MotionDSP Announces Free and Premium Versions of New vReveal 2.0 with High-Definition Video Enhancement

First Completely-Free Version Provides Consumers with Easy, One-Click Fix for Shaky HD Videos
SAN MATEO, CA, April 21, 2010 - MotionDSP Inc., an industry leader in advanced
video enhancement technology, <http://www.motiondsp.com/> has released vReveal®
<http://www.vreveal.com> 2.0, the latest version of its award-winning consumer
video enhancement software, which now provides support for high-definition (HD)
videos. Plus, for the first time, vReveal software for Windows® is available
in a free version ("vReveal") and a premium version ("vReveal Premium"). In both
versions of vReveal, video enhancement processing runs up to 5x faster on CUDA-enabled
NVIDIA graphics processors (GPUs) than on CPUs, enabling real-time HD enhancement
capability.

Available now for download from the vReveal <http://www.vreveal.com/> and NVIDIA
<http://www.nvidia.com/> websites, vReveal and vReveal Premium make it fast and
easy for even inexperienced users to stabilize, brighten, and sharpen HD videos
with just one click. With the built-in ability to upload to YouTube and Facebook,
the new vReveal is a compelling solution for quickly fixing less-than-ideal video
clips before sharing them online.

“We received a tremendous response to the demonstrations of vReveal fixing dark,
shaky HD videos at CES,” said Mike Sonders, Director of Product at MotionDSP.
“By offering a free version of vReveal, we're now helping anyone with an HD video
camera enjoy a whole new level of video quality.”

Consumers expect the HD videos they capture to have pristine quality, but without
a tripod, video from any handheld camera will shake. And regardless of camera
quality, video captured under less-than-perfect lighting conditions can produce
dark, grainy footage. vReveal 2.0 makes it easy for to fix these and other common
video problems for consumers in the exploding HD video segment, which IDC expects
to account for 60 percent of video camera units sold in 2010, up from 45 percent
in 2009.

“Real-time enhancements to HD video were previously unheard of, but NVIDIA GPUs
and vReveal make it possible,” said Michael Steele, General Manger of Visual
Consumer Solutions. “By pushing the envelope of GPU computing and CUDA technology,
MotionDSP gives consumers a great experience when working with their digital
media.”

Features
New features for vReveal and vReveal Premium include additional video fixes like
Auto White Balance, an all-new set of fun special effects, and faster video-processing
performance on both CPUs and NVIDIA graphics processors. As with previous versions,
vReveal 2.0 can optionally leverage a CUDA-enabled NVIDIA graphics processor
(GPU) to process video enhancements up to 5x faster than with a CPU.

With vReveal, users can fix shaky, dark, and blurry videos, for free. Output
resolution for vReveal is limited to SD (480p), and a temporary watermark is
applied to the lower-right corner of all exported videos.

With vReveal Premium, users can save enhanced videos to HD resolutions, remove
grainy video noise and pixilation with the “Clean” feature, and use super-resolution
technology to add detail to videos for a better viewing experience on big-screen
HDTVs and monitors. vReveal Premium also includes a new “Vintage” effect to give
videos an "old home movie" look.

Pricing and Availability
Compatible with Windows PCs, vReveal 2.0 with HD support is available now as
a free, no-time-limit download from the vReveal website at www.vReveal.com <http://www.vreveal.com/>.


vReveal Premium is available to new customers for US$39.00 from the vReveal website
and is available as a free upgrade to owners of previous versions of vReveal.


About vReveal
The award-winning vReveal software for Windows makes it easy for people to improve
the image quality of video clips captured from cell phones, digital cameras,
HD camcorders, and other mobile devices like the Flip and Apple iPhone. The software
uses proprietary enhancement technology to stabilize, brighten, reduce grainy
video noise, and increase real video resolution.

“MotionDSP vReveal's algorithms employ unique methods to analyze multiple frames
and reconstruct a single, enhanced frame with better quality,” said Dr. Jon Peddie
of Jon Peddie Research. “The algorithms can also preview the stabilization of
shaky videos without pre-processing. This is the kind of stuff you don't see
in other consumer applications.”

A complete solution for organizing, enhancing, and sharing videos, vReveal and
the new vReveal Premium include useful editing features such as rotate and trim,
built-in upload support for Facebook™ and YouTube™, and the ability to capture
print-quality still images from enhanced videos.
