TRIO VIDEO FAX CHECK – ISSUE 1 – JUNE 2005

Welcome to Trio Video's inaugural "Fax Check"...our way of touching base to keep you up-to-date with what's happening at Trio. Our priority will always be to keep these brief and respect the importance of your time.

TRIO VIDEO STEPS UP FOR U2
Trio Video was recently contracted as the on-location multi-camera mobile television facilities supplier for Chicago’s United Center concert series of the internationally acclaimed Irish rock band, U2. Trio’s state-of-the-art mobile unit, Tango, provided the high definition broadcast equipment and engineering support, including over 17 high definition cameras, for the U2 concert series that took place from May 7th-12th. Excerpts from the production kicked off ABC-TV’s Good Morning America Summer Concert Series. The concerts, produced by Line by Line Productions, were shot in 24p film-style video, and will be available on DVD later this year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MCDONALD'S
Trio Video continued its long-standing collaboration with McDonald’s on April 15th, when the restaurant giant threw itself a 50th birthday party with the opening of a huge new flagship restaurant in Chicago. Trio Video, and its X1 mobile unit, supplied the broadcast equipment, engineering support and technical crew for the 8-camera worldwide broadcast/webcast of the event on the McDonald’s Network. The celebration commemorated the opening of company founder, Ray Kroc's first McDonald’s restaurant on April 15th, 1955 in Des Plaines, Illinois. Located at Ohio and Clark streets, the new restaurant is 24,000 square feet in size, seats 300 people on two floors and is topped by 60-foot-high Golden Arches. It's built on the site of the former Rock 'n' Roll McDonald’s -- a long-time tourist draw in Chicago.

DOUBLE THE FUN AT WRIGLEY
Chicago baseball fans were in heaven on May 20th-22nd when both Comcast SportsNet Chicago and WGN-TV broadcast the annual Cross Town Classic series between the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox from historic Wrigley Field. Trio’s two state-of-the-art hi-def mobile units, Tango and Phoenix, provided all of the high definition broadcast equipment and engineering support, including over 16 high definition cameras, for this highly popular Major League Baseball event. Adding to the uniqueness, announcers Len Kasper, Bob Brenly, Ken "Hawk" Harrelson and Darrin Jackson covered the action for both WGN-TV and Comcast SportsNet Chicago.
