FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ensequence and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Announce
Strategic Partnership for Blu-ray DiscTM Authoring

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment to Integrate the Ensequence on-Q? Create suite into
“Blu-print”, Sony’s Blu-ray Disc Authoring System, Enabling Blu-ray Disc Developers to
Create and Distribute Dynamic Interactive Experiences to Blu-ray Disc Viewers
Worldwide

CULVER CITY, Calif. and PORTLAND, Ore. — February 20, 2008 — Ensequence, the
interactive television company, and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (SPHE) today announced
a strategic agreement in which SPHE will license and resell the Ensequence on-Q Create suite
for Blu-ray Java (BD-J) to major studios and independent Blu-ray development partners. Blu-ray
Disc developers worldwide will use Ensequence on-Q Create for Blu-ray Java to develop
advanced interactive features for Blu-ray Disc titles.

Java opens up new creative possibilities for Blu-ray Disc authors. However, for traditional DVD
authors with varying skill sets, the Java component of BD-J authoring could prove challenging.
The on-Q Create suite reduces the learning curve by enabling creative teams to design and
develop interactivity for Blu-ray Discs without requiring advanced knowledge of Java and the BDJ
specification. The software offers a drag and drop authoring environment, complete Photoshop
integration and a Blu-ray Disc wizard that offers built-in Blu-ray Disc functionality out of the box.

“The Ensequence on-Q Create suite has drastically reduced the complexity of authoring Java
content on Blu-ray Disc titles, enabling content developers to create compelling, rich and dynamic
interactive experiences in a WYSIWYG environment – and in drastically reduced timeframes,”
said Don Eklund, SPHE’s EVP of Advanced Technology.

Ensequence and SPHE have worked together to make substantial integration changes, enabling
seamless workflow for Blu-ray authoring as well as the creation of complex user interfaces and
animation for Blu-ray Discs. Another challenge for Blu-ray Disc authors is ensuring compatibility
across various BD-J implementations and Blu-ray Disc players on the market. The Ensequence
on-Q Create suite enables compatibility across various players, and supports current and next
generation Blu-ray Disc features including:

• Advanced picture-in-picture functionality (e.g. director’s commentaries overlaid on top of
the video)
• Purchase functionality
• Bonus content, notification about sequels and more

“We were able to apply our expertise in the television set-top box market and create interactive
television experiences for multiple platforms to address the complexity of Blu-ray authoring, which
is just being recognized in the packaged media community,” said Dalen Harrison, CEO,
Ensequence. “With the on-Q Create suite for Blu-ray Java, our customers and resellers are able
to take advantage of the advanced capabilities made available on the most cutting edge
consumer devices today.”
