October 1, 2004

June 1st, 2004—Axonix Corporation is shipping Mozaex, the first “Open Architecture” based home media entertainment system with on-demand multi-room viewing of true DVD quality movies, music, TV shows and Web based Email and content.

Mozaex allows multiple users to simultaneously watch true DVD quality movies in Dolby^™ 5.1 Surround Sound. At the same time, other networked users can listen to their favorite music or Internet radio, watch recorded TV shows, email, chat, and surf the Web, show-off family movies or photo albums and even monitor home security cameras from any room in their home. All media is instantly accessible through a hand held wireless remote or wireless keyboard.

Based on an Open Wintel Embedded XP Pro Architecture, Mozaex is the perfect value-added system for Home Integrators since it can be cost effectively installed, supported, expanded and customized using non-proprietary software and hardware. Software interfaces will soon be available that will allow single remote control of both home entertainment and automation systems that centrally control lighting, temperature and security manufactured by companies such as Crestron®, AMX®, HAI®, Philips® and X10®. Mozaex is sold exclusively through Home Integration Partners.

Mozaex installs in minutes on wired or with optional hardware, wireless Ethernet LANs. Mozaex comes complete “Ready-To-Play” with a Server and a set of Set Top Players—requiring no additional hardware, software or costly subscription services. Multiple Servers may be configured to support an unlimited number of rooms and storage capacity.

Mozaex is the most affordable DVD movie server available. While other DVD servers are priced at $38,000 for a one room, 160 DVD movie only solution, Mozaex offers the same DVD capacity as well as music, Web and images for less than $12,000.

Retail pricing starts at $7,495 for a 1 room Mozaex system that stores, on average, 40 DVD movies and hundreds of music CDs, MP3’s, photos and other media. All models come with a 15 inch color LCD monitor and are available in either a desktop or a 19 inch rackmount chassis. Retail pricing for the MediaStore external add-on storage appliance starts at $1,495 for the 250GB and $5,095 for the 1 TeraByte model which stores on average 160 DVD movies. Adding additional rooms costs only $500 for a complete Set Top Player and wireless remote control bundle.
