Red Hen Systems – 2005 - CONFIDENTIAL
Background• Red Hen Systems was formed in 1997 with a focus
on serving the agricultural industry• In 2003, Red Hen Systems turned its focus
completely to pursue more lucrative market opportunities and spun off Red Hen Farming Systems
• The company has been funded by a single individual since its inception
• Red Hen Systems is a world leader in geospatial multimedia (tagging still and motion imagery with GPS coordinates)
Red Hen Systems – 2005 - CONFIDENTIAL
GeoSpatial Multimedia
The integration of location with “image” data
• Video• Audio• Digital Stills• Immersive Imagery• Radio/Cell Transmission
The use and analysis of results within a map to make decisions
Red Hen Systems – 2005 - CONFIDENTIAL
Current Status
• Solid core of committed individuals• Good pipeline of products and demand
for 2006• Emerging market opportunities in:
– Defense and Intelligence– Asset Management
• Municipal• Utilities/Corridor
Red Hen Systems – 2005 - CONFIDENTIAL
Who uses Geospatial Multimedia?
• Over 1,000 Users– Defense/Intelligence/Homeland Security– Asset Management– Utilities & Pipelines– Transportation– Natural Resources
Red Hen Systems – 2005 - CONFIDENTIAL
Why is Geospatial Multimedia used?
• Reduce Cost– Reduce number of people in the field gathering data– Maximize results from each trip to the field– Make better decisions
• Reduce Time– Get information to decision makers faster– Get teams out to take action more quickly
• Reduce Risk– Minimize exposure to management situations
• Improve Quality of Data– Increase interaction time with real-world situations– Gather data from difficult locations
• Improve Communication– Easily keep teams informed

Patents• GPS Video Mapping System
– Method for using the audio channel of the video to record GPS and directional information
– Representing the video as an icon appearing at the GPS coordinates on a geographical map
– Indexing and playing back the video via latitude and longitude
– A moving cursor in the mapping environment that represents where the video is playing
• Method for Matching Geographic Information with Recorded Images– Time Matching Algorithm in which a GPS Track Log and a set of
Digital Images from a Digital Camera are automatically matched
