AgileVision demonstrated seamless splicing, content insertion and logo insertion all in the compressed domain years ago. We were premature, the market was not ready at the time, so we focused on PBS and delivered a few systems to some of the early public broadcasters of the PBS HDTV feed. We reached the point in 2001 where the investors tired and we couldn't sustain ourselves in a market that still wasn't quite ready. We started to shop the company and at the beginning of 2002 I completed a transaction to sell it to Leitch. Can't help but to look back and wish we had had some staying power!
