Press Release Summary: Netvue has installed an IPTV system at the new UK
headquarters of Sony BMG Music Entertainment in Kensington, London, UK.

Press Release Body: 2 Oct 2008: Netvue has installed an IPTV system at the new UK
headquarters of Sony BMG Music Entertainment in Kensington, London.

The IPTV system streams live broadcast television channels from Freeview and
Satellite using Exterity TVgateway and Pro-Encoder products, distributed across Sony
BMG’s local area network. The channels are available for viewing on LCD screens all
around the building as well as on computer desktops using Exterity’s avediaCentre.

Netvue installed and configured rooftop equipment and Exterity head-end equipment as
well as supporting Sony BMG in rolling out the IPTV receivers and desktop
applications.

Mike Blacklee, Facilities Director for Sony BMG, said that he chose an IPTV system
“because it made sense to use the IT network infrastructure as a delivery mechanism
for digital quality pictures in our flagship headquarters building.”

Jonathan Rackowe, Netvue Technical Director explained, "Sony BMG saved themselves
the labour and expense of installing hundreds of metres of coaxial cables by
choosing IPTV, and they gained all the benefits of IPTV, such as video on the
computer desktop".

Colin Farquhar, CEO of Exterity, commented, “As the market leading building IPTV
company, Exterity is improving the way live television and video are distributed
around buildings. Companies like Sony BMG are realising that IPTV represents
significant technological and financial benefits, compared with problematic coaxial
systems.”
