MediaMagic, AT&T Microelectronics collaborate on "Telemetry-32"

MediaMagic, a division of IPC Technologies, Inc., and AT&T Microelectronics
have announced the first product developed under terms of a joint
development agreement. The Telemetry-32 (code name) Simultaneous
Communications Manager is an add-on peripheral that enables PC users to
perform a variety of communications and multimedia functions
simultaneously.

"We coupled our experience with computers and multimedia with AT&T's
expertise in communications to develop a board with true multitasking
capabilities," said MediaMagic Vice President Ed Prokop. "It's the kind of
innovative customer product we hoped to produce when we announced our
joint development last October. The Telemetry-32 is a cost-effective way
for PC users to expand the capabilities of their computers. It enables a
computer to operate as a fax machine, high-speed modem and answering
machine."

"The combination of concurrent audio and voice and data communications
operating in a true multitasking environment will revolutionize the way PC
users manage their desktop work space," said AT&T Microelectronics Product
Marketing Manager Denis Regimbal. "Once users discover how much more
easily and naturally they can work in this environment, they'll never
settle for less."

The Telemetry-32 Simultaneous Communications Manager is based on AT&T's
VCOS operating system and DSP3207 signal processor. The DSP and VCOS
software make it possible to integrate concurrent audio and telephony into
multimedia desktop computing. Among the telephony features the
Telemetry-32 provides are:

* sending, receiving displaying and selectively printing faxes;
* tracking incoming and outgoing calls;
* recording and tracking calls and monitoring them with
  Caller ID;
* providing easy access to voice mail messages through digital
  answering machine capabilities.

The Telemetry-32 also provides high speed data communications capabilities,
operating at speeds of 19.2 Kbps. This saves on connect charges and users'
time. Because the Telemetry-32 ' features the latest error correction
protocols and compression technology, user data integrity is assured.

In addition, the Telemetry-32 is a complete 16-bit audio board compatible
with all major sound standards.

"The biggest advantage the Telemetry-32 offers is its unique multitasking
feature," said MediaMagic Product Manager Mark Landrum. "For example, with
it, a PC user can enter figures in a spreadsheet, listen to a favorite CD
and send a fax all at the same time. It will increase efficiency as it
helps users make optimum use of their time."

The Telemetry-32 can be used with IBM-compatible PCs equipped with a 386
speed or higher processor. It is scheduled to be on dealers' shelves by
mid-summer.
