NEXT-GENERATION STORAGE AND ASSET MANAGEMENT FIRM CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY LAUNCHES

Successful Spin-Off of Media Distributors to Offer Hardware and Software Products to Leading Media & Entertainment and Corporate Accounts

        STUDIO CITY, CA - Cutting Edge Technology, a leading reseller and  developer of next-generation storage and asset management products for  video professionals, today announced that it has officially launched  its business. The company, spun out of Media Distributors, the  nation's largest independent distributor of professional recording  media products for the production, broadcast and entertainment  industries, will continue to offer an array of innovative products and  services for large-scale media & entertainment, corporate, and  government and military video firms and will continue its status as an  Avid premier gold reseller for Southern California and as an Apple Pro  reseller.

Cutting Edge Technology, based in Studio City, California, has fast  developed a reputation as one of the industry's leading file-based  workflow experts, having developed the most sophisticated storage and  asset management software system, Constellation VCM?, which has been  sold to firms that include Universal Sports and Point360. Its Archive  Station? system was recently used to manage all video workflow for the  David Fincher feature "The Social Network."  Cutting Edge Technology  has developed products such as the Fusion Drive, a unique hybrid  recorder/asset management system that enables cost-effective HD video  editing and effects processing, as well as the Remote Station, a  remote editing facility-in-a-box solution, for clients that include  the X-Games, Iron Man Triathlon and the GRAMMY Awards. The company  also provided technical services for the live 2-disc DVD "If All Goes  Wrong," which chronicles the rock band Smashing Pumpkins return to  performing.

"Our growth in the software and services side of our business over the  past two years at Media Distributors had been so astronomical that it  made sense to create a stand-alone, separate entity to focus more  directly on the asset management needs of our customer base," said  Steve Klein, CEO of Cutting Edge Technology.  "The media industry has  reached a tipping point in file-based workflow, and we are poised to  take greater share of this powerful shift in the creation and  distribution of digital assets."

Klein founded Media Distributors in 1998, and created a division in  2008 within the company to focus on the development of proprietary  products and solutions for its growing base of file-based workflow  customers.  In addition to Klein, the entire technology group of Media  Distributors will come over to Cutting Edge Technology.

Media Distributors will retain its tape and optical disc media sales  and services business.  Cutting Edge Technology will retain its renowned film product and services business, in addition to its roster  of hardware and software products.

Klein is highly regarded in the film and recording media industries  for understanding technical inflection points.  He was previously a partner in a media company that sold to Daisytek. in 1995, just as the  digital media business was ramping up, prior to founding Media  Distributors.  He began his career as a film editor, working on such  Hollywood blockbusters as ?Star Trek? and alongside such producers and  directors as Richard Donner and Hal Ashby, among others.
