers of online video services and content partner to reach global market

PITTSBURGH, PA (March 22, 2000) -- MediaSite, the pioneer in providing automated video management solutions on the Internet, today announced a new strategic alliance with Kamera Interactive Inc. of Stockholm, Sweden, Europe’s leading supplier of syndicated video content for Web use. Kamera will utilize MediaSite’s unique capabilities to create and publish searchable video on the Internet, and the alliance will help MediaSite to expand its growing international business.

Per the agreement, Kamera Interactive and MediaSite will share their respective domestic market resources and expertise to facilitate a complex global expansion process. Kamera Interactive will implement MediaSite’s PublisherÔ 4.0 Suite to create a searchable index of video files for commercial use and syndication.
