ATLANTA, (CAB, Cable Advertising Bureau conference), May 1 /PRNewswire- FirstCall/ -- OpenTV Corp. (Nasdaq: OPTV), a leading provider of enabling technologies for advanced digital television services, will show a comprehensive suite of advanced advertising solutions that aids both advertisers and cable operators. Demonstrations will be held at OpenTV's booth 137 at the CAB conference in Atlanta.

"Today's television viewers decide how and when advertisers will reach them," said Tim Evard, Senior VP and GM Products and Marketing at OpenTV. "Investing in anything less than highly targeted and engaging ads within a structure that maximizes inventory will not succeed any longer. OpenTV understands and supports this environment."

Included in the exhibit will be:

* Enhanced Advertising: An end-to-end enhanced advertising system that

engages audiences and increases stay time by enabling compelling,

interactive advertising applications to be created, validated,

scheduled, and launched more quickly and less expensively.

* Addressable Advertising: OpenTV's addressable advertising provides a

video stream switching technology that enables operators to deliver

targeted, more relevant advertising to specific market segments that

match household-specific profiles. It can be integrated at the set-top

to enable linear addressability or elsewhere on the plant to enable

session-based addressability such as VOD, Network PVR, or switched

digital video.

* Sales and Inventory Management Systems: OpenTV's Sales and Inventory

Management Systems enable cable ad sales operators to boost their ad

revenues by increasing impressions, maximizing inventory value and ad

dollar retention, and providing accountability. The solution offers

real-time web-based reporting-as well as an end-to-end sales and

inventory management from proposal through posting-and supports both

traditional linear video inventory and new advanced inventory, including

addressable, interactive, and VOD.
