Enso Audio Imaging Selects Solana TechnologyDevelopment's Electronic DNA Audio Watermarking...

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 14, 1998--Solana Technology Development Corp. today announced that Enso(SM) Audio Imaging Corp. has signed a license agreement to use the company's Electronic DNA(R) audio watermarking technology.

Enso will implement Electronic DNA to protect music

The announcement was made in conjunction with the start of the Intel New York Music Festival and Jupiter Communications Plug.In '98 New Music Meets New Technology Conference.

Audio watermarking has emerged as the premier technology solution for music copyright owners to protect and track usage of their material. By incorporating both Electronic DNA and encryption, Enso now offers its customers the combined benefit of both technologies, providing optimum protection of copyright material.

"The Electronic DNA technology will allow us to further ensure that the content we provide to both on-line and physical retailers is only used in these specific settings to facilitate the sale of music," stated Erika Leber, vice president of sales and marketing for Enso.

"We are extremely pleased that Enso has chosen Electronic DNA over other audio watermarking solutions," said Greg Hampton, director of business development for Solana Technology Development Corp. "By licensing Electronic DNA, Enso is further enhancing its commitment to protect music copyrights."

Solana Technology Development Corp. is a leading developer of innovative audio, video, and wireless communications technologies. Electronic DNA is a suite of technologies for applying imperceptible, secure and robust digital information to audio or video content. Applications for Electronic DNA include copyright management, source authentication, consumer use and recording authorization, broadcast airplay monitoring and EDI systems automation.

Headquartered in Seattle, Enso Audio Imaging Corp. provides on-line and in-store multi-media support to facilitate the sale of music -- transparently and seamlessly. Enso provides music samples from its library of more than 300,000 samples to more than sixty music and music retail sites on the Internet.

Enso's archive of samples will expand to include the entire library of U.S. Compact Discs, roughly 150,000, by the end of 1998.

In addition to providing music samples, Enso also produces custom audio content such as audio music reviews. Enso music reviews are featured on a variety of Internet sites, including Real Networks' Daily Briefing, as well as on music retail sites.
