Creative Affinities - Affiliates

Creative Affinities Inc. maintains a close affiliation with respected manufacturers of
creative systems. This permits us to produce and advance our own applications to interact with our users' preferred choice of equipment/systems.

Additionally, we may highlight certain offerings from another developer when we are impressed by applications that are not part of our own development plans.

Here we highlight a few of these special affiliates

- Quest Research & Development

- Pixel Power

- Miranda Technologies

Quest offers integrated systems that accept data from various inputs, determines which data to select
for the interest of a particular broadcaster's viewers, and displays it in a timely attractive manner.

We are particularly impressed with Quest's SDN application:

Screen Divided News (SDN)

The SDN system is typically used for full management of a 24/7 information channel,
presenting an variety of video, audio and data sources. Users decide how to arrange
their choice of sub-windows to be displayed at any particular time, together with
what content is to be delivered into each sub-window, and how each sub-window is
to be refreshed. The system even provides its own scheduler and playout automation
in a smartly integrated package that handles all of the needs for these 24/7 channels.

Other Quest applications of definite interest are:

The Breakfast Bar is typically featured during
morning news shows, displaying traffic, weather,
time and other current conditions.

Q-Alert has direct links to major data providers (such as the National Weather Service) so that real-time warnings and advisories can be displayed on-air on a selectable local basis.

Quest provides a comprehensive system for school/company
officials to administer in a simple fashion (by telephone or web)
to advise the public about the status of their organization(s).

These and other interesting Quest applications may be explored at www.questrd.com.
