        <br>
        LINDON, UTAH&#8212;March 30, 2004&#8212;Helius, Inc., the worldwide leader
        in business-class data broadcasting solutions, today announced that it
        will be a host platform
        for patent pending CodecSys technology from Broadcast International,
        (OTC BB: BCST) of Salt Lake City, Utah.<br>
        <br>
        As a leader in the satellite and integration business, Broadcast International
        has teamed with Helius as a Strategic Partner in selling satellite and
        networking integration services. This announcement strengthens that position
        by making the revolutionary CodecSys multi-codec system available to
        the enterprise, broadcast, and cable markets.<br>
        <br>
        CodecSys allows companies to create high quality video and audio transmissions
        at a fraction of the bandwidth traditionally required by other broadcast/streaming
        technologies. As the multi-codec system, CodecSys manages libraries of
        standard and specialized codecs and dynamically changes codecs and codec
        settings to produce the best possible video using the least amount of
        network bandwidth. This codec switch happens on a scene-by-scene or even
        frame-by-frame basis, resulting in a substantially smaller file than
        those compressed by single-codec solutions. CodecSys delivers full-screen,
        full-motion video at the lowest possible bandwidths for video-on-demand,
        live broadcast, distance learning, digital signage, videoconferencing,
        and numerous other applications. <br>
        <br>&#8220;
        CodecSys gives us the ability to provide not only high quality video
        content, but the best video quality available, without the compromise
        required by a single codec,&#8221; said Rod Tiede, President and C.E.O.,
        Broadcast International, Inc. &#8220;Together with the Helius MediaGate
        Router we have a platform for delivery of CodecSys video optimization
        services to a broad market.&#8221; <br>
        <br>
        &#8220;
        As a key partner, Broadcast International provides innovative leadership
        with the CodecSys offering,&#8221; said Ron Heinz, President &amp; CEO,
        Helius, Inc. &#8220;CodecSys technology fits perfectly into the MediaGate
        Router platform, allowing our customers to lower costs and deliver high
        quality programming and content.&#8221;<br>
        <br>
        CodecSys running on the Helius MediaGate Router platform will be demonstrated
        at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) show in Las Vegas,
        Nevada, April 19-22.<br>
        <br>
      The platform will be demonstrated at booth number C10946.</p>
