Millstone Medical Outsourcing Selects Epson ColorWorks C7500G Inkjet Label Printer to Ensure Business Flexibility and Scalability to Meet Increasing Customer Demand

ColorWorks C7500G Ensures Customer Satisfaction Through Creation of High-Quality, On-Demand Color and Black & White Label Printing

LONG BEACH, Calif., June 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Epson America, Inc. today announced that Millstone Medical Outsourcing, a Massachusetts-based provider of medical packaging outsourcing solutions, has selected the Epson ColorWorks® C7500G inkjet label printer to create high-quality color and black-and-white packaging labels for its growing roster of orthopedic and spine customers. As a leading provider of packaging and distribution services, including advanced inspection and validation of medical and clean room device packaging and re-packaging, Millstone Medical Outsourcing required a high-quality label printing solution to address the varying demands of its customers, and the Epson ColorWorks C7500G provided a flexible and easy-to-use option to meet their needs(1).

"Our customers demand durable, high-quality label and packaging solutions with sometimes very specific details such as barcodes, graphics and meticulous logos - expectations that laser printers, and even legacy two-step inkjet color printing solutions, just couldn't meet," said Michael Morrissette, program manager, Millstone Medical Outsourcing. "Using the Epson ColorWorks solution to print on-demand, full color labels has allowed us to better manage our expenses and keep up with the ever-changing medical packaging market. The Epson printer is a product that we can rely on to get the job done for our clients."

Careful management and a highly flexible production environment is a requirement of Millstone Medical Outsourcing, particularly because the company offers such a varied service portfolio. Its more than 50 customers in the orthopedic sector alone have different preferences when it comes to label production. By leveraging Epson's ColorWorks C7500G printer, Millstone Medical Outsourcing has been able to achieve exceptional customer satisfaction, producing bright, vibrant color labels that are almost photo-like in quality on a wide range of label media, including glossy stock. The C7500G helps their customers meet their key goal of conveying the high quality of their products by providing a luxurious look and feel that complements the packaging. In addition, the C7500G has helped Millstone Medical Outsourcing to meet the requirements of the Food & Drug Administration's unique device identifier (UDI) system by allowing the easy identification of medical devices and corresponding packages.

To provide the most thorough set of recommendations to its customers, Millstone Medical Outsourcing enlisted the help of Peak-Ryzex, its partner for supply chain services, for additional insight. "We recommended the Epson ColorWorks solution for a few reasons," explained Barry Alves, label systems consultant for Peak-Ryzex, a provider of supply chain, retail, and mobile workforce solutions for business-critical applications including enterprise printing. "Epson label printers can produce labels that are strong enough to endure the harsh atmosphere that orthopedic products may encounter during the sterilization process, including radiation, ethylene oxide and gamma rays. Plus, while not a mandatory characteristic for medical device labels, color coding or color images help users easily distinguish products."

Following purchase of the Epson ColorWorks C7500G, Millstone Medical Outsourcing worked with enLabel Global Services, a technology firm that develops software for highly regulated industries, including medical devices, to make sure the printer passed FDA validation tests. Ken Legault, VP of Sales and Business Development for enLabel commented, "From our perspective, integrating the ColorWorks C7500G into Millstone's workflow just made sense, not only with regard to the ease of use and scalability of the printer itself, but the seamless execution when paired with our software. Epson and enLabel have allowed Millstone to take their labeling to the next level."

Ideal for high mix label requirements, ColorWorks solutions deliver dependable, commercial inkjet printing with fast-drying, durable color inks to meet stringent quality and efficiency demands of Millstone Medical Outsourcing customers. In addition, given the on-demand nature of the printers, Millstone Medical Outsourcing can quickly customize label size and information, eliminating the need to inventory high numbers of pre-printed labels, resulting in much lower overall label costs.

"We are pleased to be able to provide Millstone Medical Outsourcing with an on-demand color labeling solution that offers the flexibility and quality required in a complex manufacturing environment," said Andrew Moore, product manager, Epson America. "The ColorWorks C7500G printer allows the production of full-color labels, when and how they need them, allowing for reduced downtime and full control of business production."

Libratone Presents ONE Click and TOO Bluetooth Portable Speakers Easy on the Ears, Eyes and Body

Danish Design and Exceptional Acoustic Fidelity, For People Immersed in Life Who Expect Immersive Sound

SANTA CLARA, Calif. and COPENHAGEN, Denmark, June 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Libratone introduced the ONE Click and TOO portable Bluetooth speakers, the newest additions to the family of wireless speakers featuring 360-degree premium sound created by leading acoustic and product engineers hailing from the sound capital of Copenhagen.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160614/379269

Unlike other portable Bluetooth speakers, Libratone's speakers are designed with versatility in mind, coupled with exceptional sound quality. Knowing people would carry it from the beach to the campsite to the bridal shower to the barbeque, Libratone's designers created a sleek, highly adaptable speaker that resists water - all while sporting the Danish design aesthetic that is a standard of Libratone products.

"Lugging around a thick, boxy or ball-shaped speaker is hardly liberating, especially when it has inferior sound quality," said Libratone CEO Jan McNair. "We set out to design a portable speaker that's versatile and adaptable, but also looks elegant, sounds spectacular, and is ergonomically minded. This was a big challenge for our acoustic team, which devised highly innovative ways to maximize not only the rich sound quality indoors but also for the outdoors, where deep bass notes and clear high tones could have been muffled or lost."

The ONE Click is about the size and shape of a paperback book and features grommets that allow it to be carried in various adaptable ways, whether clipped to a belt or slipped into a purse or backpack. Surrounded by a rubber bumper and housed in a sleek, water-resistant mesh covering, the ONE Click comes in range of colors: Graphite Grey, Caribbean Green, Cloudy Grey, and Cerise Red. The speaker comes with an adjustable short handle and a handy U-shaped lock for hanging on a bike, a tree branch, a bookshelf, or a bedframe - an optional long strap for over-the-shoulder wear will be available in August. With a click or two, users can change the way it is hung, carried or worn, never having to worry about finding a flat, level surface for setting it up.

"ONE Click adds a new level of freedom and flexibility to your music," said Libratone President Mike Culver. "Great music sets the stage for life's memorable moments, no matter where you go, no matter what you are doing. We designed ONE Click to adapt to any location or scenario, for the person whose life is in motion." ONE Click's dimensions: 4.7 x 1.6 x 8.1 inches; weight: 2 lbs.

The TOO is the playful, portable speaker with big sound packed into a convenient, diminutive grab-and-go package. Shaped like an overstuffed hot dog, the TOO fits easily into a bag or back pocket - as long as you're not wearing skinny jeans - and comes in the same color palette as the ONE Click. TOO's dimensions: 8.3 x 2.6 x 2.3 inches; weight: 1.3 lbs.

Like all Libratone speakers, ONE Click and TOO are specifically tuned to provide a full range of sound without compromise - from the deep bass, to full midrange and crisp treble - so they sound great, whether playing Miles Davis or Miley Cyrus. Along with audio indicative of the Danish acoustic engineering tradition, they are created with the aesthetics of Copenhagen's design character, which is known for minimalism and timeless elegance combined with thoughtful functional purpose. The end result is fidelity, flexibility and fashion all co-existing in single, smart package.

The ONE Click and TOO feature 360-degree sound, projecting audio in every direction. Wherever the speaker is placed, everyone has an equally clear, direct acoustic experience, without having to deal with the compromised sound of a traditional one-sided speaker pointed in the wrong direction. Battery life is more than 12 hours and the speakers can be controlled and linked via the Libratone app for iOS and Android. The speakers include a touch interface and feature Bluetooth 4.1, and Bluetooth +1 technology, which means you can pair two of them together from the app for a fuller, even more immersive sound.

The ONE Click and TOO speakers come with a money back "no questions asked" return policy because Libratone knows you want to hear the speakers in real life. Simply buy the speakers at http://www.libratone.com and try them out for 30 days. A pre-paid return label is included in the box, so if you're unsatisfied, you can ship it back. Shipping is free both ways.

The ONE Click is available now for $199; the TOO will be available on July 1 for $149.

KamaGames Launches 3D BlackJack

DUBLIN, June 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    KamaGames(R), a global developer and publisher of social games for mobile platforms &
PlayStation Network, today announced the launch of its latest social casino title 3D
BlackJack via the Apple App Store and on Google Play.

    This latest release from KamaGames follows the 6th birthday celebrations for its flag
ship title Pokerist(R) Texas Poker which was the developer and publisher's first social
casino title released worldwide launching first on Facebook and then on iOS and Android on
28th May 2010. Since then, the game has been localized into 28 different languages
including Arabic, Indonesian, and Hindi and released on the Yahoo store, Windows Phone
Store, Amazon Apps Store and Apple TV. To date over 81 million players around the world
have sat down at the Pokerist's tables making it the #1 Top Grossing App on the Apple App
Store in 89 countries as well as being in the Top 5 Google Play Grossing Apps in 24
countries.    

    Daniel Kashti, KamaGames' Chief Marketing Officer said "We are incredibly proud of
Pokerist's huge success over the years and wanted to say a big thank you to all of our
players and supporters that have made the game what it is and it's fantastic to see that
Pokerist is more than just a social casino game to so many of our players. Pokerist's
incredible reach and long lasting legacy, provides KamaGames with a unique view into the
social casino ecosystem. We have found that a vast number of our players use the game to
not just play poker but also - and in some regions mostly - to interact with other
players. We were absolutely amazed to see that over the past 6 years over 4 billion
player-to-player chat messages were sent at the table, 1.3 billion private messages were
sent between players, over 200 million new connections were made and a staggering 500
billion gifts were sent between our players".

    As well as these interesting player insights, KamaGames also released details of it's
in-game research findings from the past 6 years that showed over 2.8 trillion hands of
poker have been played since 2010 with more than 70,000 trillion chips being won, the
biggest win by a single player of all time being 50 billion.

    "We are so incredibly lucky to have such an in-depth game insight solution here at
KamaGames which not only allows us to focus on our areas of growth but also gives us some
eye-opening and fun facts too" Kashti continued, "for example, it was interesting to see
that Hong Kong and Singapore have the more advanced players in the game. When it comes to
socializing through the game, our research found that players from Russia were the most
flirting (yet Romania was the runner-up when we factored in market size), but the country
that sends the most virtual kisses was actually the USA! When we looked at the trends, it
became clear that the social aspect of the game has increased over the years (double
digits), with the game taking a more prominent place in player's interactions with their
Pokerist friends and we are expecting 3D BlackJack to continue this shift".

    Launching today, KamaGames' 3D BlackJack is the first of its titles to feature true
motion captured table action giving players a unique gaming experience never seen before
in a social casino title. As well as stunning 3D graphics, embedded chat system, and a
simple to use, one tap user interface, 3D BlackJack takes full advantage of KamaGames'
single account and shared login system which means players can seamlessly move their
profile across other titles in the KamaGames catalogue including Pokerist Texas Poker and
Roulettist(R).

    "KamaGames is constantly looking to innovate and improve on our already high standard
of quality games and to also deliver a slick and truly social experience that we are
becoming known for. After significant investment in researching and experimenting with
motion capture technologies, it is fantastic to see such impressive results. Converting a
classic single player game into a multiplayer experience is at the heart of this product,"
commented Kashti.

    KamaGames' 3D BlackJack is available to download for free from the Apple App Store and
is on Google Play from today and will also be released on Windows Phone in the near
future.

pentahotels Makes the Gamer Heart Skip a Beat

FRANKFURT AM MAIN, Germany, June 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Introducing the new suite category PentaPlayerPad

    pentahotels is going to the next hotel level. The neighbourhood-lifestyle brand
pentahotels is introducing a new innovative and exciting category of rooms - the
PentaPlayerPad.

(Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160614/379093 )

    The stylish penta-experience already begins upon arrival. The room keys are handed out
at the design-bar - along with a drink if you wish. Rather than feeling like a
conventional hotel reception the vibe will be that of a chill-out area of a cool club.
Design furniture, a billiard table, pinball machine, Sony Playstation4 and free WiFi all
add to the relaxed atmosphere in the lounge. It's no wonder that the pentalounge has
become the hallmark of the hotel chain and a hotspot for gamers during the day and night.

    With the launch of the PentaPlayerPad in Brussels, Liege and Paris, pentahotels has
landed another hit for all guests who like to spend more time in their rooms without
getting bored. Equipped with football tables, Sony Playstation4 or pinball machines, the
gamers' paradise brings the pentalounge-style entertainment to the hotel rooms. And to top
it all off, room service offers everything the gamer could want to eat: tasty club
sandwiches, fresh pizza and the classic "pentaburger" can be delivered to the room -
pizzas are even available 24/7.  

    Alastair Thomann, Managing Director of pentahotels, is delighted to introduce the new
experience for the penta-guests: "In 2007 we introduced the neighbourhood-lifestyle
feeling for our guests with the launch of the pentalounge - a combination of lounge, bar,
cafe and reception. Since then we have continued to develop this open plan design with
special refinements. With the PentaPlayerPad we are looking to further expand our position
as a key trendsetter in the innovative hotel segment and to strengthen our brand
positioning. The feedback from our customers has been extremely positive and thus, we are
working on equipping more of our 5086 rooms worldwide with gamer consoles and similar
gadgets. The goal is to have all pentahotels equipped with the new pads by 2017."

    pentahotels represents a new generation of hotels. Known for its unique interior
design and "neighbourhood" feel, the lifestyle brand stands for true innovation in the
industry's 4-star segment. With 28 hotels across seven countries on two continents,
pentahotels offers individual and business travellers comfort and style in a relaxed
atmosphere. The hallmark of the hotel chain is the pentalounge - a combination of lounge,
bar, cafe and reception - that stands out with its "living room" look and feel. For

Innovative devices help enterprises and small to medium businesses customize workflows to simplify information flow

MALVERN, Pa., June 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh today unveiled its latest color multifunction printer (MFP) series to help workers at small to medium businesses and enterprises improve productivity, save time and accomplish more. The RICOH MP C3004/MP C3504/MP C4504/MP C6004 color MFP series brings new levels of digital workflow automation to the workplace and empowers users to customize how they share information in today's new world of work. It provides users with the ability to use the same actions they use every day on their smartphones and tablets - including pinching, flicking and swiping - to quickly transition from one job to the next with ease.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140718/128670

As today's workstyles continue to change, the need for innovative technologies has increased. This is why Ricoh has brought Workstyle Innovation Technology, the next generation of office automation, to the forefront of its portfolio. Today, employees are accustomed to sharing and receiving information how they want to, when they want to, without delay. The RICOH MP C3004/MP C3504/MP C4504/MP C6004 series utilizes the building blocks of Workstyle Innovation Technology to efficiently enable this information flow with speed and convenience thanks to its new 10.1" Wide Super VGA Smart Operation Panel. This next-generation platform empowers users to create one-touch shortcuts to automate manual tasks, place customized information-rich widgets on the control panel and access details quickly and intuitively with a single glance. 

"In our fast-paced work environments, the need to capture, transform and manage information more quickly, especially for mobile workers, is increasingly important," said John Brophy, Vice President, Product Marketing, Ricoh USA, Inc. "This is precisely why we implemented new and intuitive features - to help simplify a customer's workday, to help overcome their business challenges and to help streamline business. Moreover, this newest MFP series utilizes advanced technologies that deliver greener operations, accomplishing a full range of document-related tasks without compromising the environment or the bottom line. This effort is consistent with Ricoh's goals of developing products for a more sustainable future, as recognized by the highly coveted 2016 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year Award."

The RICOH MP C3004/MP C3504/MP C4504/MP C6004 series increases productivity while saving energy.

Skytap Advances Container Modernization with Introduction of Skytap Driver for Docker Machine

Skytap Driver empowers enterprises to evolve traditional applications to microservice architectures and gain flexibility in technology choices

SEATTLE, June 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Skytap, Inc., a popular cloud service for application modernization, is announcing a driver for Docker Machine. The Skytap Driver extends the native functionality of Docker Machine to Skytap Cloud. With this new feature, enterprises can safely modernize traditional on-premises application architectures to container architectures within Skytap Cloud, without impacting any currently in-use environments.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141218/165173LOGO

Enterprises are in the evaluation stage of adopting container technologies while concurrently trying to modernize traditional applications. "Some legacy vendors experiment with running their applications in containers. Elsewhere, enterprise software architects increasingly turn their attention to breaking monolithic legacy apps into their constituent parts, each running in scalable, portable containers," wrote Paul Miller, senior analyst serving CIOs at Forrester, in a May 2016 brief titled, "Brief: Why The CIO Must Care About Containers."

The new Skytap Driver enables application teams to begin containerizing their existing applications while avoiding the need to rearchitect the full application from scratch.

The Skytap Driver for Docker Machine enables application teams to remotely:

    --  Provision Docker hosts using a standard or custom virtual machine (VM)
        Skytap template into a new or existing Skytap environment.
    --  Control the VM machine state of the Docker host running within a Skytap
        environment.
    --  Manage the Docker host running within Skytap.
"Unlike other cloud providers that require enterprises to rearchitect or build apps from the ground up, we enable application teams to incrementally evolve traditional enterprise applications to modern microservices architectures," said Brian White, VP of products, Skytap. "With the Skytap Driver for Docker Machine, we're providing a seamless experience for using Skytap Cloud within the Docker toolchain."

The Skytap Driver for Docker Machine is now generally available and provided free to Skytap customers via the Apache License, version 2.0. Download the new Skytap Driver for Docker Machine here: github.com/skytap/docker-machine-driver-skytap, and learn how to use it by viewing this three-minute demo: https://youtu.be/PZFLyCAPSyM.

Skytap is hosting a complimentary reception on Tues., Jun. 21, from 4:30-7:00 p.m. at the Tap House Grill near the upcoming DockerCon in Seattle. There will be networking followed by an expert panel discussing the topic "Containerization: Moving Beyond the Buzz." Please register here to join: http://www.bit.ly/sea-reception.

About Skytap, Inc.
Skytap is a public cloud provider that extends enterprise Cloud and DevOps strategies to traditional on-premises applications. Skytap uniquely supports application modernization with production-ready development, software testing and training environments that work the same way as an on-premises data center. Skytap packages servers, VMs, networks, data and configurations into environments that can be provisioned, cloned, suspended and shared around the world with a single click.

Ricoh brings big capabilities in small footprint with new black and white MFP

RICOH MP 305SPF helps unify and streamline workflows throughout the organization, while providing 11" x 17" printing, faxing, copying and scanning capabilities in a device that comfortably fits on a desktop

MALVERN, Pa., June 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh USA, Inc. today unveiled its latest device to help offices and businesses streamline their workflows and do more from one, centralized device. The ENERGY STAR® certified and EPEAT® Silver rated* RICOH MP 305SPF digital multifunction printer (MFP) helps users manage multiple jobs of varying sizes seamlessly from their desktops. Ricoh's new Workstyle Innovation Technology, the next generation of office automation, powers a next-generation 10.1" Wide Super VGA Smart Operation Panel to simplify workflows, set customized shortcuts and toggle between jobs with the same gestures used on smartphones and tablets - including pinching, flicking and swiping.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140718/128670

In work environments where presentations and meetings occur frequently, the ability to print, copy, fax and scan 11" x 17" jobs is occasionally necessary. Yet, devices that meet this requirement have historically been too large and too loud to fit on a front desk or counter areas within retail environments, construction sites or small businesses. Despite its small footprint, the RICOH MP 305SPF can print on 11" x 17" paper (A3), and also help users stay focused on their day jobs with features such as a low-noise mode for whisper-like operation.

"In the new world of work, streamlining everything from workflows to real estate utilization is paramount," said John Brophy, Vice President, Product Marketing, Ricoh USA, Inc. "Workstyle Innovation Technology comprises the building blocks necessary to make these needs a reality for our customers. The intelligent design of the RICOH MP 305SPF delivers the capabilities modern businesses need while minimizing footprint requirements, IT burden, and complexity - essential components to overcoming today's business challenges."

The RICOH MP 305SPF's next-generation Smart Operation Panel further empowers users to collaborate efficiently and effectively, enabling scanning to a variety of locations, and copying, printing and faxing through a few quick and easy clicks. By unifying these capabilities in one compact device, workflows are further streamlined reducing the need to move from device to device to get tasks done. Additionally, IT and supply costs are reduced when fewer devices need to be monitored, maintained and managed.

With speeds of up to 30 black-and-white prints/copies per minute, the RICOH MP 305SPF enables users to do more in less time, whether directly from the MFP or from other mobile devices. With Ricoh's Smart Device Connector app, workers can seamlessly integrate mobile devices, share information between other Ricoh devices and access information stored securely in the cloud.

New Dirt Bikes Super Racing Game Developed by Gametop

SINGAPORE, June 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Casual gaming giant Gametop has developed a new game geared towards players who enjoy dirt bike racing. The game is called Dirt Bikes Super Racing and built upon the time-tested techniques seen in other popular physics-based motocross games.

Sergei Eliseev, the founder of Gametop said, "Dirt Bikes Super Racing answers to the calls of users who have requested Gametop to develop more games for the racing genre. While Gametop has several hundred games available across many popular genres, it's known that motorcycle, car and racing games in general are always popular and loved among our users."

Dirt Bikes Super Racing is a game where players are competing against several computer-controlled drivers. The gameplay is intuitive and fits perfectly with the casual gaming niche. All the user has to do is to control the speed of the motorcycle and balance the driver accordingly.

The game is built upon a physics engine which means it is easy to understand, but hard to master when the levels are getting tougher. The race course is filled with obstacles and the player needs to find the right balance between speed, angle and position of the driver on the dirt bike.

    --  More than 100 levels of addictive gameplay and several unlockable dirt
        bikes

        documents and can easily handle regular A8 to A3 paper sizes, as well as
        folded A2 documents and plastic cards. Efficiently handling both thick
        and thin documents, the scanners require no burdensome pre-sorting with
        mixed batch scanning.
    --  Automatic Stacker Boosts Productivity: The adjustable-speed rollers
        control the paper output, so that documents are neatly stacked.
        Organized paper output increases work efficiency by eliminating time
        spent realigning messy stacks.
    --  New Manual Feed Mode: With a switch of a button, users can scan
        envelopes, bound pamphlets, and extra thick media, expanding the variety
        of documents that can be captured without a flatbed.
    --  Intelligent Multi-feed Function (iMFF): Utilizing ultrasonic sensors,
        the scanner can increase daily throughput by ignoring labels and sticky
        notes while still protecting against data loss from multi-feeds.
    --  Software Enhancements: With PaperStream IP TWAIN and ISIS image
        enhancement technology, documents are automatically converted into
        exceptionally clean images. PaperStream Capture allows users to complete
        scanning processes faster and easier than ever before. Scanner Central
        Admin dramatically reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) and work
        that goes into setting up, operating and maintaining multiple Fujitsu
        scanners within in an organization. An upgrade to PaperStream Capture
        Pro provides customers enhanced indexing, document separation, and after
        scan correction for optimal productivity.
"Years of industry leadership and scanning technology advancements have enabled us to design the most compact scanners in their class that deliver functional excellence, high-quality images and ease of daily use," said Scott Francis senior VP of product management, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc.

Sony Interactive Entertainment America Unveils Extraordinary Gaming Experiences For PlayStation®4 And PlayStation®VR At E3 2016

LOS ANGELES, June 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- At its annual E3 press conference today, Sony Interactive Entertainment America LLC (SIEA) debuted a line-up of premier content for PlayStation®4 (PS4(TM)), including Days Gone (SIE Bend Studio), Spider-Man (Insomniac Games), LEGO® Star Wars(TM): The Force Awakens(TM) (TT Games and Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment), God of War (SIE Santa Monica Studio), DEATH STRANDING (Kojima Productions), FINAL FANTASY® XV (Square Enix), RESIDENT EVIL® 7 biohazard (Capcom Co.), and many more.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20020701/SFM066LOGO

SIEA also announced the North American launch date of October for PlayStation®VR (PS VR), a virtual reality system that takes PS4 to the next level of immersion. Along with the launch date announcement, SIEA unveiled a breadth of unique PS VR experiences, including Farpoint (Impulse Gear), Star Wars(TM) Battlefront(TM): X-Wing VR Mission (Electronic Arts), and Batman(TM): Arkham VR (RockSteady and Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment).

"PlayStation's heritage has been built around innovation and ground-breaking gaming experiences, and today's reveals of new PS4 and PS VR content speaks to our continued commitment to this evolution of gaming," said Shawn Layden, President of SIEA and Chairman of SIE Worldwide Studios. "From the reimagining of God of War to the brand new world of Days Gone, this E3 marks one of the best content line-ups in PlayStation history. With the launch of PS VR on the horizon, innovation also has never been stronger at PlayStation, as developers, from smaller independent teams to larger studios, have been able to quickly leverage the technology and create unique experiences that truly embody VR's potential."

PlayStation®4

PS4 continues to remain the fastest-selling console in PlayStation® history with more than 40 million units sold worldwide, and new game announcements revealed on stage at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles demonstrated how PS4's library will further expand with an unparalleled line-up of games. SIE's Worldwide Studios (SIE WWS) unveiled three new ambitious games during the show -- God of War, Spider-Man and Days Gone.  Developed by Santa Monica Studio, God of War opened the show with a reveal showcasing a refreshed gameplay experience that continues the next chapter for iconic character, Kratos.  As part of the reveal, renowned musical artist Bear McCreary, composer for God of War, shared his score for the game while conducting an incredible live orchestra.

The debut of Spider-Man for PS4 introduced players for the first time to an authentic new Spider-Man story and universe being developed through a close collaboration between Insomniac Games, Marvel and San Mateo Studio. Additionally, Days Gone marks the long-awaited return of Bend Studio, who debuted a trailer highlighting a story about loss and regret set in a stunningly realistic high-desert of the Pacific Northwest, and closed the press conference with a live demonstration of emergent, open-world gameplay.

Other featured titles from SIE WWS included highly-anticipated titles Horizon Zero Dawn, Detroit: Become Human, and The Last Guardian. SIEA also announced that The Last Guardian will launch on October 25, 2016.  Also, in partnership with SIE, celebrated game creator Hideo Kojima took to the stage to announce his new PS4 exclusive title, DEATH STRANDING. DEATH STRANDING will be produced, written, directed and designed by Hideo Kojima himself, and will star actor Norman Reedus.

In addition to the wealth of content coming from SIE's WWS, partnerships with the industry's leading developers and publishers will further solidify PS4 as the best place to play for gamers. At the press conference, SIEA announced it has worked with Activision to bring back one of PlayStation's fan favorite characters, Crash Bandicoot. Coming to PS4 first this October, Crash appears in Skylanders® Imaginators, the latest game from one of the most beloved franchises. Additionally, in 2017, fans can play Crash 1, Crash 2, and Crash Warped, fully remastered for PS4 by Activision and Vicarious Visions. SIE will also continue its partnership with Activision on Call of Duty®: Infinite Warfare, ensuring once again that PlayStation is home to one of the world's biggest franchises.

    Security cameras have come a long way in recent years. Once the realm of traditional
CCTV systems, more security projects these days are built around thermal technology due to
the 24/7, all weather detection capabilities of these devices. The need for better target
detection has created a demand for thermal cameras that will be able to integrate with
end-point analytics software that facilitates easier target detection and tracking.

    "With our growing line of Vumii(R) thermal imaging systems, we are always seeking ways
to reinvent thermal imaging and bring new technologies to market," stated Amit Mattatia,

by offering a cost effective option and a truly open platform to system integrators and
software developers alike. This is yet a further proof of Opgal's ability to leverage its
vast experience in creating game-changing products."

    Equipped with both thermal and HD visible-light channels for day and night
surveillance, Sii OP meets global ONVIF standards to ensure interoperability of hardware
and software products for easy integration to both existing and new infrastructures,
regardless of manufacturer.

    Sii OP will be available from Opgal via a growing network of solution providers and
distributors in all major countries, and will be offered with pre-integration to some of
the leading VMS and analytics software in the market. Opgal will unveil the Sii OP at the
IFSEC exhibition to be held June 21-23, 2016 at the ExCeL London, UK convention center.

"SKYBOXE offers a distinct alternative to high priced cable or satellite TV while amassing distribution very differently from how Apple TV, Roku, TiVo, Chromecast or Amazon Prime operates," said Isaac Jacobson, EVP of Corporate Development. "Our patent pending solution also allows a large volume distribution base using white labeled platforms for bulk installs at hotels, college campuses, residential centers, big box retailers and ISPs allowing them to embed their own brand and offerings throughout the television viewing experience."

SKYBOXE runs on Android providing Local, Over the Air Programming, Cable TV Network APPs, IPTV, OTT Networks, Video Gaming, Music, Play Store, LTE Internet and Internet Telephony, the next bundle.

"The patents, the history of the team, and the technologists they have assembled led by its CTO, Sun Chang of Microsoft and Samsung, all enable SKYBOXE to become the next big player in the 'cord cutting' environment. The company provides a cost effective and efficient way to watch television, including local channels, on any device," said Nyhl Henson, SKYBOXE board member and CEO of StreamerZz.  Mr. Henson is credited with involvement in CMT, MTV and Nickelodeon and referred to by Hollywood talent agency, CAA as the Edison of pay per view.

About SKYBOXE Three years in the making, SKYBOXE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Applied Digital Research; a Delaware Corporation headquartered in Sarasota, Florida.  The team consists of pioneers from the entertainment and media world along with some of the top television developers from LG, MS and Samsung. 

The company will launch the service later this year in the USA, Canada and Mexico.  SKYBOXE plans a B2B offering geared towards big box retail, hotel networks, college dorms and assisted living facilities.  SKYBOXE has set out to revolutionize the next generation of television as a la carte content packages make their way to the web.
