ZURICH, Switzerland, December 13 /PRNewswire/ --

- Player-to-Screen Distribution System to be Added to Six New Product 
Lines

Minicom is proud to announce the expansion of its partnership with NEC 
Display Solutions. The joint Minicom and NEC venture began in February of 
2006 with the announcement of the integration of the DS Vision 3000 receiver 
with NEC's Mutleos line of display screens. The partnership will now be 
enlarged to incorporate Minicom receivers in a total of seven different 
models of NEC screens.

"NEC Display Solutions is a world leader in the LCD public
display market while Minicom is a world leader in the player-to-screen last
mile," says Ronni Guggenheim, President of Minicom Europe. "Together, we can
offer a unique quality solution for the booming digital signage market."

Each NEC screen will be fitted with one of Minicom's DS Vision
3000 remote receivers enabling them to receive HD video content from the DS
Vision 3000 broadcaster. Instead of buying a separate external receiver and
installing it themselves, users can now buy the NEC screens and plug the
broadcast unit cable directly into the screens' dedicated CAT5 receiver slot.

The DS Vision 3000 is an advanced CAT5-based multimedia
distribution system delivering dynamic real-time content to multiple screens
up to 300m (1000ft) away.

"Our cooperation with Minicom is a classic win-win situation,"
says Thorsten Prsybyl, Product Line Manager of Public Displays for NEC
Display Solutions. "Being able to fully integrate the DS Vision 3000's
receiver unit into all our new LCD public displays provides our customers
with the best solution available on the market today."
