Contract with CANAL+

Orad Hi-Tec Systems 11 January 2006 Press Release Kfar Saba, Israel CANAL+ Cyfrowy selects Orad's CyberSport to cover the Polish Ekstraklasa football premier league Orad Hi-Tec Systems (Symbol: OHT) announced today that CANAL+ Cyfrowy, the broadcaster of the Polish Ekstraklasa football premier league, selected the CyberSport system for introducing virtual advertisements and sports enhancement features during the Ekstraklasa games. CANAL+ plans to utilise the system to cover at least three main games every weekend as well as for the weekly highlight show. With CyberSport, real time 3D graphics and animation are superimposed on the playing field and remain tied to their exact position regardless of the camera movement. CyberSport's virtual advertisement plug-in opens to CANAL+ a new revenue stream by placing virtual advertisements around or within the playing field. Additionally, CANAL+ will utilise CyberSport to enhance the broadcast feed with dedicated features such as distance measuring, 9 meters distance indicator, statistics display and other features that increase the viewing experience and thus rating. Commenting on the deal Avi Sharir, President and CEO of Orad: 'CANAL+ Cyfrowy joins a growing number of customers that adopted the CyberSport system. CyberSport offers unique capabilities such as an embedded 4 zone chroma keyer, extremely fast and accurate calibration and set up process and an intuitive and simple user interface. Those were some of the parameters that led CANAL+ to select CyberSport'. 'With this agreement CANAL+ Cyfrowy joins the French, Italian, Brazilian, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, English, Belgium, Mexican, Turkish and many more leagues that are all implementing the Orad sports solution during their football games', Sharir summarised.
