CERRITOS, CA (November
20, 2006) – ADS Tech (www.adstech.com) announced today Instant Video To-Go™, the industry’s
first hardware-based H.264 conversion solution for PCs. Featuring the superior quality encoding that has made ADS
Tech’s growing line of mobile player accessories so popular, ADS Tech’s new
video transfer accelerator provides the convenience of USB 2.0 connectivity in
a small, compact device. The hardware
accelerator incorporated in Instant Video To-Go enables consumers to convert
videos for playback on Apple iPods®, Sony® PSPs and other portable video players up to five times
faster than real time.
With Instant Video To-Go, a 100-min./2GB MPEG2 or VOB video file can be
converted into high-quality (320x240), H.264 video in approximately 20 minutes. The same
video would require about 5 hours to convert with software encoding.

Converter™ 2 software, a simple two-step application that converts the most
popular media formats. MP4, MP3, AVI, WMV, MOV, RM, JPG, and TIFF formats are supported as well

easy solution for converting, enjoying and sharing favorite videos, TV shows
and sporting events any time, any where.
ADS Tech offers a complete line of Mobile Player
Accessories for recording and converting video and music to the iPod/MP3/mobile
player formats. In addition to
Instant Video To-Go, ADS Tech offers DVD Xpress DX2™, Instant
