Game Footage from Each NBA Team and NBA Draft Day Clips Included

NEW YORK, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ — Yoostar today announced a new agreement with the NBA to feature highlights of game footage from each NBA team along with select NBA Drafts for use in Yoostar’s revolutionary home entertainment system, which will be available in late spring 2009. The new Yoostar(TM) system will allow NBA fans to replace the play by play announcer or color analyst and provide their personal commentary and analysis in video highlights from their favorite team or take their turn as NBA Commissioner in announcing the top picks from NBA Drafts.

Along with the NBA content, the Yoostar system, introduced during the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show, allows users to star in their favorite movie and TV scenes together with the original actors and share their performances online and with family, friends and other Yoostar users.

“We are delighted to welcome the NBA to the Yoostar content family,” said Fredric D. Rosen, CEO, Yoostar Entertainment Group. “Fans will soon be able to experience the thrill, and the challenge, of calling or analyzing real NBA action from their favorite team, or stepping up to the podium as Commissioner and announcing their team’s top draft choice.”

For each NBA team, game footage of the final minutes from a memorable game will be available for fans to access and deliver their personal commentary. Select NBA Draft clips will also be available for fans to insert commentary. The NBA video highlights and NBA Draft clips will be available for purchase and download at NBA.com and www.yoostar.com.

The NBA joins a stellar group of Yoostar content providers including Paramount Pictures Corporation, Universal Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. and Lions Gate Films, Inc.

The Yoostar system ($149.95 suggested retail price) includes all the tools to turn a home or office into a broadcast studio: a sophisticated camera with built-in microphone, green screen, remote control and Yoostar software that runs on both PCs and Macs. The system comes with an assortment of clips, with hundreds of additional film scenes and television moments available for purchase and download at www.yoostar.com.

Each month, users will have access to new clips from the vast libraries of the studios, which include films such as “The Godfather,” “Psycho,” “The Pink Panther” and “Saw.” Yoostar’s patented Active Immersion Technology(TM) digitally removes original actors from scenes and allows users to flawlessly insert themselves into the actor’s place. Users can deliver faithful, on-script performances or their own interpretation of movie scenes while interacting with their favorite stars. The number of takes is unlimited, ensuring that the user gets exactly the performance they want before wrapping the scene.

The Yoostar system allows users to record performances on their PC or Mac for local viewing and to also upload performances to www.yoostar.com for others to view, rate and share. Yoostar.com is a fully developed social networking site where users can build their own personal actor pages, build communities of friends and share favorite performances – on the site itself and through embeddable players and widgets. Yoostar is poised to become one of the largest content-driven and social networking sites, with users having virtually unlimited opportunities to share their starring performances with the world.
