QUESTEC’S
GOLFPROVIEW TO BE USED AT THE PGA
TOUR’S GREATER VANCOUVER
OPEN
Deer Park, N.Y.
Wednesday, June 24, 1998 -
QuesTec Imaging, Inc. (QuesTec),
(NASD-BB: QSTI), and The Sports Network
(TSN) of Toronto,
Ontario, Canada announce an
agreement under which QuesTec
will provide GolfProViewTM
to TSN during 14-hours of live
television coverage of the Greater Vancouver
Open -- an officially
sanctioned PGA Tour event airing on
August 27-30 from the Northview Golf and
Country Club in Surrey, British
Columbia, Canada. As part of this
agreement TSN will pay QuesTec
$25,000 US for their production
services, while for a second
straight year sponsorship rights
to GolfProViewTM have
been sold to the Esquire Watch
Company.
The GolfProViewTM
system enhances television golf
coverage by providing viewers
with a unique perspective that
accurately represents the
difficulty of putting on certain
greens. To be featured on the
decisive 16th, 17th and 18th
holes of the Northview course,
GolfProViewTM displays
a three-dimensional model of each
green, including the contour and
undulations of the putting
surface, and then graphically
illustrates the optimal path to
the hole for any putt from any
location on the green. This
real-time graphic simulation
shows viewers an "instant
preview" of any putt before
the golfer actually putts for the
hole. The output of the
GolfProViewTM
simulation is used during the
network broadcast as a replay
option and as a commentator
analysis tool in the network
broadcast booth.
This year's Greater
Vancouver Open will mark the
sixth televised PGA tour event
for QuesTec and the third
contract with TSN. With an
estimated worldwide market of $6
million US per year for
GolfProViewTM, QuesTec
is actively pursuing contracts
for national and international
golf tournaments.
As QuesTec's
Christopher J. Malone explains --
"I'm very excited about
returning to Vancouver for the
third year in a row. As an
officially sanctioned PGA Tour
event, the Greater Vancouver Open
continues to be a great place for
QuesTec to showcase our product
and add to our golf production
experience. Judging from the
positive responses received over
the past few years, we are
excited once again to provide
golf viewers our unique views of
the game."
QuesTec develops and
markets proprietary software
systems that capture, render and
display real-time graphic
simulations that can be applied
to sports entertainment, display
media, business and industry.
