8 1 Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. Blonder Tongue Laboratories is a designer, manufacturer and 1 supplier of a comprehensive line of electronics and systems equipment for the franchised and private cable television industries. History The Company was founded in 1950 by Isaac (Ike) S. Blonder and Ben H. Tongue. It was in the early days of broadcast TV and they saw a need for Booster Amplifiers to improve fringe-area reception. They started with modest beginnings in Yonkers, New York and introduced the first commercially successful Broadband Booster Amplifier. The company soon branched out into master antenna system design and other efforts that earned Ben Tongue some 30 and Ike Blonder 39 patents in the 1960 s. The company grew rapidly and after several moves, consolidated the operations in Old Bridge, New Jersey, where the company still resides. Ben and Ike sold their Blonder Tongue stake in 1989 and both still work with the company engineers as consultants. Blonder Tongue s offices are headquartered in Old Bridge, New Jersey consisting of a 130,000 square foot facility, on approximately 20 acres of land. In December of 1995, the company successfully completed an initial public offering of shares of its common stock. It is traded on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) under the ticker symbol: BDR. The funds generated were used to acquire the company s Old Bridge facility and reduce the company s outstanding bank debt. Philosophy Blonder Tongue s focus has always been and continues to be customer driven. To this end, we have adopted a philosophy of Quality, as defined by the customer. This philosophy is exemplified by our company slogan, The Standard Of Quality In TV Signal Distribution. Achieving the high standards we have set for ourselves requires a concerted effort from the entire organization. We have

9 addressed the issue of quality from two distinct directions, Product Quality and Service Quality. Product Offering Our goal of offering the highest possible Product Quality has helped us in becoming the largest equipment provider to the private cable market. Our ability to offer our customers a "one-stop-shop" destination has led to the creation of a large and diverse product line. The Blonder Tongue product line can be separated according to function into the following categories: (1) Headend Products used by a system operator for signal acquisition, processing and manipulation for further transmission. (2) Data & Telephony Products used by a system operator to provide Internet access & data transfer as well telephone service over a hybrid fiber/coaxial cable system. (3) Distribution Products used to permit signals to travel to their ultimate destination in a home, apartment unit, hotel room, office, or other terminal location. (4) Subscriber Products used to control access to programming at the subscriber s location and to split and amplify incoming signals for transmission to multiple sites and multiple communication devices within a site. (5) Microwave Products used to transmit the output of headend products to multiple locations using point-to-point communications links in the microwave frequency range. (6) Fiber Optic Products providing the latest option for transmitting and receiving video & data signals. (7) Satellite Receivers (digital and analog) used at an earth station to downconvert, process and prepare satellite signals from the leading providers for viewing and listening. (8) Interdiction Products providing a unique addressable system for cable television signal protection eliminating the need for set-top converters. (9) Test Equipment comprising a complete array of products for measuring signals in Headend, Microwave, Interdiction, and Distribution Products. Product Quality A complete product family is just the beginning of our commitment to Product Quality. Our in-house Research and Development 1 2

10 1 3 department is staffed by experienced and knowledgeable electrical and mechanical engineers. They create and completely evaluate all product specifications, designs and mechanical drawings before they are released to the QC & Manufacturing process. Blonder Tongue maintains a quality assurance program which performs inspection on incoming samples of all purchased parts. For statistical process control, verification tests are performed and test data is taken throughout the entire manufacturing process. Test systems are comprised of commercially available equipment as well as custom in-house built testing systems that incorporate proprietary procedures. Blonder Tongue performs final quality control tests on 100% of its products prior to shipment to customers. The company s manufacturing facilities are located right here in the US at the corporate headquarters where virtually all products are assembled by trained factory technicians. Blonder Tongue prides itself on having total control over the manufacturing & engineering process without having to go to off-shore factories. This eliminates costly delays and communication issues that can occur and reinforces the "Made in USA" motto. The operations are vertically integrated and they consist principally of the assembly and testing of electronic assemblies built from fabricated parts, printed circuit boards & electronic devices. In addition, manufacturing fabricates chassis & cabinets from raw sheet metal for such assemblies. Management continues to implement a significant number of technological advances and engineering changes to the manufacturing process to ensure superior performance, increase production volume and reduce product cost. Some of the recent innovations include: (a) Logistics modifications on the factory floor, (b) An increased use of surface mount, axial lead and radial lead robotics to place electronic components on printed circuit boards, (c) A continuing program of circuit board redesign to make more products compatible with robotic insertion equipment, and (d) An increased integration in machining and fabrication.

11 Service Quality Service Quality at Blonder Tongue is attacked with the same vigor as product quality. Blonder Tongue provides an extensive warranty with every product sold, as almost every product is covered for a full 3 years from the original date of purchase. Telephone technical support for all Blonder Tongue products is always available during normal business hours at no charge. Blonder Tongue can also provide 24-hour support and on-site system engineering for inspection or troubleshooting of field problems. Our field engineers are available on a scheduled basis for a nominal fee. Our systems engineering personnel are very experienced in working with customers constructing systems. They assist them in determining which products are necessary and provide information leading to the development of an effective system for providing the communications capability required. Blonder Tongue provides system design layouts for customers that utilize Blonder Tongue products in the system. Preliminary assistance to determine the quantity and configuration of products is also available. This service is provided free of charge for the initial design layout. Blonder Tongue also provides custom designed products and/or modifications to standard products. Because our engineering staff and manufacturing facilities are located on-site, we can react quickly to these special requests and meet the strict delivery schedule our customers demand. Our sales staff also welcomes bid submittals via our request for proposal (RFP) program and makes specification sheets available for use in evaluating these bids. These sheets provide a comprehensive description of product specifications for determining proper system use. Another value added service Blonder Tongue provides is headend fabrication. Headends are provided, at customer request, completely racked, assembled and drop shipped to the headend final destination. The customer need only unpack, connect the racks to one another, plug into AC power, connect the antenna feeds to the 1 4

12 1 5 headend and the RF output to the distribution system. Complete documentation of the headend design as well as the distribution system design is provided. Blonder Tongue performs all of the system engineering work, manufactures the headend and distribution electronics and delivers everything required to completely build the system. If the customer uses Blonder Tongue s VideoMask Interdiction equipment, this full service program will provide pre-assembled pedestal and/or wall mounted assemblies ready for mounting in configurations for distribution to 1, 4, 8, 12, 16 or 20 subscriber blocks. The headends and multiple subscriber Interdiction assemblies are factory pre-tested, burned in and the performance optimized prior to shipment. The Blonder Tongue warranty on these assemblies is identical to that of the individual components. The specifications for the final headend and Interdiction assemblies are also guaranteed to match those measured at the factory. A guarantee of field performance can also be provided. The procedure can be expanded to include a headend site survey, additional on-site system engineering, and a complete field test of the installed system at a nominal fee consistent with the complexity of the system. By providing these large headend and Interdiction assembly building blocks, the required logistics, on-site labor and the personnel are greatly reduced. Consequently, performance and quality are maximized. Leasing If you would like to be more profitable, have more purchasing flexibility and cash flow predictability with no worries about coping with equipment obsolescence or disposal, a leasing solution from Blonder Tongue/ILC is the smart move. Our leasing solutions are flexible. Upgrades, add-ons, early terminations and sale are handled with ease.

19 OPTION 14 - On Channelock ON CHANNELOCK solves one of the commonly encountered problems of using an Agile Processor in the On Channel Mode. (e.g. channel 9 VHF input, channel 9 VHF output). The problem being addressed manifests itself as picture flutter, similar to the effects of signals reflected from aircraft (although it is caused by a different phenomenon). The flutter most often occurs when the input signal is from an off air antenna or antenna/preamplifier combination. Option 14 is intended to be invoked only when the input is a broadcast channel 2-13 broadcast and the output channel is exactly the same as the input. Do not invoke Option 14 for conversions. Option 14 is invoked by Switch SW2, POSITION 9. Switch SW2, POSITION 9 is found in the bank of front panel accessible output channel selector switches. Place Switch SW2, POSITION 9 down to invoke Option 14, up to disable Option 14. As a reminder, turn offset adjust potentiometer fully clockwise when using this processor in the On Channel mode regardless of whether the processor has Option 14 or not. When setting up a processor for On Channel operation be certain that the switches for the output selector are as required for On Channel operation. Use the following procedure for best results when in the On Channel mode and when using Option
