Press Release Summary: Fifth generation of flagship FS recorder adds fast and
efficient wireless metadata capabilities, more file format support and UDF disk
formatting

Press Release Body: LAS VEGAS, NV (NAB2008) - April 8, 2008 -- Focus Enhancements
Inc (NASDAQ: FCSE), a worldwide leader in media management and ultra wideband (UWB)
wireless technology, today announced that it will showcase its soon-to-be released,
ultra-portable FS-5 Direct To Edit® (DTE) recorder at NAB 2008 from April 14-17 at
the Las Vegas Convention Center, Booth SL2605.

Designed for use with popular DV and HDV cameras, FS-5 introduces a groundbreaking
and unique new technology for tapeless acquisition. FS-5 advanced features provide
users with the ability to quickly and efficiently log custom metadata wirelessly via
a laptop, smartphone or other WiFi capable device while recording media. Users will
be able to select metadata formats that are compatible with different nonlinear
editing (NLE) systems as well as media asset management systems such as Focus
Enhancements' award-winning ProxSys® solution.

"With Direct To Edit Technology, we revolutionized the acquisition process by making
it possible to record in a number of different native NLE file formats that can be
used directly in popular NLE systems," said Matt McEwen, director of product
alliances for Focus Enhancements. "Now that tapeless workflow is becoming the media
acquisition standard, users are seeking a flexible means of easily adding metadata,
that is compatible with their editing and asset management systems, to their
content. We believe our FS-5 addresses those needs by merging content creation and
content management in a new way to allow for easy media identification making the
end-to-end workflow seamless for broadcast and video production groups."

In addition to unprecedented metadata capabilities, new features and capabilities
include:
-- Increased Direct To Edit file format support with the addition of MXF HDV 720p30
and 1080i
50/60 support for Avid NLE systems
-- 50% weight reduction and a 60% reduction in size when compared to the entry
level FS-4
model
-- New rugged and lightweight 1.8" disk drive technology utilizes the UDF file format
-- New low-power and fan-less design utilizes a 3-hour (record time) removable
Li-Ion battery
pack
-- Newly designed user interface and menu system feature an easy to navigate scroll
wheel and
320 x 240 color backlit LCD display for menu and status viewing
-- USB 2.0 interface for fast computer mounting and connection of accessories
-- Wired or optional Wireless network capabilities

The FS-5 will complement the Focus Enhancements family of video production products
that enable video pros to go from acquisition to editing with unparalleled speed,
efficiency, and reliability. Compatible with most HDV and DV camcorders and editing
software, the company's Direct To Edit video recording technology converts the
output from camcorders or VTRs to a NLE format and records to disk via FireWire.

By combining DTE Technology with advanced caching and disk recording, camcorders
paired with Focus Enhancements DTE recorders ensure that shots are never missed and
critical footage is always ready to edit instantly.

Pricing and Availability
A 100GB version of FS-5 is expected to be available in Summer 2008 for a suggested
price of $2,195 (US). For more information, please visit www.focusinfo.com.
