Lights, Camera, Action: Intel Play Digital Movie Creator Extends PC Experience

Intel Toy Inspires Children to Script and Star in Their Own Home Movies

NEW YORK, Feb.11, 2001 -- Intel Corporation will showcase the Intel® Play™ Digital Movie Creator, the latest addition to its popular line of Intel Play PC-enhanced toys, at the 2001 American International Toy Fair at the Jacob Javits Center (Booth #4342), Feb. 11-15.

The Intel Play Digital Movie Creator is an easy-to-use digital video camera and movie-making software package that allows children to use the PC to script and star in their own feature movies. It is the company's latest product to extend the value and utility of powerful PCs, like ones based on the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor.

"At a price of under $100, the Intel Play Digital Movie Creator is an exciting addition to our line of PC entertainment products. It promises to provide children with endless hours of creative and open-ended play as they record their own feature movies starring themselves, their family and friends," said Jeff Abbate, business segment manager, Intel Play toys.

The Intel Play Digital Movie Creator inspires children to create feature movies using tools like the pros. Designed for children ages eight and older, the Intel Play Digital Movie Creator invites children to direct, film, star in and edit their own movies - all with the power of their PCs.

Children can capture up to 2,000 snapshots and an unprecedented four minutes of video and audio away from the PC - enough footage to turn a child into a producer or an on-location news reporter.

Children can enhance their personal video footage with a full library of titles, special effects, transitions and creative sound files. Children can then share their memorable movie creations, preview "first screenings" on the computer with friends and family, or share them via e-mail over the Internet.

The Intel Play Digital Movie Creator will be available in Fall of 2001 for an estimated retail price of $99. Minimum system requirements include: desktop or notebook PC running an Intel Pentium processor at 266 MHz (or faster) and 64 MB of RAM; USB connection; sound card; 4X CD-ROM; and Windows* 98, 98 SE, Millennium Edition or Windows 2000.
