Technicolor and Shanghai Film Group Sign JV Agreement to
Build Advanced Digital Post Production Studio

Paris (France) and Shanghai (China) - June 14, 2010 – Technicolor (Euronext Paris 18453; NYSE: TCH) today announced a joint venture with Shanghai Film Group to create a premier post-production studio to serve the fast growing demand for the film, television, advertising, and animation sectors in China.

The new joint venture between Technicolor and Shanghai Film Group, will offer services ranging from front-end processing, dailies, digital intermediates (DI), visual effects (VFX), digital cinema mastering, forensic marking (watermarking), sound mixing, animation production, film 3D, games and other services. The joint venture will also expand into other areas such as video production, management, transmission and access.

Since 1997, China has increasingly been a desirable location for Studios to shoot local Chinese language films for worldwide distribution, but also for filming American productions. A number of productions, such as Karate Kid and Chinese Odyssey 3D, have recently been co-financed by U.S. studios and Chinese film studios.

“The growth of China’s film & TV industry are well known, and adds to the potential of such joint venture in an emergent market desiring more and diverse content,’’ said Frederic Rose, chief executive officer of Technicolor. “Building on our longstanding experience and relationships with top ranking studios and film production companies, this joint venture with Shanghai Film Group will promote the long stride of China’s film and television industry and create a Chinese-based post production studio to serve that market and others.”

“Through cooperation with a global post production leader such as Technicolor, Shanghai Film Group will be able to meet, through this newly created JV, the fast-growing demand in China and even the global market,” says Mr. Ren Zhonglun, President of Shanghai Film Group. “We are looking forward to benefit from Technicolor’s technology, industry know-how and credibility in the area of content creation on a global scale.”

FON compatibility for Technicolor cable gateways

Network operators can offer subscribers access to the world’s largest grouping of free WiFi hotspots

Paris (France), 23 June 2010 - Technicolor (Euronext Paris: 18453; NYSE: TMS) today announced that its WiFi-enabled cable modems and broadband gateways are FON-ready. Commitment to FON means that users can join a community of more than two million subscribers worldwide able to share secure WiFi access.

The FON system depends on secure technology within the WiFi device. This enables the subscriber to open it up as a WiFi hotspot, sharing bandwidth with other users, while maintaining total security for the host’s traffic. In return, the subscriber has access to any other FON spot, anywhere in the world, for free WiFi access.

“A link with the FON system is a strong competitive advantage for the network operator, another compelling reason to attract and retain subscribers,” said Joel Hamon, Head of cable broadband product management at Technicolor. “Those subscribers need to be assured that offering their gateway as a FON spot will not impact on their own access speed and performance, which is why the enabling technology in the gateway is critical. Technicolor WiFi gateways offer this guarantee, which in turn helps our customers reap the benefits of this revenue opportunity.”

“As mobile internet becomes more and more mainstream, mobile content and applications require additional bandwidth. Users who have gadgets like the iPad or a Google Android phone seek WiFi to enjoy faster mobile internet, increasingly for entertainment. FON has built the world's largest WiFi network and collaborates with Telcos and ISPs who want to give their subscribers access to it,” said Alex Puregger, FON’s COO. “We are pleased to work with Technicolor to make their WiFi gateways FON-ready.”

FON established the concept of free shared WiFi access in 2006. Today leading broadband service providers and telco operators such as British Telecom, SFR, ZON Portugal, Time Warner and Comstar Russia offer FON-compatible services.
