South San Francisco, CA – February 7, 2008 – Envivio, Inc., the leading technology provider of IP video convergence encoding solutions from mobile to HD, today announced a new agreement which enables digital entertainment services company RealNetworks (Nasdaq: RNWK) to resell the Envivio® 4Caster™ Mobile Series hardware encoding platform. The platform includes the real-time M2 and M4 encoders and 4Manager redundancy system. The agreement enables RealNetworks to offer a complete carrier grade mobile streaming solution.

“Mobile TV streaming is moving to the next level. The continued uptake of mobile streaming services makes it clear that we now need to offer our customers an encoding solution that provides the very highest levels of compression, performance, and service availability,” said Scott MacKenzie, Director of Mobile Solutions at RealNetworks. “The 4Caster Mobile Series platform provides us with that solution. Ever since our collaboration began in 2002, Envivio has repeatedly demonstrated that it’s fully committed to supporting RealNetworks and our customers.”

Envivio and RealNetworks have a longstanding relationship in the mobile streaming market. RealNetworks provides video streaming infrastructure for over 100 leading mobile operators around the world including Vodafone, AT&T, TIM and Telefonica.

“Carrier grade hardware-based solutions represent the future of professional encoding for people that want to offer the next generation of services providing higher levels of video quality, reliability and 24/7 high service availability,” continued MacKenzie. “This new agreement with Envivio will give our customer base access to a real-time encoding solution that’s more suitable for the coming expansion phase of the mobile streaming market.”

“There is no doubt that mobile streaming is coming of age. Operators are no longer satisfied with non-redundant encoding platforms based on standard PCs and software,” said Rudi Polednik, Vice President Marketing and Global Alliances at Envivio. “They are now demanding more professional solutions that support reliable, high quality content delivery on which fee paying services can be justifiably based. Consequently, we are delighted to be expanding our relationship with RealNetworks in the Mobile TV market to help these operators gain access to the solutions they’ll need today and tomorrow.”

Envivio-Powered Mobile Kangaroo TV Used in Formula 1, NASCAR, NFL and Golf Events On Display at Mobile World Congress.

4Caster Encoders Deliver Video to Innovative Wireless Handsets Letting Spectators Access Exclusive Content for a Unique Live-Action Experience

South San Francisco, CA – February 1, 2008 – Envivio Inc., the leading technology provider of IP video convergence solutions from mobile to HD, will showcase the highly successful Kangaroo handheld TV at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain February 11 to 14. Envivio 4Caster MPEG-4 encoders are used by Kangaroo TV to deliver broadcast video feeds at sports events such as Formula 1, NASCAR, NFL and international professional golf tournaments.

Responding to sports fans’ demands for more value at events, Kangaroo TV developed the innovative, compact audio-video entertainment device which provides multiple live video feeds including replays, highlights, and in-car camera views. The wireless handset is part of a unique mobile video application which allows spectators to interact with and access exclusive content such as real-time information and statistics. In essence, Kangaroo TV places each fan in the driver’s seat of their own interactive live-action experience with high quality video delivered to the palm of their hand. With thousands of units available for rent to the public internationally and for purchase in the USA, Kangaroo TV, powered by Envivio, is changing the way people experience live sports.

“Sports content, like racing, is notoriously difficult to encode. Our broadcasts require low bandwidth and low latency. The picture resolution must be the best quality and delivered consistently with almost no delay. This is why we selected the 4Caster encoders from Envivio,” said Jean Arseneau, Executive Vice President Technology, and CTO at Kangaroo Media Inc.

Though spectators enjoy the live action and excitement of being at a sporting event, they were previously limited to the view available from their seat versus the views attained from watching the event on television. Television viewers at home must rely on the programming provided and it’s estimated that over 80% of footage captured for any event isn’t broadcasted. Kangaroo TV provides the best of both worlds, allowing spectators to experience the thrill of being at the live event with even more viewing advantages than a broadcast television audience.

Kangaroo TV is available at every Formula 1 and NASCAR event around the world. The 4Caster encoders travel with Kangaroo TV for each of its broadcasts and their rugged, truck-mounted configuration is perfect for the road. Compatible with the most devices and formats on the market today, the Envivio encoders work seamlessly with the Kangaroo TV handsets.

Using Formula 1 races as an example, the handsets provide trackside spectators access to all the available footage, with pits-to-car audio and exclusive data which includes timing, statistics and real-time analysis features. Each spectator becomes their own director at the event, choosing what turn on the track to watch, which driver to “ride with” or what information to review and when.

“Kangaroo TV represents a true paradigm shift in the way sports enthusiasts can follow and experience live events. Life enhancing video services, like this unique mobile application, can now be offered anytime and anywhere. At Envivio, our encoders help make this a reality,” said Julien Signès, President and CEO of Envivio Inc.

Depending on the type of event, location, and licensing, the Kangaroo TV devices may be either purchased or rented by spectators. The devices have proven to be an incomparable medium for targeted advertising, merchandising, market surveying, and branding. With them, Kangaroo TV provides professional league owners, team owners, sponsors and promoters powerful new ways of reaching their target audiences and maximizing returns.

The Envivio 4Caster encoders selected by Kangaroo TV provide high quality, full resolution video using a variety of bit rate options. Increased bandwidth efficiency, combined with exceptional picture quality at lower bit rates, allows service providers to expand video offerings throughout their distribution networks. Kangaroo TV’s handset is one of the many mobile video devices supported by the awarding winning Envivio encoders. The encoders deliver the most complete implementation of MPEG-4 compression techniques available and are ideal for mobile TV, IPTV, Internet TV, and broadcast services.

Envivio will be demonstrating its world leading mobile streaming and mobile broadcast encoding solutions at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain from February 11th to 14th 2008. Several examples of existing customer deployments, including the Kangaroo TV service, will be on display at stand 2H12.
