Omneon overview

Omneon is a leading provider of digital content storage and processing systems used by media companies to enable efficient production and distribution of high-quality digital video and audio. We develop, market and sell a range of video servers, active storage systems and related software applications that media companies use to simultaneously ingest, process, store, manage and deliver digital media in a wide range of formats. When used for television production and on-air operations, our products provide both continuous real-time record and playback capabilities as well as file-based access to digital media content. As the means by which media distribution to consumers rapidly evolves, our systems also provide a platform for media companies to produce more content for delivery to a wider range of devices.

We are a leading provider of broadcast video servers and are actively extending our leadership by addressing new segments of this market and expanding into the complementary digital media storage and content management markets. Our products include Spectrum video servers, MediaGrid active storage systems and MediaTool software applications. In designing our products, we combine an understanding of media workflow requirements, knowledge of information technologies and advanced system design capabilities to provide high-performance, standards-based solutions that are optimized for the large-capacity and high-bandwidth requirements of digital media. Our products are commonly integrated with complementary technologies and applications, and we encourage a broad ecosystem of partners to ensure interoperability with our platforms by supporting industry-standard interface protocols and offering application programming interfaces, or APIs.

Our flexible and scalable products are designed to meet the needs of media companies worldwide, including multi-national media conglomerates, commercial and public broadcast television networks, content networks, satellite broadcasters, television service providers, local television stations and mobile television providers. To date, our systems have been sold to more than 350 customers in over 45 countries. Our customers include system integrators, such as Ascent Media Group and Netorium, and end users, such as British Broadcasting Corporation, British Sky Broadcasting, Discovery Communications and Turner Entertainment, a division of Time Warner. We have grown our total revenues at a 109% compound annual growth rate over the past three years from $12.4 million in 2003 to $54.1 million in 2005. In the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we generated total revenues and net income of $60.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively.

Industry overview

The advent of new technologies and distribution platforms is driving fundamental changes in the way video content is produced, programmed, distributed and consumed. Consumers are increasingly demanding broader access to both existing and new forms of content. This content is being distributed to a growing number of platforms, including high-definition, or HD, televisions, personal computers, mobile devices and portable media players. As a result, the need to produce different types of content in multiple formats is growing rapidly. For example, existing content producers, programmers and distributors are transitioning to HD video and surround sound audio, while emerging mobile and online video services need short program clips at lower bit rates. This diversity requires producers to create more content more efficiently. Raw program material must be shared among production teams creating content for different audiences and distribution channels. Content distributors must expand their operations to support a growing number of channels, as well as new formats intended for multiple distribution platforms.

The transformations occurring across the digital content value chain are changing the way production and distribution facilities are designed and operated. Disk-based storage is rapidly replacing tape-based storage to enable simultaneous access to raw content by multiple individuals and production teams. Disk-based storage also better supports the distribution of different content formats and multiple channels. The use of disk-based storage for both production and distribution coincides with the emergence of applications and systems capable of working with file-based media, rather than legacy video tapes. As a result, production and distribution facilities are upgrading their digital content infrastructure to take advantage of file-based workflows.

Our market opportunity

To address the changes in the industry, media companies must invest in solutions that allow them to better integrate their production and distribution workflows, enabling more collaborative production and efficient repurposing of their media assets. Workflow integration with file-based media can translate into significant reductions in labor costs, improved quality and increased flexibility to quickly deploy new revenue-generating services. As a result, media companies are investing in digital content infrastructure that enables them to reliably deploy best-of-breed production and distribution solutions. According to Frost & Sullivan, the market for video servers is expected to grow from $583 million in 2006 to $1.2 billion in 2010. Further, according to IDC, the market for capacity-optimized disk storage systems is expected to grow from $2.2 billion in 2006 to $8.6 billion in 2010.

Our solutions

Omneon solutions allow our customers to deploy a digital content infrastructure that accommodates both real-time video processing and faster-than-real-time file-based workflows for the production and distribution of digital media content. Our Spectrum server and MediaGrid storage product lines complement each other to support this mixed operating environment.

Our Spectrum video server is optimized for high-reliability, real-time applications such as multi-channel broadcast playout. Broad adoption of Spectrum has established us as a leader in the

broadcast video server market. Our recently introduced MediaGrid active storage system is optimized for high-availability file-based content storage and provides high-bandwidth simultaneous multi-user access to content. MediaGrid also incorporates grid computing capabilities, enabling integrated digital media processing functions such as format conversion and quality control.

Our systems are typically managed and controlled by third-party applications. The combination of our products and these third-party applications is often part of a larger system designed and installed by independent system integrators. To date, over 140 application developers have licensed our APIs to enhance their level of integration with our systems. We encourage and support these developers by offering open, standards-based platforms to provide an integrated solution to our mutual customers.

Our strengths

We have expertise in developing open, scalable and reliable digital content storage and processing systems for media companies. Working closely with our customers, we develop products and technologies optimized for media workflows and enable them to reduce costs and address new revenue opportunities. Our key strengths include:

•: focus and strong reputation in the digital media market;
•: expertise in integrating digital media and information technologies into cost-effective solutions;
•: extensive knowledge of the technical infrastructure required to support complex workflows within a production and distribution facility;
•: development of platforms designed to interoperate with best-of-breed technologies; and
•: strong relationships and a proven ability to collaborate with global media companies.

Our strategy

We seek to become the leading provider of digital asset infrastructure to the media industry. The key elements of our strategy are to:

•: continue to expand our leadership in the broadcast video server market;
•: provide active storage solutions to the digital media industry;
•: expand our portfolio of content management applications;
•: continue to involve customers in strategic product planning;
•: pursue partnerships and complementary acquisitions; and
•: opportunistically expand into new and adjacent markets.

Risk factors

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained in this prospectus before purchasing our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose some or all of your investment.

Risks related to our business

We may not be able to continue to maintain or increase our profitability and our recent growth rates may not be indicative of our future growth.

We have been profitable in recent periods; however, we had an accumulated deficit of $56.0 million as of September 30, 2006. This accumulated deficit is attributable to net losses incurred from our inception in 1998 through 2004, before we first achieved profitability. We may not succeed in maintaining or increasing our profitability and could incur losses in future periods. We expect to incur additional operating expenses associated with being a public company, and we intend to continue to increase our operating expenses, including stock-based compensation, in all areas as we grow our business. If our revenues do not increase to offset these expected increases in costs or operating expenses, our operating results would be negatively affected. You should not consider our historic revenues and net income growth rates as indicative of future growth rates. Accordingly we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain or increase our profitability in the future.

Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and may continue to fluctuate in the future, which could cause our stock price to decline.

Our quarterly results of operations have fluctuated in the past and may continue to fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, some of which may be outside of our control. If our quarterly results of operations fall below the expectations of securities analysts or investors, the price of our common stock could decline substantially. Fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations may be due to a number of factors, including:

•: the timing and volume of shipments of our products during a particular quarter;
•: the timing and success of new product introductions by us or our competitors;
•: seasonal variations in the demand for our products;
•: the amount and timing of operating costs related to the maintenance and expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure;
•: our ability to control costs, including third-party manufacturing costs and costs of components;
•: changes in our or our competitors' pricing policies or sales terms;
•: our ability to obtain sufficient supplies of components;
•: our ability to maintain sufficient production volumes for our products;

•: volatility in our stock price, which may lead to higher stock compensation expenses pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments;
•: the timing of costs related to the development or acquisition of technologies or businesses;
•: general economic, industry and market conditions and those conditions specific to the broadcasting and digital media markets;
•: the purchasing and budgeting cycles of our customers; and
•: geopolitical events such as war, threat of war or terrorist actions.

In addition, our revenues in a given quarter are largely dependent upon sales closed in that quarter. Typically, a large percentage of these sales occurs in the last month of the quarter. Because our operating expenses are largely fixed in the short-term, any reported shortfalls in revenues in a given quarter would have a direct and material adverse effect on our operating results in that quarter. We believe that our quarterly revenues and results of operations may vary significantly in the future and that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful. You should not rely on the results of one quarter as an indication of future performance.

We face intense competition and if we are unable to compete effectively, we may experience decreased sales or pricing pressure, which would negatively impact our future operating results.

The markets for our products are highly competitive. Our Spectrum product competes with products produced by Avid Technology, Inc., Harris Corporation, SeaChange International, Inc. and Thomson S.A. We believe that our MediaGrid product will compete with products offered by manufacturers of general purpose storage products. These competitors have various advantages over us, including the following:

•: greater market presence and greater name recognition;
•: substantially greater financial, technical, research and development, sales and marketing, manufacturing, distribution and other resources;
•: substantially larger patent portfolios;
•: longer operating histories;
•: a broader offering of products and services;
•: more established relationships with industry participants, suppliers and other technology companies; and
•: the ability to acquire technologies or consolidate with other companies in the industry to compete more effectively.

Because our competitors have greater financial strength than we do and are able to offer a more diversified bundle of products and services, they may have the ability to significantly undercut our prices, which could make us less competitive or force us to reduce our average selling prices, negatively impacting our margins. In addition to price, we also compete on the basis of feature set, reliability and scalability. Our competitors may also be able to develop

products that are superior to our products in these respects. In addition, if demand for our competitors' products increases relative to our products, our competitive position will be impaired and we may not be able to increase our revenues.

As the industry evolves and as we introduce additional products, we expect to encounter additional competitors, including companies in adjacent technology businesses and other emerging companies that may announce video server or storage product offerings. Moreover, our current and potential competitors, including companies with whom we currently have strategic alliances, may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with other third-parties. If this occurs, new competitors or alliances may emerge that could negatively affect our competitive position and negatively impact our future operating results.

We have significant international operations and derive a large portion of our revenues from international customers, which exposes us to significant risks.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and for 2005, we derived 63% and 61%, respectively, of our total revenues from international customers. We have employees in international locations such as the United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan. We intend to expand into other geographic areas. The success of our business will depend, in large part, on our ability to continue to operate successfully worldwide and to further expand our international operations and sales. Operating in international markets requires significant resources and management attention and will subject us to regulatory, economic and political risks that are different from those in the United States. We cannot be sure that further international expansion will be successful. In addition, we face risks in doing business internationally that could expose us to reduced demand for our products, lower prices for our products or other adverse effects on our operating results. Among the risks we believe are most likely to affect us are:

•: our ability to comply with differing technical and environmental standards and certification requirements outside the United States;
•: difficulties and costs associated with staffing and managing foreign operations;
•: longer and more difficult customer qualification and credit checks;
•: greater difficulty collecting accounts receivable and longer payment cycles;
•: unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
•: reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;
•: adverse tax consequences, including additional tax exposure if we are in the future deemed to have established a permanent establishment outside of the United States;
•: compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;
•: fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could increase the price of our products to customers outside of the United States, increase the expenses of our international operations by reducing the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar and expose us to foreign currency exchange rate risk if, in the future, we denominate our international sales in currencies other than the U.S. dollar;

•: our dependence on third-parties to provide international back-office support;
•: new and different sources of competition; and
•: political and economic instability or terrorism.

Our failure to manage any of these risks successfully could harm our international operations and reduce our international revenues.

We use system integrators to sell our products, and our business could be harmed if these parties do not market and support our systems successfully.

We derived approximately 70% of our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from sales through system integrators. Accordingly, we are dependent on these entities to sell our products. These entities can have a substantial influence on purchase decisions by end users. These entities may not promote or market our products effectively, or could experience financial difficulties or even close operations. These entities are generally not contractually obligated to sell or promote our products, and may also offer competitive products. If our competitors were to offer more favorable terms to these entities for sales of their products, sales of our products through these entities could be adversely affected. If these system integrators do not promote our products effectively, or if we lose the services of a key system integrator, we would have to develop additional relationships with other third parties or devote more resources to directly selling our products, either of which could harm our future operating results.

We derive a substantial majority of our revenues from customers in the broadcast industry. If we fail to generate continued revenues from this market or if there is a downturn in this market, our revenues could decline.

We have derived the substantial majority of our historical revenues from customers in the broadcast industry. Our future success depends upon the continued demand for our products from customers in this industry. This industry is cyclical and reactive to geopolitical and general economic conditions. There have in the past been restructurings, consolidations and reorganizations in this industry. These can cause delays and reductions in capital and operating expenditures by broadcasters, which could reduce demand for the type of equipment we sell. In addition, if this industry were to widely adopt products of our competitors, our revenues and operating results could be adversely affected.

Our future financial performance depends on growth in the markets for video servers and digital content storage systems. If these markets do not continue to grow at the rate that we forecast, our operating results would be materially and adversely impacted.

Our products are designed to address the markets for video servers and digital content storage systems that enable and enhance the ingest, processing, storage, management and delivery of digital media. Accordingly, our future financial performance will depend in large part on growth in these markets and on our ability to adapt to evolving customer requirements. A reduction in demand for video servers and digital content storage systems caused by lack of customer acceptance, weakening economic conditions, competing technologies and products, decreases in corporate spending or otherwise would result in decreased revenues or a lower revenue growth rate.

We depend on sales of our Spectrum video server products. If market demand for these products does not continue, our future operating results could be harmed.

We have derived a substantial majority of our historical revenues from sales of our Spectrum video server products. Because of the relatively recent introduction of our MediaGrid product, we expect that we will continue to be dependent on the Spectrum products for a substantial portion of our future revenues. If our Spectrum products are unable to remain competitive, or if we experience pricing pressure or reduced demand for these products, our future revenues and business would be harmed.

We have not yet derived a material amount of revenues from sales of our MediaGrid product and if this product is not accepted, our future operating results could be harmed.

We introduced our MediaGrid product in April 2006 and only began deriving revenues from sales of this product during the third quarter of 2006. As is commonly the case with the introduction of complex products, our MediaGrid system may require further refinements before broad customer adoption can be achieved. We have invested, and expect to continue to invest, substantial resources in our MediaGrid product. We cannot assure you that this product will become widely accepted or that we will be able to derive substantial revenues from the sale of this product. If this product is not accepted, our future revenue growth could be negatively affected, which would harm our future operating results and future profitability.

Our sales cycle can be lengthy and unpredictable, which may make it difficult to predict sales in any particular quarter.

The sales cycle for our products can be lengthy, in some cases over 12 months. In addition, we may expend significant resources during the sales cycle and ultimately fail to produce a sale. The success of our product sales process is subject to many factors, some of which we have little or no control over, including:

•: the timing of our end customers' budget cycles and approval processes;
•: customers' or system integrators' willingness to use our products as part of a larger system implementation;
•: our ability to introduce new products, features or functionality in a timely manner;
•: the announcement or introduction of competing products; and
•: established relationships between our competitors and our potential customers.

We expend substantial time, effort and money educating our current and prospective customers as to the value of our products. If we are unsuccessful in closing sales after expending significant resources, our revenues and operating results will be adversely affected.

Our business may be harmed if our contract manufacturers are not able to provide us with adequate supplies of our products.

We outsource the manufacturing of our products. We also rely on third parties to perform quality control testing of our products before they are shipped to customers. We submit purchase orders to these manufacturers that describe, among other things, the type and quantities of our products to be manufactured by the applicable manufacturer and the delivery date and other delivery terms applicable to the products. We do not have other written

agreements with these manufacturers. Our reliance on outside manufacturers involves a number of potential risks, including the absence of adequate capacity, the unavailability of, or interruptions in access to, necessary manufacturing processes and reduced control over delivery schedules. In addition, our manufacturers do not have any written contractual obligation to accept any purchase order that we submit for the manufacture of any of our products nor do we have any assurance that our manufacturers will agree to manufacture and supply any or all of our requirements for our products. Even if our manufacturers accept and fulfill our orders, it is possible that the products may not meet our specifications. Because we do not control the final assembly and quality assurance of our products, there is a chance that these products may contain defects or otherwise not meet our quality standards, which could result in warranty claims that could adversely affect our operating results and future sales.

If our manufacturers are unable or unwilling to continue manufacturing our products in required volumes in a timely manner and at a reasonable price or fail to meet our quality specifications, or if they significantly increase their prices, we will have to identify one or more acceptable alternative manufacturers. The process of identifying and qualifying a new manufacturer can be time consuming. Additionally transitioning to new manufacturers may cause delays in supply if the new manufacturers have difficulty manufacturing products to our specifications or quality standards.

If we experience delays, shortages or quality issues from our component suppliers, our product sales could suffer.

We or our contract manufacturers purchase several key components used in the manufacture of our products from limited or, in some cases, single sources. Generally, there are no written agreements with any of these suppliers to guarantee the supply of key components used in our products. Accordingly, we cannot be certain or provide any assurance that we will have at all times a sufficient supply of these key components to meet our needs. If any of these limited or single source component suppliers experience capacity constraints, work stoppages, financial difficulties or other reductions or disruptions in output, they may not be able to meet, or may choose not to meet, our delivery schedules. Also, our component suppliers may:

•: provide us with components that do not meet our quality or performance specifications;
•: stop selling their products or components to us at commercially reasonable prices;
•: refuse to sell their products or components to us at any price; or
•: be unable to obtain or have difficulty obtaining components for our products from their suppliers.

If the supply of any key component is disrupted, we may be unable to deliver our products to our customers on a timely basis, which could result in lost or delayed revenues, injury to our reputation, increased manufacturing costs or exposure to claims by our customers. Even if alternate suppliers are available, we may have difficulty identifying them in a timely manner, incur significant additional expense in changing suppliers and experience difficulties or delays in the manufacturing of our products. In addition, we must successfully manage the supply of components to our contract manufacturers. Any failure by us to effectively manage our supply chain could adversely affect our supply of finished goods and our ability to fulfill customer demand.

The average selling price of our products may decrease, which could negatively impact our operating results.

It is possible that the average selling prices of our products will decrease in the future in response to competitive pricing pressures, new product introductions by us or our competitors or other factors. If the average selling prices of our products decline and we are unable to respond in a timely manner by developing and introducing new products and continually reducing our product costs, our revenues and gross margin may decline, which will harm our business and results of operations.

Our end users require a high degree of product reliability. If we are unable to provide high quality products, our relationships with system integrators and end users could be harmed.

Because our end users rely on our products for applications that are critical to their business, any failure to provide high quality and reliable products and services, whether caused by our own failure or failures by our contract manufacturers or suppliers, could damage our reputation and reduce demand for our products. In addition, delays in our ability to fill product orders as a result of quality control issues, such as an increase in failure rates or warranty claims, could negatively affect our relationships with system integrators and end users and harm our revenues, operating results and growth.

If we fail to develop and introduce new products or enhancements to existing products in a timely manner, or if we fail to manage product transitions, we could experience decreased revenues in the future.

Our future growth depends on our ability to develop and introduce new products successfully. Due to the complexity of the type of products we produce, there are significant technical risks that may affect our ability to introduce new products successfully. If we are unable to develop and introduce new products and enhancements to our existing products in a timely manner or in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, or if these products do not achieve market acceptance, our operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, components used in our existing products periodically reach end of life which results in our having to change our product designs. We are also periodically required to redesign some of our products in order to remain competitive because of increased functionality or higher performance afforded by new components. For instance, we expect to transition our Spectrum products to new processors in future versions. If these redesigns are not timely, or if they result in unexpected issues related to quality or performance, sales of these products could be adversely affected.

Product introductions by us in future periods may also reduce demand for our existing products. As new or enhanced products are introduced, we must successfully manage the transition from older products, avoid excessive levels of older product inventories and ensure that sufficient supplies of new products can be delivered to meet customer demand. Our failure to do so could adversely affect our operating results.

If we fail to respond to technological changes and evolving industry standards, our products could become obsolete or less competitive in the future.

Our products must respond to technological changes and evolving industry standards. If we are unable to develop enhancements to, and new features for, our existing products or acceptable new products that keep pace with technological developments or industry standards, our products may become obsolete, less marketable and less competitive and our business will be harmed.

If our products do not interoperate with other systems, installations could be delayed or cancelled.

Our products may be required to interface with additional end-user equipment, applications or systems, each of which may have different specifications. A lack of interoperability may result in significant support and repair costs and harm relations with our end users. If our products do not interoperate with end-user systems or applications, installations could be delayed or orders for our products could be cancelled, which would result in loss of revenues that could significantly impair our business and operating results.

Our products are highly complex and may contain undetected software or hardware errors, which could harm our reputation and future product sales.

Our products are highly complex and, when deployed, are critical to our end users' business operations. Our products have in the past contained, and may in the future contain, undetected errors, defects or security vulnerabilities. Some errors in our products may only be discovered after a product has been installed and deployed. Any errors, defects or security vulnerabilities discovered in our products after commercial release could result in loss of revenues, loss of customers and increased service and warranty costs, any of which could adversely affect our business. In addition, we could face claims for product liability, tort or breach of warranty. Our purchase orders contain provisions relating to warranty disclaimers and liability limitations, which may not be upheld. Defending a lawsuit, regardless of its merit, is costly and may divert management's attention and adversely affect the market's perception of us and our products. In addition, if our business liability insurance coverage proves inadequate or future coverage is unavailable on acceptable terms or at all, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain key personnel, and our failure to do so could harm our ability to grow our business.

Our future success will depend on our ability to attract and retain our key personnel, namely our management team and experienced sales and engineering personnel. We must also attract, assimilate and retain other highly qualified employees, including technology, marketing and support personnel. There is substantial competition for highly skilled employees. Our management and key employees are not bound by agreements that could prevent them from terminating their employment at any time. If we fail to attract and retain key employees, our ability to grow our business could be harmed.

If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business could be harmed.

We are currently experiencing a period of rapid growth in our headcount and operations, which has placed, and will continue to place, a significant strain on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Our success will depend in part upon

the ability of our senior management to manage this growth effectively. To manage the expected growth of our operations and personnel, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. If we fail to successfully manage our growth, we will be unable to execute our business plan and our business could be harmed.

Our use of open source software and other third-party technology and intellectual property could impose limitations on our ability to market our products.

We incorporate open source software into our products. Although we monitor our use of open source closely, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by United States courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to market our products. In such event, we could be required to seek licenses from third parties in order to continue offering our products, to disclose and offer royalty-free licenses in connection with our own source code, to re-engineer our products or to discontinue the sale of our products in the event re-engineering cannot be accomplished on a timely basis, any of which could adversely affect our business.

We also incorporate certain third-party technologies, including software programs and patented standards such as MPEG-2, into our products and may need to utilize additional third-party technologies in the future. However, licenses to relevant third-party technology may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Therefore, we could face delays in product releases until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed or developed, and integrated into our current products. These delays, if they occur, could materially adversely affect our business.

Failure to protect our intellectual property could substantially harm our business.

Our success and ability to compete are substantially dependent upon our intellectual property. We rely on patent, trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, customers, strategic partners and others to protect our intellectual property rights. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may be inadequate. We currently have nine issued patents and 13 patent applications in the United States. We also have one issued patent and nine patent applications in foreign countries based on our issued patents and patent applications in the United States. We cannot assure you that any additional patents will be issued. Even if patents are issued, they may not adequately protect our intellectual property rights or our products against competitors, and third parties may challenge the scope, validity and/or enforceability of our issued patents. In addition, other parties may independently develop similar or competing technologies designed around any patents that may be issued to us.

We intend to enforce our intellectual property rights vigorously, and from time to time we may initiate claims against third parties that we believe are infringing our intellectual property rights if we are unable to resolve matters satisfactorily through negotiation. Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time-consuming and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. Our failure to secure, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could seriously harm our business.

If a third party asserts that we are infringing its intellectual property, whether successful or not, it could subject us to costly and time-consuming litigation or expensive licenses, which could harm our business.

Third parties have in the past sent us correspondence regarding their intellectual property and in the future we may receive claims that our products infringe or violate their intellectual property rights. For example, Harris Corporation has asserted that our Spectrum video servers infringe certain of its patents. While we believe we do not infringe any valid patent held by Harris, we cannot assure you that Harris will not initiate a lawsuit against us. Any claims or litigation could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages and prevent us from selling our products. Even if we were to prevail, any litigation regarding our intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. We may also be obligated to indemnify our customers or business partners in connection with any such litigation, which could further exhaust our resources. Furthermore, as a result of an intellectual property challenge, we may be required to enter into royalty, license or other agreements. We may not be able to obtain these agreements at all or on terms acceptable to us. Litigation over patent rights and other intellectual property rights is not uncommon with respect to digital media technologies and network storage technologies, and sometimes involves patent holding companies or other adverse patent owners who have no relevant product revenues and against whom our own patents may provide little or no deterrence.

We are subject to governmental export controls that could subject us to liability or adversely affect our ability to sell our products in international markets.

Our products are subject to U.S. export controls and may be exported outside the U.S. only with the required level of export license or through an export license exception, because we incorporate encryption technology into our products. Various countries regulate the import of certain encryption technology and have enacted laws that could limit our ability to distribute our products or could limit our customers' ability to deploy our products in those countries. Changes in our products or changes in export and import regulations may create delays in the introduction of our products in international markets, prevent our customers with international operations from deploying our products throughout their global systems or, in some cases, prevent the export or import of our products to certain countries altogether. Any change in export or import regulations or related legislation, shift in approach to the enforcement or scope of existing regulations, or change in the countries, persons or technologies targeted by such regulations, could result in decreased use of our products by, or in our decreased ability to export or sell our products to, existing or potential customers with international operations. Failure to comply with these and similar laws on a timely basis, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Any decreased use of our products or limitation on our ability to export or sell our products would likely adversely affect our business.

We are subject to environmental and other health and safety regulations that may increase our costs of operations or limit our activities.

We are subject to environmental and other health and safety regulations relating to matters such as reductions in the use of harmful substances, the use of lead-free soldering and the recycling of products and packaging materials. The European Parliament and the Council of the

European Union have published directives on waste electrical and electronic equipment and on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. These directives generally require electronics producers to bear the cost of collection, treatment, recovery and safe disposal of past and future products from end users and to ensure that new electrical and electronic equipment does not contain specified hazardous substances. While the cost of these directives to us cannot be determined before regulations are adopted in individual member states of the European Union, it may be substantial and may divert resources, which could detract from our ability to develop new products or operate our business. We may not be able to comply in all cases with applicable environmental and other regulations, and if we do not, we may incur remediation costs or we may not be able to offer our products for sale in certain countries, which could adversely affect our results.

We may expand through acquisitions of, or investments in, other companies, each of which may divert our management's attention, result in additional dilution to stockholders or use resources that are necessary to operate other parts of our business.

As part of our business strategy, we may seek to acquire or invest in businesses, products or technologies that we believe could complement or expand our products, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities. Acquisitions could create risks for us, including:

•: difficulties in assimilating acquired personnel, operations and technologies;
•: unanticipated costs or liabilities associated with the acquisition;
•: incurrence of acquisition-related costs;
•: diversion of management's attention from other business concerns;
•: use of resources that are needed in other parts of our business; and
•: use of substantial portions of our available cash to consummate the acquisition.

In addition, a significant portion of the purchase price of companies we acquire may be allocated to acquired goodwill and other intangible assets, which must be assessed for impairment at least annually. In the future, if our acquisitions do not yield expected returns, we may be required to take charges to our earnings based on this impairment assessment process, which could harm our results of operations.

We may be unable to complete acquisitions at all or on commercially reasonable terms, which could limit our future growth. Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, if an acquired business fails to meet our expectations, our operating results may suffer.

The issuance of new accounting standards or future interpretations of existing accounting standards could adversely affect our operating results.

We prepare our financial statements to conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. A change in those principles could have a significant effect on our reported results and might affect our reporting of transactions completed before a change is announced. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States are issued by and are subject to interpretation by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or AICPA,

the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and various other bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. A change in these principles or interpretations could have a significant effect on our reported financial results, and could affect the reporting of transactions completed before the announcement of a change. The AICPA continues to issue interpretations and guidance for applying the relevant accounting standards to a wide range of sales practices and business arrangements. The issuance of new accounting standards or future interpretations of existing accounting standards, or changes in our business practices could result in future changes in our revenue recognition or other accounting policies that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Maintaining and improving our financial controls and the requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and, divert management's attention or affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members.

As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Stock Market. We expect these rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act will require, among other things, that we maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. This can be difficult to do. In order to maintain and improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, significant resources and management oversight will be required. As a result, management's attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. These efforts will also involve substantial accounting related costs. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to remain listed on The NASDAQ Global Market.

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Stock Market, we are required to maintain a board of directors with a majority of independent directors. As a public company, we may have difficulty recruiting and retaining qualified directors, especially those directors who may be considered independent for purposes of The NASDAQ Stock Market rules.

We might require additional capital to support business operations, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

If our cash and cash equivalents balances and any cash generated from operations and from this offering are not sufficient to meet our cash requirements, we will need to seek additional capital, potentially through debt or equity financings, to fund our operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise needed cash on terms acceptable to us or at all. Financings, if available, may be on terms that are dilutive or potentially dilutive to our stockholders, and the prices at which new investors would be willing to purchase our securities may be lower than the initial public offering price. The holders of new securities may also receive rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of existing holders of common stock. In addition, if we were to raise cash through a debt financing, such debt may impose conditions or restrictions on our operations, which could adversely affect our business. If new sources of financing are required but are insufficient or unavailable, we would be required to modify our operating plans to the extent of available funding, which would harm our ability to grow our business.

Our principal offices and the facilities of our third-party manufacturers are located near known earthquake fault zones, and the occurrence of an earthquake or other catastrophic disaster could damage our facilities or the facilities of our third-party manufacturers, which could cause us to curtail our operations.

Our principal offices and the facilities of our third-party manufacturers are located in California near known earthquake fault zones and, therefore, are vulnerable to damage from earthquakes. We are also vulnerable to damage from other types of disasters, such as power loss, fire, floods and similar events. If any disaster were to occur, our ability to operate our business could be seriously impaired. In addition, we may not have adequate insurance to cover our losses resulting from disasters or other similar significant business interruptions. Any significant losses that are not recoverable under our insurance policies could seriously impair our business and financial condition.

Risks related to this offering

There has been no prior market for our common stock, our stock price may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the initial public offering price.

There has been no public market for our common stock prior to this offering. The initial public offering price for our common stock will be determined through negotiations between the underwriters, the selling stockholders and us. The initial public offering price may vary from the market price of our common stock following this offering. If you purchase shares of our common stock, you may not be able to resell those shares at or above the initial public offering price. An active or liquid market in our common stock may not develop upon completion of this offering or, if it does develop, it may not be sustainable. In addition, the market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which we cannot control, including:

•: price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market;
•: changes in operating performance and stock market valuations of other technology companies generally, or those in our industry in particular;
•: actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
•: changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow our company, our failure to meet these estimates or failure of those analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of our stock;
•: ratings downgrades by securities analysts, if any, who follow our company;
•: the public's response to our press releases or other public announcements, including our filings with the SEC;
•: announcements by us or our competitors of significant technical innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
•: introduction of technologies or product enhancements that reduce the need for our products;
•: market conditions or trends in our industry or the economy as a whole;

•: additions or departures of key personnel;
•: lawsuits threatened or filed against us;
•: future sales of our common stock by our executive officers, directors and significant stockholders; and
•: other events or factors, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism or responses to these events.

In addition, the stock markets, and in particular The NASDAQ Global Market on which our common stock will be listed, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies. Stock prices of many technology companies have fluctuated in a manner unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies.

Purchasers in this offering will suffer immediate dilution.

If you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will experience dilution of $ per share in the tangible book value of our common stock from the initial public offering price, based on the number of shares outstanding as of September 30, 2006 and assuming an initial public offering price of $ per share. This is due in large part to earlier investors in our company having paid less than the assumed initial public offering price when they purchased their shares. In addition, the exercise of currently outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock and future equity issuances, including future public or private securities offerings and any additional shares issued in connection with acquisitions, will result in further dilution. Investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering will contribute approximately % of the total amount we have raised since our inception, but will own only approximately % of our total common stock immediately following the completion of this offering.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain any earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the future. As a result, you may only receive a return on your investment in our common stock if the market price of our common stock increases.

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. If there are substantial sales of shares of our common stock, the price of our common stock could decline.

The price of our common stock could decline if there are substantial sales of our common stock or if there is a large number of shares of our common stock available for sale. After this offering, we will have outstanding shares of our common stock based on the number of shares outstanding as of September 30, 2006. This includes the shares that we and the selling stockholders are selling in this offering, which may be resold in the public market immediately. The remaining shares, or % of our outstanding shares after this

offering, are currently restricted as a result of market standoff and/or lock-up agreements but will be able to be sold in the near future as set forth below:

Number of shares and % of total outstanding		Date available for sale into public market


shares, or %		180 days after the date of this prospectus upon the expiration of the lock-up period, subject in some cases to the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.
shares, or %		Various dates thereafter upon the lapse of our right of repurchase with respect to unvested shares.

After this offering, the holders of an aggregate of shares of our common stock will have rights, subject to some conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or other stockholders. We also intend to register the issuance of all shares of common stock that we have issued and may issue under our employee equity incentive plans. Effective upon the completion of this offering, an aggregate of shares of our common stock will be reserved for issuance under these plans, and the shares reserve under our 2007 equity incentive plan and our 2007 employee stock purchase plan will also be subject to annual increases in accordance with the terms of these plans. Once we register the issuance of these shares, they can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to certain lock-up agreements.

The market price of the shares of our common stock could decline due to sales of a substantial number of our shares in the public market or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell their shares.

Our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders will continue to have substantial control over Omneon after this offering and could act in a manner with which other stockholders may disagree or that is not necessarily in the interests of other stockholders.

After this offering, based upon beneficial ownership as of September 30, 2006, our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 5% of our common stock, together with their affiliates, will beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately % of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, if acting together, may have the ability to determine the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, these persons, acting together, may have the ability to control the management and affairs of our company. Some of these persons or entities may have interests that are different from yours. For example, these stockholders may support proposals and actions with which you may disagree or which are not in your interests. The concentration of ownership could delay or prevent a change in control of our company or otherwise discourage a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of our company, which in turn could reduce the price of our common stock. In addition, these stockholders, some of whom have representatives sitting on our board of directors, could use their voting influence to maintain our existing management and directors in office, delay or prevent changes of control of our

company, or support or reject other management and board proposals that are subject to stockholder approval, such as amendments to our employee stock plans and approvals of significant financing transactions.

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. However, we cannot specify with certainty the particular uses of the net proceeds that we will receive from this offering, nor have we performed studies or had preliminary discussions with respect to the best use of the capital resources resulting from this offering. As such, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, including working capital, capital expenditures, possible acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. Our stockholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

Some provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our management.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may make the acquisition of our company more difficult without the approval of our board of directors, including the following:

•: only our chairman, our chief executive officer, our president or a majority of our board of directors is authorized to call a special meeting of stockholders;
•: our stockholders may take action only at a meeting of stockholders and not by written consent;
•: vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by our board of directors and not by stockholders;
•: our certificate of incorporation authorizes undesignated preferred stock, or "blank check" preferred stock, the terms of which may be established and shares of which may be issued without stockholder approval; and
•: advance notice procedures apply for stockholders to nominate candidates for election as directors or to bring matters before an annual meeting of stockholders.

These provisions could discourage, delay or prevent a transaction involving a change in control of our company. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing and cause us to take other corporate actions you desire.

In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which, subject to some exceptions, prohibits "business combinations" between a Delaware corporation and an "interested stockholder," which is generally defined as a stockholder who becomes a beneficial owner of 15% or more of a Delaware corporation's voting stock, for a three-year period following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder. Section 203

could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control that our stockholders might consider to be in their best interests.

If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they downgrade our stock, the price of our stock could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will rely in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. We do not control these analysts. There are many large, well-established publicly traded companies active in our industry and market, which may mean it will be less likely that we receive widespread analyst coverage. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who do cover us downgrade our stock, our stock price would likely decline rapidly. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.

We discuss these risks in greater detail in "Risk factors." Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements represent our management's beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this prospectus. You should read this prospectus and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

This prospectus also contains estimates and other information concerning our industry, including market size and growth rates of the markets in which we participate, that are based on industry publications, surveys and forecasts generated by Frost & Sullivan and IDC. These publications typically indicate that they have obtained their information from sources they believe to be reliable, but do not guarantee the accuracy and completeness of their information. The industry in which we operate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in "Risk factors." These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in these publications, surveys and forecasts.

Use of proceeds

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $ million, based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders.

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $ million, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions payable by us.

The principal purposes of this offering are to obtain additional working capital, to create a public market for our common stock and to facilitate our future access to the public equity markets. We also may use a portion of the net proceeds to us for possible acquisitions of complementary businesses, technologies or other assets.

We currently have no specific plans for the use of the net proceeds to us from this offering and we have no ongoing negotiations or current agreements or commitments with respect to any material acquisitions. We cannot specify with certainty the particular uses of the net proceeds that we will receive from this offering, nor have we performed studies or made preliminary decisions with respect to the best use of the capital resources resulting from this offering. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this offering to us, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of these proceeds.

Pending their use, we plan to invest the net proceeds to us from this offering in short- and intermediate-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.

Dividend policy

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to support our operations and finance the growth and development of our business. We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Any future determination related to dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors.

Capitalization

The following table sets forth our cash, cash equivalents and capitalization as of September 30, 2006:

•: on an actual basis;
•: on a pro forma basis to reflect (1) the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of our preferred stock into shares of common stock upon the completion of this offering, (2) the reclassification of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability to additional paid-in capital and (3) the issuance of 479,436 shares of common stock assuming the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase shares of preferred stock and the automatic conversion of these shares of preferred stock into shares of common stock; and
•: on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect the adjustments described above and (1) the sale by us of shares of common stock at the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and (2) the filing of our restated certificate of incorporation to authorize 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock.

You should read this table together with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and "Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations" included elsewhere in this prospectus.

(1): Each $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share would increase or decrease, as applicable, the amount of cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in capital, total stockholders' equity (deficit) and total capitalization by approximately $ million, assuming the number of

shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions payable by us.

The number of shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2006 on the table above does not reflect:

•: 3,289,042 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options as of September 30, 2006 under our 1998 stock option plan at a weighted average exercise price of $0.71 per share;
•: 372,653 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options granted between October 1, 2006 and December 15, 2006 under our 1998 stock option plan at a weighted average exercise price of $7.20 per share;
•: 158,313 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our 1998 stock option plan as of September 30, 2006, which reserve was increased by 400,000 shares subsequent to September 30, 2006;
•: shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2007 equity incentive plan and 2007 employee stock purchase plan, which we have adopted to become effective upon the completion of this offering and which contain provisions that automatically increase their share reserve each year, as more fully described in "Management—Employee benefit plans;"
•: except on a pro forma basis and a pro forma as adjusted basis, 479,505 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants as of September 30, 2006 at a weighted average exercise price of $0.79 per share, of which warrants to purchase 69 shares of common stock will, unless earlier exercised, expire in January 2007, and the remaining warrants will be automatically exercised on a net exercise basis upon the completion of this offering, unless earlier exercised; and
•: 337,217 shares of our common stock that are issued and outstanding but that were subject to a right of repurchase by us as of September 30, 2006 and therefore not included in stockholders' (deficit) equity pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Dilution

If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per share and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. Pro forma net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing the number of shares of common stock outstanding, after giving effect to the conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into 17,047,446 shares of common stock in this offering and the issuance of 479,436 shares of common stock assuming the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase shares of preferred stock and the automatic conversion of these shares of preferred stock into shares of common stock, as of September 30, 2006 into our total tangible assets (total assets less intangible assets) less total liabilities. Our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2006 would have been approximately $ million, or approximately $ per share.

After giving effect to the sale of common stock offered by us in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, net of estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2006 would have been approximately $ million, or approximately $ per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of $ per share to existing stockholders, and an immediate dilution of $ per share to investors participating in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:


Assumed initial public offering price per share		$
Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2006	$
Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors

Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering

Dilution per share to new investors		$

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2006 by approximately $ million, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering by $ and the dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value to new investors in this offering by $ per share, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions payable by us.

The following table summarizes, on a pro forma as adjusted basis as of September 30, 2006, the differences between the number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total consideration and the average price per share paid to us by existing stockholders and by investors participating in this offering, before deducting estimated underwriting discounts and

commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, at an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share:

	Shares purchased			Total consideration

	Shares purchased			Total consideration			Average price per share
	Number	Percent		Amount	Percent		Average price per share

Existing stockholders before this offering			%	$		%	$
Investors participating in this offering							$

Total		100	%	$	100	%

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share would increase (decrease) total consideration paid to us by investors participating in this offering by approximately $ million, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions payable by us.

The discussion and tables above assume no sale of shares by the selling stockholders and no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option or any outstanding options or warrants. The sale of shares of common stock to be sold by the selling stockholders in this offering will reduce the number of shares held by existing stockholders to , or % of the total shares outstanding, and will increase the number of shares held by investors participating in this offering to , or % of the total shares outstanding. In addition, if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full, the number of shares of common stock held by investors participating in this offering will be further increased to , or % of the total number of shares of common stock to be outstanding after this offering, and the number of shares of common stock held by existing stockholders will be further reduced to , or % of the total number of shares of common stock to be outstanding after this offering.

The number of shares outstanding as of September 30, 2006 excludes:

•: 3,289,042 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options as of September 30, 2006 under our 1998 stock option plan at a weighted average exercise price of $0.71 per share;
•: 372,653 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options granted between October 1, 2006 and December 15, 2006 under our 1998 stock option plan at a weighted average exercise price of $7.20 per share;
•: 158,313 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our 1998 stock option plan as of September 30, 2006, which reserve was increased by 400,000 shares subsequent to September 30, 2000; and
•: shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2007 equity incentive plan and 2007 employee stock purchase plan, which we have adopted to become effective upon the completion of this offering and which contain provisions that automatically increase their share reserve each year, as more fully described in "Management—Employee benefit plans."

To the extent that any options or warrants are exercised, new options or shares of common stock are issued under our 2007 equity incentive plan or our 2007 employee stock purchase plan or we issue additional shares of common stock in the future, there will be further dilution to investors participating in this offering.

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the section entitled "Risk factors," and elsewhere in this prospectus.

Omneon overview

We were founded in May 1998, and from inception through 2001, we were focused on designing and developing our Spectrum video server products. Our revenues have grown rapidly since we began shipping our Spectrum products in 2001, driven in part by industry trends such as the migration of tape-based to file-based workflows, analog to digital formats, standard-definition to high-definition television and single channel to multi-channel playout. We sell our products indirectly through system integrators and directly to end users. Historically, a substantial portion of our revenues has been derived through indirect sales. Our products are used by media companies worldwide, and we have historically generated a substantial portion of our revenues from international sales. In the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and in 2005, 2004 and 2003, our total revenues were $60.3 million, $54.1 million, $31.4 million and $12.4 million, respectively, and our net income (loss) was approximately $6.3 million, $4.1 million, $27,000 and ($7.0) million, respectively.

Sources of revenues

Our products include Spectrum video servers, MediaGrid active storage systems, and related software applications. Sales of our Spectrum products accounted for substantially all of our product revenues through September 30, 2006. We began recognizing revenues from the sale of our MediaGrid storage systems in the third quarter of 2006. Our service revenues consist of service fees relating to the maintenance contracts on our products and to a lesser extent technical support fees. Service revenues can experience variability due to the timing of maintenance contract renewals and technical support delivery. In the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and in 2005, 2004 and 2003, total revenues grew 66%, 72%, 153% and 67%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior period.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and in 2005, 2004 and 2003, our revenues from customers outside the United States comprised 63%, 61%, 61% and 50%, respectively, of our total revenues. We expect revenues from customers outside of the United States to continue to constitute a substantial portion of our revenues.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and in 2005, 2004 and 2003, we derived approximately 70%, 65%, 74% and 74%, respectively, of our total revenues through indirect sales. We expect revenues from indirect sales to continue to constitute a substantial portion of our revenues.

Ascent Media Group, a system integrator, represented 11%, 10% and 12% of our total revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and in 2005 and 2004, respectively. In 2004, Netorium, a system integrator, accounted for 15% of our total revenues. No customer represented greater than 10% of our total revenues in 2003.

Cost of revenues

Cost of product revenues consists of the costs of product hardware, manufacturing, shipping and logistics costs and expenses for estimated warranty obligations and inventory obsolescence. We utilize third parties to manufacture our product hardware, embed our proprietary software and conduct functionality testing. Cost of service revenues is primarily comprised of the cost of personnel providing technical support. Since 2005, our cost of service revenues has grown faster than our service revenues due to our investment in increased services headcount and the development of our maintenance and service infrastructure. We do not expect our cost of service revenues to grow at the historic growth rates we have experienced.

Gross margin

Gross margin remained consistent in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and in 2005 and 2004. Gross margin will be affected by a variety of factors, including the mix and average selling prices of our products and services, new products and enhancements, the cost of product hardware, the mix of distribution channels through which our products are sold and warranty claim experience. In the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and in 2005, 2004 and 2003, our gross margin was 61%, 61%, 61% and 48%, respectively.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses consist of research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. Personnel-related costs are the most significant component of each of these expense categories. Our workforce grew to 209 employees as of September 30, 2006 from 106 employees as of December 31, 2004. We expect to continue to hire additional personnel to support our growth. The timing of additional hires could materially affect our operating expenses, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenues, in any particular period. We anticipate that each of these categories of operating expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars in future periods.

Research and development

Research and development expenses primarily consist of employee compensation costs, including salaries and stock-based compensation, prototype materials, depreciation of equipment used in research and development activities and allocable overhead. Research and development costs, including software development costs, have been expensed as incurred. Our headcount for research and development-related personnel was 84, 63, 44 and 26 as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. We believe that

investments in research and development, including the recruiting and hiring of engineers, are critical to our ability to remain competitive.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of employee compensation costs, including salaries, sales commissions and stock-based compensation, travel costs, trade show and marketing program costs and allocable overhead. Our headcount for sales and marketing personnel was 62, 49, 31 and 19 as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We intend to hire additional employees for our sales and marketing staff and to increase our sales and marketing budget in the future.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of employee compensation costs, including salaries and stock-based compensation, outside professional services and allocable overhead. Our headcount for general and administrative personnel was 16, 14, nine and eight as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase as we incur additional expenses associated with being a public company, including expenses associated with analyzing, documenting, testing and maintaining our system of internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures as a result of the regulatory requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to use accounting policies and make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a fiscal period. We consider an accounting policy to be critical if it is important to our financial condition and results of operations, and if it requires significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in its application. Although we believe that our judgments and estimates are appropriate and correct, actual results may differ from those estimates. We believe the following to be our critical accounting policies.

We derive substantially all of our revenues from sales of servers and storage systems, with the remaining revenues generated primarily from service fees relating to the maintenance contracts for our products. We generally recognize product revenues at the time of shipment, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss passes to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable and collection of the receivable is reasonably assured. In instances where we are required to obtain customer acceptance, revenues are deferred until the terms of acceptance are satisfied. Revenues under maintenance contracts are deferred and recognized ratably over the contractual service period. Our maintenance contracts typically have terms that range from one to two years.

In connection with sales arrangements that involve multiple elements, such as hardware and service contracts, the entire revenue is allocated to each respective element based on its relative fair value and recognized when the revenue recognition criteria for each element have been met. We use the fair-value method to recognize revenues when an arrangement includes one or more elements to be delivered at a future date and objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of all the undelivered elements exists. If objective and reliable evidence of fair value of one or more undelivered elements does not exist, revenue is deferred for all elements and recognized when delivery of those elements occurs or when fair value can be established.

For the sale of products that contain software that is more than incidental to the sale of the hardware, we recognize revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. In instances where there are undelivered elements that did not have an established fair value, revenue for the entire arrangement is deferred until fair value is established or those elements have been delivered.

Our total maintenance and support deferred revenues were $3.5 million, $3.2 million and $1.3 million as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Total deferred revenues were $4.2 million, $4.6 million and $1.7 million as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Accounting for income taxes

In preparing our financial statements we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect our accounting for income taxes. This process includes estimating current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. We also assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe recovery to be unlikely, we have established a valuation allowance. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. Our financial position and results of operations may be materially affected if actual results significantly differ from these estimates or the estimates are adjusted in future periods.

Historically, we have recorded a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, the majority of which relates to net operating loss tax carryforwards generated before we achieved profitability. During the first quarter of 2006, we concluded that it was more likely than not that we would be able to realize the benefit of these deferred tax assets in the future. Consequently, we recorded a tax benefit of $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2006 resulting primarily from the release of the entire net deferred tax valuation allowance. We expect that our consolidated effective tax rate will increase to approximate the combined federal and state statutory rates.

At September 30, 2006, we had $40,000 and $200,000 in federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, respectively, which begin to expire in 2007 and 2024, respectively. At September 30, 2006, we had no federal and $500,000 of state research tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income. These state carryforwards will expire commencing in 2023.

Stock-based compensation

How we account for stock-based awards

Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for employee stock options using the intrinsic-value method in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, FASB Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25, and related interpretations and we complied with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure.

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123(R), using the prospective transition method, which requires us to apply the provisions of SFAS 123(R) only to awards newly granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled, after the adoption date. Under this transition method, our stock-based compensation expense recognized beginning January 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair value of stock option awards we grant or modify after January 1, 2006. We recognize this expense on a straight-line basis over the options' expected vesting terms. We estimated the grant date fair value of stock option awards under the provisions of SFAS 123(R) using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions:

	Nine months ended September 30, 2006


Expected life	6.0 years
Interest rate range	4.29% - 5.10	%
Volatility	60	%
Dividend yield	0	%

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $53,000 under SFAS 123(R). In future periods, stock-based compensation expense is expected to increase as we issue additional equity-based awards to continue to attract and retain key employees. Additionally, SFAS 123(R) requires that we recognize compensation expense only for the portion of stock options that are expected to vest, assuming an expected forfeiture rate in determining stock-based compensation expense, which could affect the stock-based compensation expense recorded if there is a significant difference between actual and estimated forfeiture rates. Our estimated forfeiture rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was 3.35%. As of September 30, 2006, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based awards granted to employees and non-employee directors was $372,000, which is expected to be recognized through 2009.

Historical grant practices and reassessment of fair value

Valuation at the time of grant. Given the absence of an active market for our common stock, our board of directors, the members of which we believe had extensive business, financial and investment experience, were required to estimate the fair value of our common stock at the time of each option grant. Our board of directors considered numerous objective and subjective factors in determining the value of our common stock at each option grant date, including the following factors: (1) prices for our preferred stock that we had sold to outside

investors in arms-length transactions, and the rights, preferences and privileges of our preferred stock and our common stock; (2) contemporaneous valuations performed as of March 31, 2006, September 30, 2006, and December 1, 2006, by an independent valuation firm; (3) our actual financial condition and results of operations relative to our operating plan during the relevant period; (4) the development status of our products, technical and regulatory issues encountered and adherence to product completion dates; (5) forecasts of our financial results and market conditions affecting the digital media industry; (6) the fact that the option grants involved illiquid securities in a private company; and (7) the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for the shares of common stock underlying the options, such as an initial public offering or sale of the company, given prevailing market conditions at the time of grant. Based on these factors, our board of directors granted stock options during 2005 and the nine months ended September 30, 2006 at exercise prices ranging from $0.50 to $2.50 per share.

At the date of each option grant, our board of directors determined that the exercise price for each option was equivalent to the then-existing fair value of our common stock. Our board of directors believes it properly valued our common stock in all periods, although we also understand that the judgments required in such efforts necessarily involve an element of subjectivity.

Contemporaneous third-party valuations. We engaged an independent valuation firm to perform contemporaneous valuations of our common stock at March 31, 2006, September 30, 2006 and December 1, 2006. The valuations used a probability-weighted combination of the income approach, the similar transaction approach and the public company market multiple method to estimate the aggregate enterprise value of our company at each valuation date. The income approach involves applying appropriate risk-adjusted discount rates to estimated debt-free cash flows, based on forecasted revenues and costs. The projections used in connection with this valuation were based on our expected operating performance over the forecast period. The similar transaction approach involves applying the valuation multiples associated with recent merger and acquisition activity in related industries. The public company market multiple method focuses on comparing our company to similar publicly traded entities. There is inherent uncertainty in these estimates. If different discount rates or assumptions had been used, the valuation would have been different.

For the March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006 valuations, a 75% weighting was applied to the income approach and a 25% weighting to the similar transaction approach. We applied a greater weighting to the income approach because it more appropriately captured company-specific risks, whereas the similar transaction approach is primarily based on market data of recently acquired publicly traded companies. The public company market multiple method was not used for these valuations as there were no directly comparable publicly traded companies. The companies used for comparison under the similar transaction approach were selected based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the similarity of their industry, financial risk, size and number of employees relative to those of our company.

For the December 1, 2006 valuation, a 50% weighting was applied to the income approach, a 15% weighting was applied to the similar transaction approach and a 35% weighting was applied to the public company market multiple method. The changes in the weighted values reflect (1) the increased likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for the shares of common stock underlying the options, such as an initial public offering, (2) lack of recent similar

transactions and changing market dynamics and (3) the fact that, with our recent introduction of our MediaGrid product, we became more comparable to public companies.

Non-marketability discount. In determining the estimated fair value of our stock at each option grant date, our board of directors considered the fact that our stockholders cannot freely trade our stock in the public markets. The estimated fair value of our common stock at each stock option grant date reflected the anticipated likelihood and timing of a future liquidity event.

In the valuations of our common stock performed by the independent valuation firm as of March 31, 2006, September 30, 2006 and December 1, 2006, the non-marketability discounts used were 20%, 15% and 10%, respectively. The 20% discount applied in March 2006 reflected the expectation that a successful liquidity event was not likely to occur within the 12 months following March 2006. In September and December 2006, the discount applied was reduced to 15% and 10%, respectively, reflecting an increased likelihood of a liquidity event.

Reassessment of fair value. The exercise prices per share of common stock underlying our option grants were historically determined by our board of directors with input from management. Prior to March 31, 2006, contemporaneous valuations of our common stock by an unrelated party were not obtained because we believed that our board of directors had considerable experience in the valuation of emerging companies and could make a reasonable determination of fair value.

In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements necessary for this prospectus and solely for the purposes of accounting for stock-based compensation for financial statement purposes, we engaged an independent valuation firm to assist us in the retrospective reassessments of our common stock to determine whether there was a compensatory element in our historical option grants. We undertook the retrospective reassessments of the values of our common stock as of April 14, 2004, the date of the last sale of our Series B-1 convertible preferred stock, and as of 15 additional dates from May 2004 through February 2006. We do not believe that there was any compensatory element to our option grants prior to April 2004 based on our early stage of development through that date.

These retrospective reassessments applied the probability-weighted combination of the income approach and the similar transaction approach consistent with the March 31, 2006 valuation methodology described above to estimate the aggregate enterprise value of our company at the reassessment dates. The non-marketability discount used for the retrospective reassessments was 32% as of April 14, 2004 and declined to 24% as of February 14, 2006. The discounts applied reflected the expectation that a successful liquidity event would not occur within the 12 months following the applicable option grant dates.

Conclusions. After making the above judgments, assumptions and estimates in the retrospective reassessments described above, we have determined that, for accounting purposes, at the date of each option grant prior to April 2004, the exercise price for each option was equivalent to the then-existing fair value of our common stock. For grants made from April 2004 through December 2005, we recorded deferred stock-based compensation of $1.9 million during 2006, representing the amount by which the reassessed value of our common stock at the date of the grant exceeded the exercise price of the equity awards. During 2006, we recognized stock-based compensation of $336,000 as an out of period

adjustment and $346,000, representing amortized expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 for grants for which the adjusted fair value from the retrospective reassessment exceeded the initial grant price. As of September 30, 2006, we had $1.2 million of deferred stock-based compensation related to option grants made from April 2004 through February 2006 that will be amortized through 2010.

Information regarding our stock option grants for April 2004 through September 30, 2006 is summarized as follows:

Estimation of fair value of warrants to purchase convertible preferred stock

In 2005, we adopted FASB Staff Position No. 150-5, Issuer's Accounting under FASB Statement No. 150 for Freestanding Warrants and Other Similar Instruments on Shares That Are Redeemable, or FSP 150-5. FSP 150-5 requires us to classify warrants to purchase shares of our convertible preferred stock as current liabilities and to adjust the value of these warrants to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. At the time of adoption, we recorded an adjustment of $557,000 for the cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle, to reflect the estimated fair value of these warrants as of that date. We recorded $157,000 and $739,000 of additional expense in interest and other income (expense), net, for the remainder of 2005 and the nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, to reflect further increases in the estimated fair value of the warrants. We estimated the fair value of these warrants at the respective balance sheet dates using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model utilizes the estimated fair value of the underlying convertible preferred stock at the valuation measurement date, the remaining contractual term of the warrant, risk-free interest

rates, expected dividends and expected volatility of the price of the underlying convertible preferred stock.

Upon the closing of this offering, if these warrants have not been exercised, they will be exercised on a net exercise basis for shares of our common stock based on the initial public offering price and, as a result, will no longer be subject to FSP 150-5. At that time, the then-current aggregate fair value of these warrants will be reclassified from current liabilities to common stock and additional paid-in capital, and we will cease to record any related periodic fair value adjustments.

Product revenues. The $22.3 million, or 65%, increase in product revenues from the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was largely driven by increased demand for our Spectrum servers. We sold to 180 customers in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 127 customers in the nine months ended September 30, 2005. One customer, a system integrator, represented 12% and 15% of our product revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The percentage of our product revenues derived through indirect sales remained consistent in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

Service revenues. The $1.6 million, or 79%, increase in service revenues from the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 resulted from increased purchases of maintenance contracts in connection with the corresponding

increase in product revenues during the same periods. Service revenues represented 6% of our total revenues in both periods.

Gross profit and gross margin

The following table shows gross profit on each of our revenue components for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 in absolute dollars and the related gross margin:

Product gross margin. Gross margin for product revenues increased two percentage points due primarily to a decline in manufacturing overhead as a percentage of product revenues from the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Service gross margin. Gross margin for service revenues decreased from the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 primarily due to greater compensation cost of $2.2 million from the increased services headcount from 17 to 27 and the development of our maintenance and service infrastructure.

Total operating expenses			$	19,842		$	30,801		$	10,959	55	%

Research and development. The $5.6 million, or 83%, increase in research and development expense from the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to the nine months

ended September 30, 2006 was primarily due to a $3.3 million increase in payroll and benefit costs resulting from an increase in research and development employee headcount from 53 to 84, a $1.2 million increase in depreciation expenses and consumable supplies and materials used in development and testing functions and a $701,000 increase in outsourced engineering services and outside contractor expense.

Sales and marketing. The $4.2 million, or 39%, increase in sales and marketing expense from the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in payroll and benefit costs resulting from an increase in sales and marketing employee headcount from 43 to 62 and an increase in sales commissions, a $576,000 increase in travel and entertainment costs, a $289,000 increase in facilities expense, a $279,000 increase in depreciation due to additional capital equipment for new employees and a $243,000 increase in marketing costs, particularly related to seminars and advertising expenses.

General and administrative. The $1.1 million, or 51%, increase in general and administrative expense from the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily due to a $751,000 increase in payroll and benefit costs due to an increase in general and administrative employee headcount from 14 to 16 and a $421,000 increase in outside contractor expense.

Interest and other income (expense), net

Interest and other income (expense), net, consists primarily of warrant revaluation expense, interest income and foreign currency translation adjustments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recognized $739,000 and $71,000, respectively, of warrant revaluation expense in accordance with FSP 150-5. Interest income increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005 due to higher interest earned on greater cash balances, primarily resulting from cash generated from operating activities.

Income tax provision

The income tax benefit was $799,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to a provision of $353,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 due to changes in our effective tax rate as a result of releasing our valuation allowance in the first quarter of 2006.

During the first quarter of 2006, we released $3.3 million of our tax valuation allowance on specific deferred tax assets, primarily as a result of achieving sustained profitability in all tax jurisdictions. As part of releasing our valuation allowance, we restored tax reserves related to our uncertain tax position for research and development credits in the amount of approximately $251,000. With the exception of these discrete items, our annual effective tax rate on operating income is approximately 40%. This rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the non-deductibility of certain stock and warrant costs and state taxes. The tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased to 42% due to additional state taxes incurred in 2005. Our benefit from income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $799,000 compared to a tax provision of $353,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Product revenues. The $20.8 million, or 68%, increase in product revenues from 2004 to 2005, and the $18.2 million, or 150%, increase from 2003 to 2004 were due to increased demand for our Spectrum server products. We sold to 155 customers in 2005 compared to 100 customers in 2004 and 67 customers in 2003. One customer, a system integrator, represented 10% and 12% of our product revenues for 2005 and 2004. In 2004, an additional system integrator, accounted for 15% of our product revenues. No customer represented greater than 10% of our product revenues in 2003.

Service revenues. The $1.9 million, or 181%, and $789,000, or 296%, increase in service revenues from 2004 to 2005 and from 2003 to 2004, respectively, resulted from the corresponding increases in product revenues during the same periods. The increases during 2004 and 2005 were also due to increased renewal rates and improved pricing for maintenance contracts.

Gross profit and gross margin

The following table shows the gross profit on each of our revenue components in 2005, 2004 and 2003 in absolute dollars and the related gross margin:

			Year ended December 31,									Change from 2003 to 2004				Change from 2004 to 2005

Gross profit:
	Product		$	5,759		$	18,700		$	32,330		$	12,941	225	%	$	13,630	73	%

		Total gross margin		48	%		61	%		61	%

Product gross margin. Gross margin for product revenues remained relatively consistent from 2004 to 2005. Product gross margin increased significantly from 2003 to 2004 due to manufacturing overhead costs remaining relatively flat as sales volume increased. Increased sales volume also allowed us to negotiate better volume pricing from our vendors.

Service gross margin. We began selling maintenance and technical support services in 2003, and in 2004 and 2005, continued developing our maintenance and service infrastructure, increasing our headcount to 22 as of December 31, 2005 from six as of December 31, 2003. Gross margin for service revenues decreased from 2003 to 2005 as we continued to develop our maintenance and service infrastructure.

Operating expenses

The following table summarizes and analyzes our operating expenses for 2005, 2004 and 2003:

Total operating expenses			$	12,972		$	19,127		$	28,171		$	6,155	47	%	$	9,044	47	%

Research and development. The $3.4 million, or 53%, increase in research and development expense from 2004 to 2005 was primarily due to a $2.3 million increase in payroll and benefit costs resulting from an increase in research and development employee headcount from 44 to 63, a $513,000 increase in depreciation expenses and consumable supplies and

materials used in development and testing functions and a $287,000 increase in outsourced engineering services expense. The $1.5 million, or 29%, increase in research and development expense from 2003 to 2004 was primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in payroll and benefit costs resulting from an increase in research and development employee headcount from 26 to 44.

Sales and marketing. The $4.5 million, or 41%, increase in sales and marketing expense from 2004 to 2005 was primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in payroll and benefit costs resulting from an increase in sales and marketing employee headcount from 31 to 49 and an increase in sales commissions, a $542,000 increase in travel and entertainment costs for our sales and marketing functions, a $371,000 increase in depreciation and facilities expenses and a $262,000 increase in marketing costs, particularly tradeshow expenses. The $4.5 million, or 70%, increase in sales and marketing expenses from 2003 to 2004 was primarily due to a $3.3 million increase in payroll and benefit costs resulting from an increase in sales and marketing employee headcount from 19 to 31 and an increase in sales commissions, a $721,000 increase in marketing costs, particularly tradeshow and market research expenses and a $576,000 increase in travel and entertainment costs for our sales and marketing personnel.

General and administrative. The $1.2 million, or 66%, increase in general and administrative expense from 2004 to 2005 was primarily due to a $744,000 increase in payroll and benefit costs due to an increase in general and administrative employee headcount from eight to 14, a $255,000 increase in professional services expenses and a $214,000 increase in outside contractor expenses. The $193,000, or 12%, increase in general and administrative expense from 2003 to 2004 was primarily due to an increase in payroll and benefit costs resulting from an increase in general and administrative employee headcount from six to eight.

Interest and other income (expense), net

In 2005, 2004 and 2003, we reported interest and other income of $218,000, $47,000 and $27,000, respectively. Interest income increased over these periods due to higher interest earned on greater cash balances. During 2005, 2004 and 2003, we recognized $157,000, $0 and $0, respectively, of warrant revaluation expense in accordance with FSP 150-5.

Income tax provision

We generated approximately $4.9 million and $27,000 in income before income taxes and $7.0 million in loss before income taxes in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We recorded a provision for income taxes for 2005 of $243,000 resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately 5%. We recorded no provision for income taxes in 2004 and 2003 primarily due to the net operating loss carryforwards and other tax benefits we had accumulated. Due to the occurrence of a change in ownership of our company as contemplated by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, our utilization of net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable income was limited.

Quarterly results of operations data

The following table sets forth our unaudited quarterly consolidated statement of income data for each of the seven quarters in the period ended September 30, 2006. In management's opinion, the data has been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus, and reflects all necessary adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of this data. The results of historical periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year or any future period.

Revenues have increased sequentially in each of the quarters presented, due to increases in the number of products sold to new and existing customers, ongoing development of indirect and direct sales channels, and international expansion. Cost of service revenues increased in the second half of 2005 due to increased service headcount and the development of our maintenance and service infrastructure. Operating expenses increased sequentially as we added headcount and related costs to accommodate our growing business on a quarterly basis. The quarter ended March 31, 2006 includes a $336,000 out of period adjustment for stock-based compensation expense for 2004 and 2005, as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial

statements. The income tax benefit occurring in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 arose from release of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance as discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements. The quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006 include accretion of convertible preferred stock warrant expense of $41,000, $358,000 and $339,000, respectively.

Liquidity and capital resources

From our inception through 2004, we financed our operations primarily through private sales of convertible preferred stock totaling approximately $80.0 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and in 2005, we generated positive cash flow from operations, whereas in years prior to 2005, our operating activities used cash. As of September 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $16.9 million. We believe our cash, cash equivalents and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our financial obligations through at least the next 12 months. In the future, we may acquire complementary businesses or technologies or license complementary technologies from third parties, and we may decide to raise additional capital through future debt or equity financings to the extent we believe necessary to successfully complete these acquisitions or licenses. However, additional financing may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all, at the time we make such determinations, which could have a material adverse affect on our ability to maintain or improve our liquidity and cash position in the future.

Cash flows

The following table presents our cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for 2003, 2004 and 2005 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006:

	Year ended December 31,									Nine months ended September 30,

Net cash used in investing activities		(568	)		(1,148	)		(1,840	)		(1,119	)		(2,951	)

Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(6,701	)	$	7,966		$	5,248		$	3,424		$	255

Operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 consisted primarily of $6.3 million of net income, $2.5 million of depreciation and amortization expense, a $1.7 million increase in accounts payable reflecting increased vendor purchases and timing of payments, an increase in accrued liabilities of $789,000 principally due to an increase in income and liabilities, $739,000 of convertible preferred stock warrant accretion and $736,000 of stock-based compensation expense, which was partially offset by a $5.1 million increase in accounts receivable, a $3.1 million increase in deferred tax assets arising from the release of our valuation allowance and a $1.2 million increase in inventory. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to increased

revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 and to fluctuations in the timing of payments received by customers. Although our accounts receivable balance has increased, we have not experienced any write-offs of delinquent accounts during 2006. Cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 consisted primarily of $1.4 million of net income, a $3.0 million increase in deferred revenues, a $2.2 million increase in accrued liabilities and accounts payable reflecting increased vendor purchases and timing of payments, $1.5 million of depreciation and amortization as a result of capital expenditures and $628,000 of convertible preferred stock warrant accretion, which was partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in accounts receivable and a $1.6 million increase in inventory. The increase in deferred revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 included deferred product revenues for certain customer orders that were subject to customer acceptance criteria.

Cash provided by operating activities in 2005 consisted primarily of $4.1 million of net income, a $3.8 million increase in accrued liabilities and accounts payable reflecting increased vendor purchases and timing of payments, a $2.8 million increase in deferred revenue as a result of sales of product subject to customer acceptance provisions and $2.2 million of depreciation and amortization as a result of capital expenditures, which was partially offset by a $3.5 million increase in accounts receivable as a result of our increase in revenues and a $2.8 million increase in inventory as a result of our increase in revenues. The increase in accrued liabilities and accounts payable in 2005 were primarily due to an increase in sales compensation expense resulting from increased revenue during the period and to increases in professional services and outside consultant expenses as well as increased vendor purchases. Cash used in operating activities in 2004 was $1.3 million and consisted of a $3.7 million increase in accounts receivable as a result of our increase in revenues and a $2.1 million increase in inventory as a result of our increase in revenues, which was partially offset by increases of $2.3 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflecting increased vendor purchases and timing of payments, $1.3 million of depreciation and amortization and $1.0 million in deferred revenue. Cash used in operating activities in 2003 was $6.1 million and consisted of a net loss of $7.0 million to fund our operations and changes in working capital accounts of $719,000, which were partially offset by $1.4 million of depreciation and amortization expense.

Investing activities. We used $3.0 million, $1.1 million, $1.8 million, $1.1 million and $568,000 in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, and in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, primarily for the purchase of property and equipment to support the growth of our company. We expect to increase our capital expenditures in future periods as we continue to invest in computer and office equipment and leasehold improvements as we expand our business.

Financing activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and during 2005 and 2003, cash generated from financing activities related solely to the exercise of common stock options. During 2004, we generated $10.4 million in cash from our financing activities, primarily due to net proceeds of $10.4 million from the issuance of Series B-1 convertible preferred stock.

Contractual obligations

Our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2005 were as follows:

Purchase obligations in the above table represent non-cancelable contractual obligations as of December 31, 2005.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and 2004, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special-purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, or FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We are required to adopt the provisions of FIN 48 beginning in 2007. We are currently in the process of assessing what impact FIN 48 may have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulleting No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, or SAB No. 108, regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 states that registrants should use both a balance sheet approach and an income statement approach when quantifying and evaluating materiality of a misstatement. The interpretations in SAB No. 108 contain guidance on correcting errors under the dual approach as well as provide transition guidance for correcting errors. This interpretation does not change the requirements within Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, for the correction of an error in financial statements. SAB No. 108 is effective for annual financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. We will be required to adopt this interpretation in 2006. We do not expect the adoption of SAB No. 108 to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 in 2008 to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk

Interest rate sensitivity

As of September 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $16.9 million, which consisted of highly liquid money market instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Because of the short-term nature of these instruments, a sudden change in market interest rates would not be expected to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, as the yield curve of debt instruments may return to a standard profile, we may begin investing in longer-term debt instruments. Should we begin to invest in longer-term debt instruments, such fluctuations could reduce future interest income.

Foreign currency exchange risk

Although a majority of our revenues is derived from customers who reside outside of the United States, all of our revenues are derived from transactions denominated in U.S. dollars. Because of this, increases in the value of the U.S. dollar could require us to reduce our prices to remain competitive in foreign markets, which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. We have periodically reviewed and revised the pricing of our products available to our customers in foreign countries in response to these transaction-related risks.

Given that the only expenses that we incur in currencies other than U.S. dollars are certain costs which historically have not been a significant percentage of our revenues, we do not believe that our foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation risk is significant.

We have not hedged exposures denominated in foreign currencies or used any other derivative financial instruments as we do not believe that we currently have any significant direct foreign currency exchange rate risk. Although we transact our business in U.S. dollars, future fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar may affect the competitiveness of our products and results of operations.

Industry overview

The advent of new technologies and distribution platforms is driving fundamental changes in the way video content is produced, programmed, distributed and consumed. These changes are affecting all of the participants in the digital content value chain as shown below:

Content production. Production and post-production facilities create programming, advertisements and promotional content. National broadcasters create syndicated news and other programming, while individual stations produce local-interest content, as well as local and regional news programming. Traditionally, these companies have used analog, tape-based video production equipment to support the creation of content for a limited number of channels in a single format. The proliferation of new channels and platforms is driving the need for different types of content in multiple formats, forcing producers to create more content with greater efficiency. As a result, content producers are increasingly transitioning to digital production tools that take advantage of file-based workflows and disk-based shared storage platforms to improve workflow by enabling more collaborative production. The increasing use of file-based workflows requires high-performance storage systems that can support these new production processes.

Content programming. Broadcasters of all sizes combine and package content from production companies to create television programming. These international, national, regional or local organizations then use a variety of distribution services, such as over-the-air, cable, satellite and telecommunication companies, to deliver their programs to consumers. Historically, programs and interstitials, such as commercials, promotions and other inserted material, were either manually compiled on a single tape or stored on multiple individual tapes. The process of programming a channel required that programs be compiled in advance or that large numbers of tapes had to be managed and sequentially played back. Increasingly, broadcasters are using servers to replace tape-based operations. Servers enable true non-linear access to

shared content to support multi-channel operations and effectively eliminate the need for pre-compiled programs or tape-based workflows. Programs and interstitials can be ingested into a server, sequenced in any order and then played back as the continuous stream of a television channel. Further, once programs reside as a file within a server, it becomes easier to repackage and reformat those programs for distribution to new platforms. As the number of channels and platforms continues to increase, broadcasters are using server technology to streamline the creation of new channels and more quickly launch new program services. The increasing need to repurpose content requires scaleable storage to hold growing libraries of media files, as well as integration between server and storage platforms.

Content distribution. Over-the-air broadcasters and television service providers, including cable and satellite operators and, increasingly, certain telecommunications companies, distribute television programming to consumers. Most of these service providers must support a large number of channels, often combining content from a number of content programmers. The proliferation of specialty channels and new consumer video platforms is further driving content distributors to expand the number of channels offered, integrating content from a wider range of providers. More recently, new Internet-based content distribution companies have emerged in response to consumer demand for downloadable or Internet Protocol, or IP, streamed content. The use of server technology has been a key enabler of these trends, making it more cost-effective and efficient to operate a complex multi-channel environment and to take advantage of new distribution mediums.

Content consumption. Consumers are demanding broader access to both existing and new forms of content. Driven by advancements in consumer electronics, many consumers now want higher quality content in the form of high-definition, or HD, television. Additionally, consumers are increasingly obtaining content directly, on their own schedule, rather than as part of a pre-packaged program channel delivered on a fixed schedule. The proliferation of video-enabled devices such as personal video players and mobile phones is further driving the demand for content to be available anywhere at anytime. These changes in consumer behavior require new ways of formatting and distributing content, forcing producers and distributors to invest in new production and delivery platforms.

Changing environment for media companies

Across the digital content value chain, several key trends are driving changes in how production and distribution facilities are being designed and operated:

Analog to digital conversion. Media companies are embracing digital formats to ingest, process, store, manage and deliver content. The conversion of media into a digital format generally enables higher quality and more efficient production and distribution of content, due to its more accurate reproduction and data compression characteristics. A variety of compression standards now exist that enable more efficient transport and storage of digital video files. The growing demand for content in multiple formats for new platforms will further require advanced compression algorithms and the ability to quickly convert from one format to another.

Tape to disk-based storage. While tape-based systems have been the primary method used for television program production and delivery, these systems are rapidly being converted to disk-based systems as the number of channels of programming continues to grow and new forms of content become more prevalent. Disk-based storage enables simultaneous access to

raw content by multiple individuals and production teams and provides a means to better support the distribution of different content formats across multiple distribution channels. Digital content storage and processing systems have evolved to support the new workflow needs of media companies as they seek to manage the changes in how content is produced and distributed. For example, media server technology has advanced to where it is possible to store hundreds of hours of content and simultaneously play back many channels of continuous programming.

Standard-definition to high-definition content. In order to meet growing viewer demand for HD content, media companies are upgrading their applications and the infrastructure needed to produce and deliver HD programming. HD material is particularly challenging because it requires both larger capacity and higher bandwidth systems to transport, manipulate, archive and access the content. The adoption of HD is driving the need for enhanced servers, storage and software applications capable of ingesting, processing, storing, managing and delivering HD content.

Transition towards file-based workflow and file-based distribution. File-based systems are being used across all aspects of the digital content workflow, from acquisition with the emergence of file-based cameras, to production using video editing platforms, to distribution, which often utilizes file-based delivery services. File-based production allows for more collaborative work, as multiple individuals and production teams can access the same content from a shared storage resource. Once finished programs are available as digital files, new distribution models become possible, allowing content to pass more efficiently through the value chain and creating greater flexibility in how programs are delivered to consumers.

Our market opportunity

As shown below, the workflow within a media company typically consists of several stages:

•: ingest, where content is either captured in real-time and digitized or copied as a file from an outside source;
•: production, where content is accessed by multiple applications such as video editors, audio workstations or other preparation utilities to create finished programming; and
•: distribution, where content is delivered to a service provider or the consumer either as a real-time television signal or as a digital media file.

Across the workflow, new technologies and processes are being implemented to address the changing requirements of the media industry:

Ingest and production. Media companies are moving from manual dubbing, labeling and tape delivery processes to deployment of real-time server architectures to ingest digital media and make it immediately available for edit and production. The use of server and file-based storage technology enables more collaborative production activities and speeds the time-to-air, which is critical for a fast paced newsroom production environment.

Distribution. Distribution is evolving from a tape-based playout model to a file-based media server infrastructure capable of both multi-channel real-time playout as well as file-based content delivery. The growing need for more HD programming across more distribution channels is continuing to drive the utilization of media servers for playout.

According to Frost & Sullivan, the market for video servers used for ingest, production and distribution activities is expected to grow from $583 million in 2006 to $1.2 billion in 2010, representing a compound annual growth rate of 20%.

Workflow and storage. As digital media workflow migrates to a file-based approach, the need for centralized, high-bandwidth digital media file storage increases. Media storage needs to support simultaneous access by multiple applications, including editing and archiving, as well as a seamless interface between ingest and distribution servers. According to IDC, the market for capacity-optimized disk storage systems is expected to grow from $2.2 billion in 2006 to $8.6 billion in 2010, representing a compound annual growth rate of 41%.

Digital content management. As more content exists in file format, media companies will need robust content management solutions to address the challenges of indexing and archiving all their digital content files. To enable content management applications to function efficiently, storage and processing platforms must provide open interfaces, support industry standard protocols and file formats and provide efficient media metadata access. According to Frost & Sullivan, spending on digital asset management solutions is estimated to be

$643 million in 2006, and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 27% to $1.7 billion in 2010.

Content repurposing. To increase the value of their digital assets, content providers are seeking ways to repurpose content across multiple platforms, hoping to reach new audiences viewing content in new forms and on new devices. Each of these new platforms requires content to be reformatted for that platform, a process that takes time and consumes significant processing resources. Digital media files lend themselves to this process since they can be easily broken up and reassembled as needed.

Board committees

Our board of directors has an audit committee and a compensation committee, and intends to establish a corporate governance and nominating committee.

Audit committee. Our audit committee consists of Messrs. Schroeder, who is the committee chair, and Howard, each of whom is a non-employee director of our board of directors. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Schroeder is a financial expert and has determined that each of the directors serving on our audit committee is independent within the meaning of the rules of the SEC and the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market. The functions of this committee include, among other things:

•: reviewing and pre-approving the engagement of our independent auditors to perform audit services and any permissible non-audit services;
•: reviewing our annual and quarterly consolidated financial statements and reports and discussing the statements and reports with our independent auditors and management;
•: reviewing with our independent auditors and management significant issues that arise regarding accounting principles and financial statement presentation, and matters concerning the scope, adequacy and effectiveness of our financial controls; and
•: establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding financial controls, accounting or auditing matters.

Both our independent auditors and management periodically meet privately with our audit committee.

Compensation committee. Our compensation committee consists of Messrs. Wagner, who is the committee chair, and Raffel, each of whom is a non-employee director of our board of directors. Our board of directors has determined that each of the directors serving on our compensation committee is independent within the meaning of the rules of the SEC and the

listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market. The functions of this committee include, among other things:

•: determining the compensation and other terms of employment of our executive officers and reviewing and approving corporate performance goals and objectives relevant to such compensation;
•: recommending to our board of directors the type and amount of compensation to be paid or awarded to board members;
•: evaluating and recommending to our board of directors the equity incentive plans, compensation plans and similar programs advisable for us, as well as modification or termination of existing plans and programs;
•: establishing policies with respect to equity compensation arrangements; and
•: reviewing and approving the terms of any employment agreements, severance arrangements, change-in-control protections and any other compensatory arrangements for our executive officers.

Corporate governance and nominating committee. We intend to establish a corporate governance and nominating committee, the functions of which will include, among other things:

•: developing and maintaining a current list of the functional needs and qualifications of members of our board of directors;
•: evaluating director performance on the board and applicable committees of the board and determining whether continued service on our board is appropriate;
•: interviewing, evaluating, nominating and recommending individuals for membership on our board of directors;
•: evaluating nominations by stockholders of candidates for election to our board;
•: developing, reviewing and amending a set of corporate governance policies and principles, including a code of ethics;
•: considering questions of possible conflicts of interest of directors as such questions arise; and
•: recommending to our board of directors the establishment of such special committees as may be desirable or necessary from time to time to address ethical, legal, business or other matters that may arise.

Compensation committee interlocks and insider participation

No member of our compensation committee has ever been an executive officer or employee of ours. None of our executive officers currently serves, or has served during the last completed year, on the compensation committee or board of directors of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our board of directors or compensation committee. Prior to establishing the compensation committee, our full board of directors made decisions relating to compensation of our executive officers.

Director compensation

Our directors do not receive cash compensation for their services as directors. However, all of our directors, including our non-employee directors, are eligible to receive stock options under our 1998 stock option plan. We intend to adopt a compensation policy for our non-employee board members prior to the closing of this offering.

In September 2005, Mr. Alwan received a stock option to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock in connection with his service as a director at an exercise price of $0.50 per share and vesting ratably over 36 months. In addition, the vesting of the shares subject to this option accelerates in full upon a change in our control.

In December 2006, Mr. Castor received a stock option to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock in connection with his service as a director at an exercise price of $12.50 per share and vesting ratably over 36 months. In addition, the vesting of the shares subject to this option accelerates in full upon a change in our control.

In April 2003, Mr. Schroeder received a stock option to purchase 30,300 shares of our common stock in connection with his service as a director at an exercise price of $0.10 per share and vesting ratably over 36 months. In October 2005, Mr. Schroeder received an additional stock option to purchase 20,000 shares of our common stock in connection with his service as a director at an exercise price of $0.85 per share and vesting ratably over 36 months. In addition, the vesting of the shares subject to these options accelerates in full upon a change in our control.

The following table provides information for 2005 regarding all plan and non-plan compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to each person who served as a non-employee director for some portion or all of 2005. Other than as set forth in the table and the narrative that follows it, to date we have not paid any fees to or reimbursed any expenses of our directors, made any equity or non-equity awards to directors, or paid any other compensation to directors.

Executive compensation

Compensation discussion and analysis

Our executive compensation program is designed to attract, as needed, individuals with the skills necessary for us to achieve our business plan, to reward those individuals fairly over time, to retain those individuals who continue to perform at or above the levels that we expect and to closely align the compensation of those individuals with the performance of our company on both a short-term and long-term basis. To that end, our executive officers' compensation has three primary components—base compensation or salary, annual cash performance bonuses and stock option awards. In addition, we provide our executive officers a variety of benefits that are available generally to all salaried employees.

General. We view the components of compensation as related but distinct. Although our compensation committee reviews total compensation of our executive officers, we do not believe that significant compensation derived from one component of compensation should negate or reduce compensation from other components. We determine the appropriate level for each compensation component based in part, but not exclusively, on competitive benchmarking consistent with our recruiting and retention goals, our view of internal equity and consistency, overall company performance and other considerations we deem relevant. To this end, we review a number of executive compensation surveys of high technology companies located in the Silicon Valley area when making a crucial executive officer hiring decision and annually when we review executive compensation. Except as described below, our compensation committee has not adopted any formal or informal policies or guidelines for allocating compensation between long-term and currently paid out compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation or among different forms of non-cash compensation. However, the compensation committee's philosophy is to make a greater percentage of an employee's compensation performance-based and to keep cash compensation to a nominally competitive level while providing the opportunity to be well rewarded through equity if the company performs well over time. We also believe that for technology companies stock-based compensation is the primary motivator in attracting employees, rather than base salary or cash bonuses.

Our compensation committee's current intent is to perform at least annually a strategic review of our executive officers' overall compensation packages to determine whether they provide adequate incentives and motivation and whether they adequately compensate our executive officers relative to comparable officers in other companies with which we compete for executives. Our compensation committee's most recent overall compensation review occurred in January 2006. Compensation committee meetings typically have included, for all or a portion of each meeting, not only the committee members but also our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. For compensation decisions, including decisions regarding the grant of equity compensation, relating to executive officers other than to our chief executive officer, the

compensation committee typically considers recommendations from the chief executive officer and/or other members of management.

We account for equity compensation paid to our employees under SFAS 123R, which requires us to estimate and record an expense over the service period of the award. Our cash compensation is recorded as an expense at the time the obligation is accrued. We receive a tax deduction for the compensation expense. We structure cash bonus compensation so that it is taxable to our executives at the time it becomes available to them. We currently intend that all cash compensation paid will be tax deductible for us. However, with respect to equity compensation awards, while any gain recognized by employees from nonqualified options granted at fair market value should be deductible, to the extent that an option constitutes an incentive stock option gain recognized by the optionee will not be deductible if there is no disqualifying disposition by the optionee. In addition, if we grant restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards that are not subject to performance vesting, they may not be fully deductible by us at the time the award is otherwise taxable to employees.

Base compensation. We fix executive officer base compensation at a level we believe enables us to hire and retain individuals in a competitive environment and rewards satisfactory individual performance and a satisfactory level of contribution to our overall business goals. We also take into account the base salaries that are payable by companies with which we believe we generally compete for executives.

The salaries of Messrs. Kennedy and Craig and Ms. Perrone were increased by approximately 10%, 4% and 9%, respectively, in 2006. These increases were part of our normal annual salary review process and reflect our compensation committee's review of the compensation levels of similar positions at comparable companies.

Cash bonuses. We utilize cash bonuses to reward performance achievements with a time horizon of one year or less. Annual bonus targets are determined by our compensation committee as a percentage of each executive officer's base salary. Our compensation committee also determines the performance measures and other terms and conditions of these cash bonuses for executive officers. For 2005, the bonus targets for the executive officers ranged from 10% to 30% of base salary. Bonus targets for our executive officers are established as a pre-determined percentage of base salary or specific dollar amounts, based on performance against a specific plan or specified criteria that are intended to provide a competitive level of compensation when the executive officers achieve their performance objectives as approved by our compensation committee. This specified percentage or dollar amount is fixed in the officer's employment offer letter or subsequently by our compensation committee. The actual bonus award is determined according to each executive officer's level of achievement against these performance objectives. The bonus for 2005 for our chief executive officer was based entirely on company performance targets, consisting of annual revenues and operating results. The performance objectives for other executive officers generally included both company performance targets, as well as individual performance objectives determined by our chief executive officer. For those executives that perform sales functions, the amount of bonus is also determined based on an individualized sales commission plan that is directly related to the amount of products sold and that person's role in the sale. The compensation committee chose revenues and operating results because it believed that, as a "growth company," we should reward revenue growth, but only if that revenue growth is achieved cost effectively. Thus, the compensation committee considered the chosen metrics to be the best indicators of financial success and stockholder value creation. We do not have a formal policy regarding adjustment

or recovery of awards or payments if the relevant performance measures upon which they are based are restated or otherwise adjusted in a manner that would reduce the size of the award or payment.

For 2005, Mr. Kennedy and Ms. Perrone received a bonus equal to approximately 62% and 20%, respectively, of his or her base salary. As our Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales, Mr. Marshall's bonus was largely based upon sales commissions and specific sales targets contained in his sales compensation plan, together with an additional bonus equal to approximately 20% of his base salary, which was due to achievement of specific milestones determined by our chief executive officer. The amount of Mr. Kaplan's bonus was largely based upon sales commissions and specific sales targets contained in his sales compensation plan. In addition to his annual bonus, Mr. Kaplan received loan forgiveness of approximately $51,000 during 2005, representing monthly forgiveness of principle of $5,000 and interest, as required pursuant to the terms of his existing retention agreement from 2002. For 2006, the bonus targets for the executive officers range from 15% to 33% of base salary.

Stock options and equity awards. We utilize stock options to ensure that our executive officers have a continuing stake in our long-term success. Because our executive officers are awarded stock options with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, the determination of which is discussed below, these options will have value to our executive officers only if the market price of our common stock increases after the date of grant. Typically, our stock options vest at a rate of 25% of the shares subject to the option on the first anniversary of the grant date, and with respect to approximately 2.1% of the shares each month thereafter. The stock options that we have granted under our 1998 stock option plan typically may be exercised by the recipient at any time, however, any shares purchased are subject to a lapsing right of repurchase in our favor. This repurchase right lapses on the same schedule as the vesting of the option.

Authority to make stock option grants to executive officers has historically rested with our board of directors, and we expect our board of directors will delegate that authority to our compensation committee in the future. In determining the size of stock option grants to executive officers, our board of directors considers our performance against the strategic plan, individual performance against the individual's objectives, comparative share ownership data from compensation surveys of high technology companies in our area, the extent to which shares subject to previously granted options are vested and the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer and other members of management.

In 2006, we hired an independent valuation firm to determine the fair market value of our common stock as of March 31, 2006, September 30, 2006 and December 1, 2006. Prior to the engagement of an outside valuation firm, our board of directors determined the value of our common stock based on internal reports and other relevant factors.

We do not have any program, plan or obligation that requires us to grant equity compensation on specified dates and, because we have not been a public company, we have not made equity grants in connection with the release or withholding of material non-public information. However, we intend to implement policies to ensure that equity awards are granted at fair market value on the date that the grant action occurs.

During 2005, we granted options to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock to each of Messrs. Kennedy, Marshall and Kaplan, 20,000 shares to Mr. Craig and 10,000 shares to

Ms. Perrone. Each of the grants had an exercise price of $0.85 per share. These grants were made by our board of directors as part of our process of reviewing equity positions of our employees, and the board determined that, in light of the individuals' performance, equity ownership and level of vesting, it was appropriate to provide additional incentive for each of these personnel. To date, substantially all of our options have been granted under our 1998 stock option plan, which is described below under "Management—Employee Benefit Plans."

Prior to the completion of this offering, we plan to adopt a new equity incentive plan and a new employee stock purchase plan, both of which are described below under "Management—Employee benefit plans." The 2007 equity incentive plan will replace our existing 1998 stock option plan immediately following this offering and will afford greater flexibility in making a wide variety of equity awards, including stock options, shares of restricted stock and stock appreciation rights, to executive officers and our other employees. The 2007 employee stock purchase plan will enable eligible employees to periodically purchase shares of our common stock at a discount. Participation in the 2007 employee stock purchase plan will be available to all executive officers following this offering on the same basis as our other employees.

Other than the equity plans described above, we do not have any equity security ownership guidelines or requirements for our executive officers.

Severance and change of control payments. Some of our executive officers are entitled to receive severance payments equal to a specified number of months of base salary, as well as accelerated vesting of stock options as to the number of shares that would have vested over that same monthly period in the event that their employment is terminated other than for "cause" or if they terminate their employment for "good reason." Additionally, all of our executive officers are entitled to severance payments equal to six months of base salary and accelerated vesting of stock options as to the number of shares that would have vested over the one year period following the termination if the executive officer's employment was so terminated by the acquiring company within one year following a change of control.

We believe these severance and change of control arrangements mitigate some of the risk that exists for executives working in a smaller company. These arrangements are intended to attract and retain qualified executives that could have other job alternatives that may appear to them to be less risky absent these arrangements. Because of the significant acquisition activity in the high technology industry, there is a possibility that we could be acquired in the future. Accordingly, we believed that the larger severance packages resulting from terminations related to change of control transactions would provide an incentive for these executives to continue to help successfully execute such a transaction from its early stages until closing.

For a description and quantification of these severance and change of control benefits, please see the section entitled "Management—Executive compensation—Employment, severance and change of control arrangements."

Other benefits. Executive officers are eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans, such as medical, dental, vision, group life, disability, and accidental death and dismemberment insurance and our 401(k) plan, in each case on the same basis as other employees, subject to applicable law. We also provide vacation and other paid holidays to all employees, including our executive officers, which are comparable to those provided at peer companies.

Employment, severance and change of control arrangements

Joseph S. Kennedy. We entered into an employment offer letter with Mr. Kennedy dated June 8, 2003. The written offer of employment does not provide a specific term for Mr. Kennedy's employment; rather, Mr. Kennedy's employment with us is "at-will" and may be terminated at any time with or without notice, for any or no reason, at either Mr. Kennedy's or our option. Mr. Kennedy's current annual base salary is $275,000, and he is eligible to earn a bonus for 2006 of up to 30% of his base salary upon the achievement of certain operational milestones determined by our compensation committee. If we (or our successor) terminate Mr. Kennedy for any reason other than as a result of an act of material dishonesty made by Mr. Kennedy, his conviction of a felony, his gross misconduct or his continued substantial violations of his employment duties after receiving a written demand for performance from us, or Mr. Kennedy terminates his employment with us as a result of a significant reduction in, or removal from, his duties, position or responsibilities, a reduction in his base salary (other than in connection with a company-wide salary reduction applicable to similarly-situated executives), or his relocation to a location more than 50 miles from his current location, in each case without his consent, and he signs and does not revoke a standard release of claims, then he will be entitled to receive his then current base salary and continuing healthcare coverage for a period of three months following termination, or six months following termination if his termination was within one year following a change of control, and his stock options will become vested as to that number of shares that would have vested had he remained employed with us through the three-month period following the date of termination, or the 12-month period following the date of termination if his termination was within one year following a change of control.

Laura A. Perrone. We entered into an employment offer letter with Ms. Perrone dated August 29, 2003. The written offer of employment does not provide a specific term for Ms. Perrone's employment; rather, Ms. Perrone's employment with us is "at-will" and may be terminated at any time with or without notice, for any or no reason, at either Ms. Perrone's or our option. Ms. Perrone's current annual base salary is $205,000, and she is eligible to earn a

bonus for 2006 of up to 20% of her base salary upon the achievement of certain operational milestones determined by our chief executive officer. In December 2005, our compensation committee approved certain amendments to the terms of Ms. Perrone's offer letter relating to the benefits to which Ms. Perrone is entitled upon a change in our control. Pursuant to these amended terms, if we (or our successor) terminate Ms. Perrone for any reason other than as a result of an act of material dishonesty made by Ms. Perrone, her conviction of a felony, her gross misconduct or her continued substantial violations of her employment duties after receiving a written demand for performance from us, or Ms. Perrone terminates her employment with us as a result of a significant reduction in, or removal from, her duties, position or responsibilities, a reduction in her base salary (other than in connection with a company-wide salary reduction applicable to similarly-situated executives), or her relocation to a location more than 50 miles from her current location, in each case without her consent, and she signs and does not revoke a standard release of claims, then she will be entitled to receive her then current base salary and continuing healthcare coverage for a period of two months following termination, or six months following termination if her termination was within one year following a change of control, and her stock options will become vested as to that number of shares that would have vested had she remained employed with us through the two-month period following the date of termination, or the 12-month period following the date of termination if her termination was within one year following a change of control.

Daniel J. Marshall. We entered into an employment offer letter with Mr. Marshall dated August 2, 2001. The written offer of employment does not provide a specific term for Mr. Marshall's employment; rather, Mr. Marshall's employment with us is "at-will" and may be terminated at any time with or without notice, for any or no reason, at either Mr. Marshall's or our option. Mr. Marshall's current annual base salary is $210,000, and he is eligible to earn sales commissions for 2006 of up to $175,000 depending on our performance against our revenue plan, plus an additional $15,000 bonus upon achievement of certain milestones determined by our chief executive officer. In December 2005, our compensation committee approved certain amendments to the terms of Mr. Marshall's offer letter relating to the benefits to which Mr. Marshall is entitled upon a change in our control. Pursuant to these amended terms, if we (or our successor) terminate Mr. Marshall for any reason other than as a result of an act of material dishonesty made by Mr. Marshall, his conviction of a felony, his gross misconduct or his continued substantial violations of his employment duties after receiving a written demand for performance from us, or Mr. Marshall terminates his employment with us as a result of a significant reduction in, or removal from, his duties, position or responsibilities, a reduction in his base salary (other than in connection with a company-wide salary reduction applicable to similarly-situated executives), or his relocation to a location more than 50 miles from his current location, in each case without his consent, within one year following a change in our control, and he signs and does not revoke a standard release of claims, then he will be entitled to receive his then current base salary and continuing healthcare coverage for a period of six months following termination and his stock options will become vested as to that number of shares that would have vested had he remained employed with us through the 12-month period following the date of termination.

Lawrence R. Kaplan. We entered into an amended and restated retention agreement with Mr. Kaplan dated November 1, 2002. The retention agreement does not provide a specific term for Mr. Kaplan's employment; rather, Mr. Kaplan's employment with us is "at-will" and may be terminated at any time with or without notice, for any or no reason, at either Mr. Kaplan's or

our option. Mr. Kaplan's current annual base salary is $210,000, and he is eligible to earn sales commissions for 2006 of up to $90,000 depending on our performance against our revenue plan, plus an additional $15,000 bonus upon achievement of certain milestones determined by our chief executive officer. The retention agreement also provided for a monthly bonus until October 2005 of $5,000 in the form of forgiveness of a loan from us to Mr. Kaplan, as described below in the section entitled "Transactions with related persons, promoters and certain control persons." If we (or our successor) terminate Mr. Kaplan for any reason other than as a result of an act of material dishonesty made by Mr. Kaplan, his conviction of a felony, his gross misconduct or his continued substantial violations of his employment duties after receiving a written demand for performance from us, or Mr. Kaplan terminates his employment with us as a result of a significant reduction in, or removal from, his duties, position or responsibilities, a reduction in his base salary (other than in connection with a company-wide salary reduction applicable to similarly-situated executives), or his relocation to a location more than 50 miles from his current location, in each case without his consent, then he will be entitled to receive his then current base salary and continuing healthcare coverage for a period of three months following termination, or six months following termination if his termination was within one year following a change of control (as defined in the retention agreement), and his stock options will become vested as to that number of shares that would have vested had he remained employed with us through the three-month period following the date of termination, or the 12-month period following the date of termination if his termination was within one year following a change of control.

Donald M. Craig. Mr. Craig's current annual base salary is $192,400 and he is eligible to earn a bonus for 2006 of up to 15% of his base salary upon the achievement of certain operational milestones determined by our chief executive officer. In December 2005, our compensation committee approved our entering into a letter agreement with Mr. Craig that provides Mr. Craig with certain benefits upon a change in our control. If we (or our successor) terminate Mr. Craig for any reason other than as a result of an act of material dishonesty made by Mr. Craig, his conviction of a felony, his gross misconduct or his continued substantial violations of his employment duties after receiving a written demand for performance from us, or Mr. Craig terminates his employment with us as a result of a significant reduction in, or removal from, his duties, position or responsibilities, a reduction in his base salary (other than in connection with a company-wide salary reduction applicable to similarly-situated executives), or his relocation to a location more than 50 miles from his current location, in each case without his consent, within one year following a change of control (as defined in the letter), and he signs and does not revoke a standard release of claims, then he will be entitled to receive his then current base salary and continuing healthcare coverage for a period of six months following termination and his stock options will become vested as to that number of shares that would have vested had he remained employed with us through the 12-month period following the date of termination.

Vesting acceleration. In addition to the acceleration of vesting provisions described above, all options to purchase common stock issued to our named executive officers may be subject to accelerated vesting upon a change of control as described below in the section entitled "Management—Employee Benefit Plans."

Termination of employment for death or disability. If the employment of any of our named executive officers is terminated as a result of his or her disability, that officer will be entitled to

long-term disability insurance benefits under our long-term disability insurance program equal to 60% of his or her monthly salary, up to $10,000 per month. If the employment of any of our named executive officers is terminated as a result of his or her death, the beneficiaries of that officer will be entitled to life insurance benefits under our group life insurance program equal to two times his or her annual base salary up to $500,000.

Employee benefit plans

1998 stock option plan

Background. Our board of directors adopted, and our stockholders approved, our 1998 stock option plan, which we refer to as our 1998 plan, in July 1998.

Administration. Our board of directors currently administers our 1998 plan. Our compensation committee will be responsible for administering all of our equity compensation plans upon the closing of this offering. Under our 1998 plan, the plan administrator has the power to determine the terms of the awards, including the service providers who will receive awards, the exercise price, the number of shares subject to each award, the vesting schedule and exercisability of awards and the form of consideration payable upon exercise of an option.

Share reserve. As of September 30, 2006, options to purchase 3,289,042 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.71 per share were outstanding under our 1998 plan and 158,313 shares of our common stock remained available for issuance upon the exercise of options that may be granted in the future. In October 2006 and December 2006, we increased by 400,000 in the aggregate the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 1998 plan. Following the closing of this offering, all shares of our common stock reserved but not ultimately issued or subject to options that have expired or otherwise terminated under our 1998 plan without having been exercised in full will become available for issuance under our 2007 equity incentive plan, which we refer to as our 2007 plan. We intend to grant all future stock option awards under our 2007 plan upon and after the closing of this offering. However, all stock options outstanding upon the closing of this offering will continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the 1998 plan.

Eligibility and types of option grants. With respect to stock options, our 1998 plan provides for the grant of both incentive stock options (commonly referred to as ISOs), which qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code for their recipients, and nonqualified stock options (commonly referred to as NSOs). ISOs may be granted only to employees. NSOs may be granted to our employees, officers, directors and consultants.

Terms of option grants. The exercise price of options is determined by the plan administrator, subject to applicable statutory requirements. The exercise price of ISOs granted to a person who directly or by attribution owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock, or a 10% stockholder, must be at least equal to 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. All other ISOs must be granted with an exercise price at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock options become vested and exercisable, as applicable, within such periods, or upon such events, as determined by the plan administrator and as set forth in the related stock option agreement. To date, as a matter of practice, options have generally been subject to a four-year vesting period (25% on the first anniversary of the grant date and ratably monthly thereafter). Our 1998 plan also allows for the early exercise of unvested options, provided that right is permitted in the applicable stock option agreement. All outstanding unvested shares of our common stock acquired through early exercised options are subject to repurchase by us. The maximum permitted term of options granted under our 1998 plan is ten years (and five years for certain persons holding ISOs).

After termination of an optionee, he or she may exercise his or her vested option for the period of time stated in the stock option agreement. Generally, if termination is due to death or disability, the vested option will generally remain exercisable for six months. In all other cases, the vested option will generally remain exercisable for three months. However, an option may not be exercised later than its expiration date.

Change in control. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or change in control transaction, outstanding options under our 1998 plan may be assumed or replaced by the successor company (if any). Outstanding options that are not assumed or replaced by the successor company (if any) will expire on the consummation of the liquidation, dissolution or change in control transaction at such time and on such conditions as our board of directors determines (including the ability to partially or totally accelerate the vesting of stock options granted under our 1998 plan).

Transferability of awards. Generally, a participant may not transfer options other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. During the lifetime of an optionee, the option is exercisable only by the optionee.

Amendment and Termination. Our board of directors may amend or terminate our 1998 plan at any time, subject to stockholder approval where required. In addition, no amendment that is detrimental to a participant in our 1998 plan may be made to an outstanding option without the consent of the affected participant.

2007 equity incentive plan

Background. Our 2007 plan will serve as the successor equity compensation plan to our 1998 stock option plan. Our board of directors adopted our 2007 plan in 2007 and our stockholders approved the 2007 plan in 2007. Our 2007 plan will become effective on the date of our initial public offering and will terminate in 2017. Our 2007 plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and stock bonuses.

Administration. Our 2007 plan will be administered by our compensation committee. This committee will act as the plan administrator and will determine which individuals are eligible to receive awards under our 2007 plan, the time or times when such awards are to be made, the number of shares subject to each such award, the status of any granted option as either an ISO or an NSO under United States federal tax laws, the vesting schedule applicable to an award and the maximum term for which any award is to remain outstanding (subject to the limits set forth in our 2007 plan). The committee will also determine the exercise price of options granted, the purchase price for rights to purchase restricted stock and, if applicable, restricted stock units, and the strike price for stock appreciation rights. Unless the committee provides otherwise, our 2007 plan does not allow for the transfer of awards and only the recipient of an award may exercise an award during his or her lifetime.

Share reserve. We have reserved shares of our common stock for issuance under our 2007 plan plus:

•: all shares of our common stock reserved under our 1998 plan that are not issued or subject to outstanding grants as of the completion of this offering;

•: any shares of our common stock issued under our 1998 plan that are forfeited or repurchased by us at the original purchase price; and
•: any shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of options granted under our 1998 plan that expire without having been exercised in full.

Additionally, our 2007 plan provides for automatic increases in the number of shares available for issuance under it as follows:

•: on January 1, 2008, the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under our 2007 plan will be automatically increased by an amount equal to the product of % of the number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding on December 31, 2007 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days between the completion of this offering and December 31, 2007 and the denominator of which is 365;
•: on the first day of each January from 2009 through 2017, the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under our 2007 plan will be increased by % of the number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding on the preceding December 31st; or
•: a lesser number of shares of our common stock as determined by our board of directors.

Equity awards. Our 2007 plan permits us to grant the following types of awards:

Stock options. Our 2007 plan provides for the grant of ISOs to employees, and NSOs to employees, directors and consultants. Options may be granted with terms determined by the committee, provided that ISOs are subject to statutory limitations. The committee determines the exercise price for a stock option, within the terms and conditions of our 2007 plan and applicable law, provided that the exercise price of an ISO may not be less than 100% (or higher in the case of certain recipients of ISOs) of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. ISOs exercisable for no more than shares may be granted over the life of our 2007 plan. Options granted under our 2007 plan will vest at the rate specified by the committee and such vesting schedule will be set forth in the stock option agreement to which such stock option grant relates. Generally, the committee determines the term of stock options granted under our 2007 plan, up to a term of ten years, except in the case of certain ISOs.

After termination of an optionee, he or she may exercise his or her vested option for the period of time stated in the stock option agreement to which such option relates, up to a maximum of five years from the date of termination. Generally, if termination is due to death or disability, the vested option will remain exercisable for 12 months. In all other cases, the vested option will generally remain exercisable for three months. However, an option may not be exercised later than its expiration date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an optionee is terminated for cause (as defined in our 2007 plan), then the optionee's options shall expire on the optionee's termination date or at such later time and on such conditions as determined by our compensation committee.

Restricted stock. A restricted stock award is an offer by us to sell shares of our common stock subject to restrictions that the committee may impose. These restrictions may be based on completion of a specified period of service with us or upon the completion of performance goals during a performance period. The price of a restricted stock award will be determined by

the committee. Unless otherwise determined by the committee at the time of award, vesting ceases on the date the participant no longer provides services to us and unvested shares are forfeited to us or subject to repurchase by us.

Stock appreciation rights. Stock appreciation rights provide for a payment, or payments, in cash or shares of common stock, to the holder based upon the difference between the fair market value of our common stock on the date of exercise and the stated exercise price. Stock appreciation rights may vest based on time or achievement of performance conditions.

Restricted stock units. Restricted stock units represent the right to receive shares of our common stock at a specified date in the future, subject to forfeiture of such right due to termination of employment or failure to achieve specified performance conditions. If the restricted stock unit has not been forfeited, then on the date specified in the restricted stock unit agreement, we will deliver to the holder of the restricted stock unit whole shares of our common stock, cash or a combination of our common stock and cash.

Stock bonuses. Stock bonuses are granted as additional compensation for performance and therefore are not issued in exchange for cash.

Change in control. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or corporate transaction (as defined in our 2007 plan), except for options granted to non-employee directors (which vest and become exercisable in full upon a change in control event (as defined in our 2007 plan)), outstanding awards may be assumed or replaced by the successor company (if any). Outstanding awards that are not assumed or replaced by the successor company (if any) will expire on the consummation of the liquidation, dissolution or change in control transaction at such time and on such conditions as our board of directors determines (including, without limitation, full or partial vesting and exercisability of any or all outstanding awards issued under our 2007 plan).

Transferability of awards. Generally, a participant may not transfer an award other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution unless, in the case of awards other than ISOs, the committee permits the transfer of an award to certain authorized transferees (as set forth in our 2007 plan).

Eligibility. The individuals eligible to participate in our 2007 plan include our officers and other employees, our non-employee directors and any consultants.

Payment for purchase of shares of our common stock. Payment for shares of our common stock purchased pursuant to our 2007 plan may be made by any of the following methods (provided such method is permitted in the applicable award agreement to which such shares relate): (1) cash (including by check); (2) cancellation of indebtedness; (3) surrender of shares; (4) waiver of compensation due or accrued for services rendered; (5) through a "same day sale" program or through a "margin" commitment or (6) by any other method approved by our board of directors.

Limit on Awards. Under our 2007 plan, during any calendar year, no person will be eligible to receive more than shares of our common stock, and in the case of new employees during their first fiscal year of employment with us, shares of our common stock.

Amendment and Termination. Our board of directors may amend or terminate our 2007 plan at any time, subject to stockholder approval where required. In addition, no amendment that is

detrimental to a participant in our 2007 plan made to an outstanding award without the consent of the affected participant.

2007 employee stock purchase plan

Background. Our 2007 employee stock purchase plan is designed to enable eligible employees to periodically purchase shares of our common stock at a discount. Purchases are accomplished through participation in discrete offering periods. Our 2007 employee stock purchase plan is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Our board of directors adopted our 2007 employee stock purchase plan in 2007 and our stockholders approved the plan in 2007.

Share reserve. We have initially reserved shares of our common stock for issuance under our 2007 employee stock purchase plan. The number of shares reserved for issuance under our 2007 employee stock purchase plan will increase automatically on the first day of each January, starting with January 1, 2008, by the number of shares equal to % of our total outstanding shares as of the immediately preceding December 31st (rounded to the nearest whole share; provided, however, that, for the increase on January 1, 2008, such addition shall equal the product of % of our total outstanding shares as of December 31, 2007, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days between the effective date of this registration statement and December 31, 2007 and the denominator of which is 365 (rounded to the nearest whole share)). Our board of directors or compensation committee may reduce the amount of the increase in any particular year. No more than shares of our common stock may be issued under our 2007 employee stock purchase plan and no other shares may be added to this plan without the approval of our stockholders.

Administration. Our compensation committee will administer our 2007 employee stock purchase plan. Employees who are 5% stockholders, or would become 5% stockholders as a result of their participation in our 2007 employee stock purchase plan, are ineligible to participate in our 2007 employee stock purchase plan. We may impose additional restrictions on eligibility as well. Under our 2007 employee stock purchase plan, eligible employees may acquire shares of our common stock by accumulating funds through payroll deductions. Our eligible employees may select a rate of payroll deduction between 1% and 15% of their cash compensation. We also have the right to amend or terminate our 2007 employee stock purchase plan, except that, subject to certain exceptions, no such action may adversely affect any outstanding rights to purchase stock under the plan. Our 2007 employee stock purchase plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the first offering date, unless it is terminated earlier by our board of directors.

Purchase rights. When an offering period commences, our employees who meet the eligibility requirements for participation in that offering period are automatically granted a non-transferable option to purchase shares in that offering period. Each offering period may run for no more than 19 months and consist of no more than three purchase periods. An employee's participation automatically ends upon termination of employment for any reason.

No participant will have the right to purchase our shares at a rate which, when aggregated with purchase rights under all our employee stock purchase plans that are also outstanding in the same calendar year(s), have a fair market value of more than $ , determined as of the first day of the applicable offering period, for each calendar year in which such right is

outstanding. The purchase price for shares of our common stock purchased under our 2007 employee stock purchase plan will be 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of our common stock on (1) the first trading day of the applicable offering period and (2) the last trading day of each purchase period in the applicable offering period.

Change in control. In the event of a change in control transaction, our 2007 employee stock purchase plan and any offering periods that commenced prior to the closing of the proposed transaction may terminate on the closing of the proposed transaction and the final purchase of shares will occur on that date, but our compensation committee may instead terminate any such offering period at a different date.

401(k) plan

We offer a 401(k) plan to all employees who meet specified eligibility requirements. Eligible employees may contribute up to 75% of their respective compensation subject to limitations established by the Internal Revenue Code. We presently do not match participant contributions, but have the discretion to do so.

Indemnification of directors and executive officers and limitation of liability

Our certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal liability of a director for monetary damages resulting from breach of his fiduciary duty as a director.

Our bylaws provide that:

•: we are required to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to very limited exceptions;
•: we may indemnify our other employees and agents as provided in indemnification contracts entered into between us and our employees and agents;
•: we are required to advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to very limited exceptions; and
•: the rights conferred in the bylaws are not exclusive.

In addition to the indemnification required in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, we will enter into indemnity agreements with each of our current directors and officers before the completion of this offering. These agreements will provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers for all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action or proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were our agents. We have also obtained directors' and officers' insurance to cover our directors, officers and some of our employees for liabilities, including liabilities under securities laws. We believe that these indemnification provisions and agreements and this insurance are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.

A stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees regarding which indemnification by us is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

Principal and selling stockholders

The following table presents information as to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of November 30, 2006, and as adjusted to reflect the sale of the common stock in this offering, by:

•: each stockholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock;
•: each of our directors;
•: each of our named executive officers;
•: all of our directors and executive officers as a group; and

Shares of our common stock subject to options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of November 30, 2006 are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options or warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

The number of shares of our common stock outstanding after this offering includes shares of common stock being offered by us and does not include the shares that are subject to the underwriters' over-allotment option.

Loan to executive officer

On September 24, 1998, we entered into a loan agreement with Lawrence R. Kaplan, our chairman and a member of our board of directors who was then also our chief executive officer, which allowed for maximum borrowings by Mr. Kaplan from us of up to a total principal amount of $480,000. On April 1, 2003, we entered into an amendment to this loan agreement which modified the maximum total principal amount to $180,000, the total principal amount and accrued interest then outstanding under the loan. As amended, the loan was subject to interest at the prime rate, compounded quarterly. Mr. Kaplan also entered into a retention agreement with us in April 2003, which provided for, among other things, a bonus in the form of monthly forgiveness of loan principle of $5,000 plus interest. This bonus was paid over a period of three years ending in October 2005, at which time the loan was forgiven in full.

Indemnification agreements

We will enter into indemnity agreements with each of our current directors and officers before the completion of this offering, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our bylaws.

Voting rights. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Cumulative voting for the election of directors is not provided for in our certificate of incorporation, which means that the holders of a majority of the shares voted can elect all of the directors then standing for election.

No preemptive or similar rights. Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption.

Right to receive liquidation distributions. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders are distributable ratably among the holders of our common stock, subject to the preferential rights and payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Fully paid and nonassessable. All of our outstanding shares of common stock are, and the shares of common stock to be issued in this offering will be, fully paid and nonassessable.

105

Preferred stock

Upon the closing of this offering, each outstanding share of convertible preferred stock will be converted into common stock.

Following this offering, our board of directors will have the authority, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions. Our board of directors can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any series, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our capital stock entitled to vote, unless a vote of any other holders is required by the certificate of designation establishing the series. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Omneon and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. We have no current plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Warrants

As of September 30, 2006, we had one warrant outstanding to purchase 69 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $35.00 per share. This warrant expires in January 2007. We also have warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 152,140 shares of our Series A-6 preferred stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share and warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 327,296 shares of our Series A-6 preferred stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per share. These warrants to purchase preferred stock will be exercised on a net exercise basis in connection with the closing of this offering.

Registration rights

Following this offering, the holders of approximately shares of our common stock issued upon conversion of our convertible preferred stock will be entitled to rights with respect to the registration of these shares under the Securities Act, as described below.

Demand registration rights

At any time beginning six months after the completion of this offering, the holders of shares having registration rights can request that we file a registration statement covering registrable securities with an anticipated aggregate offering price of greater than $10 million, net of any underwriters' discounts and commissions. The holders of at least 20% of the shares having registration rights can also request that we file a registration statement covering registrable securities regardless of the aggregate offering price. We will only be required to file two registration statements upon exercise of these demand registration rights. We may postpone the filing of a registration statement for up to 120 days once in a 12-month period if we determine that the filing would be seriously detrimental to us or our stockholders.

106

Piggyback registration rights

After the completion of this offering, if we register any of our securities for public sale, the stockholders with registration rights will have the right to include their shares in the registration statement. However, this right does not apply to a registration relating to any of our employee benefit plans or a corporate reorganization. The managing underwriter of any underwritten offering will have the right to limit, due to marketing reasons, the number of shares registered by these holders to 30% of the total shares covered by the registration statement.

Form S-3 registration rights

The holders of at least 20% of the shares having registration rights can request that we register all or a portion of their shares on Form S-3 if we are eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3 and the aggregate price to the public of the shares offered is greater than $500,000, net of any underwriters' discounts and commissions. We may postpone the filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 for up to 120 days once in a 12-month period if we determine that the filing would be seriously detrimental to us or our stockholders.

Registration expenses

We will pay all expenses incurred in connection with each of the registrations described above, except for underwriters' and brokers' discounts and commissions. However, we will not pay for any expenses of any demand registration if the request is subsequently withdrawn by a majority of the holders requesting that we file such a registration statement, subject to limited exceptions.

Termination of registration rights

The registration rights described above will terminate five years after this offering is completed. In addition, the registration rights will terminate earlier with respect to a particular stockholder to the extent the shares held by and issuable to such holder may be sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act in any three month period. Holders of all of our shares with these registration rights have signed agreements with the underwriters prohibiting the exercise of their registration rights for 180 days, subject to a possible extension under certain circumstances, following the date of this prospectus. These agreements are described below in "Underwriting."

Anti-takeover provisions

The provisions of Delaware law, our restated certificate of incorporation and our restated bylaws may have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person from acquiring control of Omneon.

Delaware law

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 203 generally prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an

107

"interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:

•: prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
•: the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding (a) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (b) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
•: on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66.67% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Section 203 defines a business combination to include:

•: any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;
•: any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation;
•: subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
•: subject to exceptions, any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; and
•: the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.

Restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws

Our restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws which will become effective upon the completion of this offering provide that:

•: our board of directors may permit the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with any rights, preferences and privileges as they may designate (including the right to approve an acquisition or other change of control);
•: no action shall be taken by our stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders called in accordance with our restated bylaws and our stockholders may not act by written consent;

108

•: our stockholders may not call special meetings of our stockholders or fill vacancies on our board of directors;
•: there are no cumulative voting rights (therefore allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors standing for election); and
•: we will indemnify directors and officers against losses that they may incur in investigations and legal proceedings resulting from their services to us, which may include services in connection with takeover defense measures.

These provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws may have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person or entity from acquiring control of us. The approval of two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote shall be required to amend any of the provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation or restated bylaws.

Material U.S. federal income tax
consequences to non-U.S. holders

The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock to a non-U.S. holder. For the purpose of this discussion, a non-U.S. holder is any holder that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not a U.S. person. For purposes of this discussion, the term U.S. person means:

•: an individual citizen or resident of the U.S.;
•: a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation or a partnership or entity taxable as a partnership created or organized in the U.S. or under the laws of the U.S. or any political subdivision thereof;
•: an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
•: a trust (x) whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more U.S. persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (y) which has made an election to be treated a U.S. person.

If a partnership holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Accordingly, we urge partnerships that hold our common stock and partners in such partnerships to consult their tax advisors.

This discussion assumes that a non-U.S. holder will hold our common stock issued pursuant to the offering as a capital asset (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant in light of a non-U.S. holder's special tax status or special tax situations. U.S. expatriates, life insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, dealers in securities or currencies, banks or other financial institutions and investors that hold common stock as part of a hedge, straddle or conversion transaction are among those categories of potential investors that are subject to special rules not covered in this discussion. This discussion does not address any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction. Furthermore, the following discussion is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Accordingly, we urge each non-U.S. holder to consult a tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of shares of our common stock.

Dividends

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and we do not plan to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. However, if we do pay dividends on our common stock, those payments will constitute dividends for U.S. tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those dividends exceed our current and accumulated earnings and

110

profits, the dividends will constitute a return of capital and will first reduce a holder's basis, but not below zero, and then will be treated as gain from the sale of stock.

Any dividend (out of earnings and profits) paid to a non-U.S. holder of common stock generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax either at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividend or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable tax treaty. To receive a reduced treaty rate, a non-U.S. holder must provide us with an IRS Form W-8BEN or other appropriate version of Form W-8 certifying qualification for the reduced rate.

Dividends received by a non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business conducted by the non-U.S. holder are exempt from such withholding tax. To obtain this exemption, a non-U.S. holder must provide us with an IRS Form W-8ECI properly certifying such exemption. Such effectively connected dividends, although not subject to withholding tax, are taxed at the same graduated rates applicable to U.S. persons, net of certain deductions and credits, subject to any applicable tax treaty providing otherwise. In addition to the graduated tax described above, dividends received by corporate non-U.S. holders that are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the corporate non-U.S. holder may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable tax treaty.

A non-U.S. holder of common stock that is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax pursuant to a tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts currently withheld if an appropriate claim for refund is filed with the IRS.

Gain on disposition of common stock

A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of our common stock unless:

•: the gain is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the non-U.S. holder (which gain, in the case of a corporate non-U.S. holder, must also be taken into account for branch profits tax purposes), subject to any applicable tax treaty providing otherwise;
•: the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the U.S. for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the calendar year in which the sale or disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met; or
•: our common stock constitutes a U.S. real property interest by reason of our status as a "U.S. real property holding corporation" for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or the holder's holding period for our common stock. We believe that we are not currently, and that we will not become, a "U.S. real property holding corporation" for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Backup withholding and information reporting

Generally, we must report annually to the IRS the amount of dividends paid, the name and address of the recipient, and the amount, if any, of tax withheld. A similar report is sent to the holder. Pursuant to tax treaties or other agreements, the IRS may make its reports available to tax authorities in the recipient's country of residence.

111

Payments of dividends or of proceeds on the disposition of stock made to a non-U.S. holder may be subject to backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) unless the non-U.S. holder establishes an exemption, for example, by properly certifying its non-U.S. status on a Form W-8BEN or another appropriate version of Form W-8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that the holder is a U.S. person.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.

112

Shares eligible for future sale

Immediately prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices. Furthermore, since only a limited number of shares will be available for sale shortly after this offering because of contractual and legal restrictions on resale described below, sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market after the restrictions lapse could adversely affect the prevailing market price for our common stock as well as our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

Based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2006, upon completion of this offering, shares of common stock will be outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option and no exercise of outstanding options. All of the shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable unless held by an affiliate of ours. Except as set forth below, the remaining shares of common stock outstanding after this offering will be restricted as a result of securities laws or lock-up agreements. These remaining shares will generally become available for sale in the public market as follows:

•: no restricted shares will be eligible for immediate sale upon the completion of this offering;
•: up to restricted shares will be eligible for sale upon expiration of lock-up agreements at least 180 days after the date of this offering, subject in some cases to the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933; and
•: the remainder of the restricted shares will be eligible for sale from time to time thereafter upon the lapse of our right of repurchase with respect to unvested shares.

Rule 144

In general, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as in effect on the date of this prospectus, a person who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock for at least one year would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

•: 1% of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately shares immediately after this offering; or
•: the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

Rule 144(k)

Under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act as in effect on the date of this prospectus, a person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, is entitled to sell the shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.

113

Rule 701

Rule 701 under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date of this prospectus, permits resales of shares in reliance upon Rule 144 but without compliance with certain restrictions of Rule 144, including the holding period requirement. Most of our employees, executive officers, directors or consultants who purchased shares under a written compensatory plan or contract may be entitled to rely on the resale provisions of Rule 701, but all holders of Rule 701 shares are required to wait until 90 days after the date of this prospectus before selling their shares. However, substantially all Rule 701 shares are subject to lock-up agreements as described below and under "Underwriting" and will become eligible for sale at the expiration of those agreements.

Lock-up agreements

We, our directors and executive officers, and substantially all of our stockholders have entered into lock-up agreements with the underwriters prior to the commencement of this offering pursuant to which we and each of these persons or entities, with limited exceptions, for a period of 180 days after the date of the final prospectus, subject to possible extension under certain circumstances as described in "Underwriting," may not, without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., (1) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of our common stock (including, without limitation, common stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by such directors, executive officers, managers and members in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) or (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the common stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of common stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. These lock-up restrictions may be extended in specified circumstances and are subject to exceptions specified in the lock-up agreements. See "Underwriting."

Registration rights

Upon completion of this offering, the holders of shares of our common stock have rights with respect to the registration of their shares under the Securities Act, subject to the lock-up arrangement described above. Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in the shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act. Any sales of securities by these stockholders could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock. See "Description of capital stock—registration rights."

Equity incentive plans

We intend to file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our 1998 stock option plan, our 2007 equity incentive plan and our 2007 employee stock purchase plan. The registration statement is expected to be filed and become effective as soon as practicable after the completion of this offering. Accordingly, shares registered under the registration statement will be available for sale in the open market following its effective date, subject to Rule 144 volume limitations and the lock-up arrangement described above, if applicable.

114

Underwriting

We and the selling stockholders are offering the shares of common stock described in this prospectus through a number of underwriters. J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. is acting as sole book-running manager. J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Canaccord Adams Inc., Needham & Company, LLC and JMP Securities LLC are acting as representatives of the underwriters. We and the selling stockholders have entered into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we and the selling stockholders have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase, at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the number of shares of common stock listed next to its name in the following table:

Name		Number of shares


J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
Canaccord Adams Inc.
Needham & Company, LLC
JMP Securities LLC

Total

The underwriters are committed to purchase all the shares of common stock offered by us and the selling stockholders if they purchase any shares. The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults, the purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may also be increased or the offering may be terminated.

The underwriters propose to offer the shares of common stock directly to the public at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to certain dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $ per share. Any such dealers may resell shares to certain other brokers or dealers at a discount of up to $ per share from the initial public offering price. After the initial public offering of the shares, the offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the underwriters. The representatives have advised us that the underwriters do not intend to confirm discretionary sales in excess of 5% of the shares of common stock offered in this offering.

The underwriters have an option to buy up to additional shares of common stock from us to cover sales of shares by the underwriters which exceed the number of shares specified in the table above. The underwriters have 30 days from the date of this prospectus to exercise this over-allotment option. If any shares are purchased with this over-allotment option, the underwriters will purchase shares in approximately the same proportion as shown in the table above. If any additional shares of common stock are purchased, the underwriters will offer the additional shares on the same terms as those on which the shares are being offered.

The underwriting fee is equal to the initial public offering price per share of common stock less the amount paid by the underwriters to us and the selling stockholders per share of common stock. The underwriting fee is $ per share. The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid to the underwriters assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares.

We estimate that the total expenses of this offering, including registration, filing and listing fees, printing fees and legal and accounting expenses, but excluding the underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $ million.

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by one or more underwriters, or selling group members, if any, participating in the offering. The underwriters may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters and selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the representatives to underwriters and selling group members that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations.

We have agreed that we will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of our common stock, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing, without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) during the last 17 days of the 180-day restricted period, we issue an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to us occurs; or (2) prior to the expiration of the 180-day restricted period, we announce that we will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 180-day period, the restrictions described above shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event. These restrictions shall not apply to (a) sales of common stock in this offering, (b) grants of restricted stock and options under our equity incentive plans, (c) issuances of shares of common stock upon the exercise of options granted under our equity incentive plans or upon the exercise or conversion of warrants or preferred stock described in this prospectus where the recipients agree to be bound by the lock-up agreements described below, or (d) issuance of up to shares of common stock, or securities convertible into our common stock, in connection with mergers or acquisitions, joint ventures, commercial relationships or other strategic transactions where the recipients agree to be bound by the restrictions described below.

Our directors and executive officers, and substantially all of our stockholders have entered into lock-up agreements with the underwriters prior to the commencement of this offering pursuant to which each of these persons or entities, with limited exceptions, for a period of 180 days after the date of the final prospectus, may not, without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., (1) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of our common stock (including, without limitation, common stock that may be deemed

116

to be beneficially owned by such persons in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and securities that may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) or (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the common stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of common stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) during the last 17 days of the 180-day restricted period, we issue an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to our company occurs; or (2) prior to the expiration of the 180-day restricted period, we announce that we will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 180-day period, the restrictions described above shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event. These restrictions shall not apply to (a) sales of common stock by selling stockholders in this offering, (b) transactions relating to common stock acquired in open market transactions after the completion of this offering, provided that no filing by any party under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of common stock or other securities acquired in such open market transactions, (c) exercises of any option or warrant to acquire common stock or conversions of any convertible securities into common stock, provided that any shares of common stock obtained by such exercises or conversion shall remain subject to the terms of the lock-up agreements, (c) transfers of common stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock (i) as a bona fide gift, (ii) as a contribution by a person to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of that person or the immediate family of that person, (iii) as a distribution by a partnership to its partners or former partners or by a limited liability company to its members or retired members or (iv) to any affiliate, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, of the undersigned; provided that in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (c), (A) each transferee shall sign and deliver a lock-up agreement and (B) the undersigned shall not be required to, and shall not voluntarily, file a report under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of common stock during the restricted period referred to in the foregoing paragraph.

We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

We have applied to have our common stock approved for listing on The NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol OMNE.

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involves making bids for, purchasing and selling shares of common stock in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing transactions may include making short sales of the common stock, which involves the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of common stock than they are required to purchase in this offering, and purchasing shares of common stock on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales may be "covered" shorts, which are short positions in an amount not greater than the underwriters' over-allotment option referred to above, or may be "naked" shorts, which are short positions in excess of that amount. The underwriters may close out any covered short position either by exercising their over-allotment option, in whole or in part, or by purchasing

117

shares in the open market. In making this determination, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market compared to the price at which the underwriters may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. To the extent that the underwriters create a naked short position, they will purchase shares in the open market to cover the position.

The underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M of the Securities Act of 1933, they may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock, including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that if the representatives of the underwriters purchase common stock in the open market in stabilizing transactions or to cover short sales, the representatives can require the underwriters that sold those shares as part of this offering to repay the underwriting discount received by them.

These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock, and, as a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriters commence these activities, they may discontinue them at any time. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on The NASDAQ Global Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. The initial public offering price will be determined by negotiations between us and the representatives of the underwriters. In determining the initial public offering price, we and the representatives of the underwriters expect to consider a number of factors including:

•: the information set forth in this prospectus and otherwise available to the representatives;
•: our prospects and the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete;
•: an assessment of our management;
•: our prospects for future earnings;
•: the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering;
•: the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded common stock of generally comparable companies; and

Report of independent registered public accounting firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Omneon Video Networks, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders' equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Omneon Video Networks, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, Omneon Video Networks, Inc. adopted FASB Staff Position 150-5 (FSP 150-5) "Issuer's Accounting under FASB Statement No. 150 for Freestanding Warrants and Other Similar Instruments on Shares That Are Redeemable," during the year ended December 31, 2005.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Omneon U.K. Ltd. that services the Company's products in Europe, Omneon Asia Pacific, Ltd., Omneon Video Networks K.K., and Omneon Singapore Pte. Limited, that service the Company's products in Asia Pacific. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Unaudited interim financial statements

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006, the consolidated statements of operations and of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006, and the consolidated statements of convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity (deficit) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS No. 123(R)"), which supersedes its previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB No. 25").

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be reported for the year ending December 31, 2006.

Unaudited pro forma stockholders' equity information

The unaudited pro forma stockholders' equity information as of September 30, 2006 gives effect to the assumed conversion of all outstanding shares of the Company's convertible preferred stock into an aggregate of 17,047,446 shares (unaudited) of common stock based on

F-7

the shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding and the assumed conversion of the related convertible preferred stock underlying the warrants into an aggregate of 479,436 shares of common stock at September 30, 2006 upon the assumed completion of the Company's initial public offering. Unaudited pro forma stockholders' equity, as adjusted for the assumed conversion of the convertible preferred stock and the related convertible preferred stock underlying the warrants, is set forth on the face of the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Foreign currency translation

The foreign subsidiaries' functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included within "Interest and other income (expense), net." Such amounts are not significant to any of the periods presented.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist principally of treasury bills, certificates of deposit and money market funds that are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions or the issuers of these instruments to the extent that amounts on deposit represent cash balances in excess of amounts that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Restricted cash

The Company maintains a cash balance which totaled $40,000, $13,000 and $15,000 at September 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, which is restricted from withdrawal as it relates to employee contributions for a flexible spending medical plan.

In addition, the Company maintained a cash balance totaling $149,000 at December 31, 2004 in the form of a certificate of deposit which was restricted from withdrawal. The certificate of deposit served as collateral for a letter of credit issued by the bank to the Company's lessor as

F-8

a security deposit on the Company's operating lease and was included in restricted cash, at December 31, 2004. On April 21, 2005, the lessor released the Company from the deposit obligation and the letter of credit was cancelled.

Fair value of financial instruments

The reported amounts of certain of the Company's financial instruments, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

Certain risks and concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy. Deposits with financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of its cash and cash equivalents.

The Company's accounts receivable are derived from customers primarily located in the United States of America, Europe and Asia Pacific and are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition, generally does not require collateral and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectibility of accounts receivable.

Certain customers accounted for a significant percentage of the Company's total revenues as follows:

	Year ended December 31,					Nine months ended September 30,

	2003	2004		2005		2005		2006

F-9

The Company receives certain of its critical components from sole suppliers. Additionally, the Company relies on two primary vendors to provide contract manufacturing and assembly services for its products. The inability of these contract manufacturers to fulfill supply requirements of the Company could materially impact future operating results.

Inventory

Inventory includes finished goods, purchased components and spares inventories and is carried at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined on a first-in, first-out method. The Company records allowances to reduce the carrying value of inventories to their net realizable value when the Company believes that the net realizable value is less than cost. The Company also records allowances for excess and obsolete inventories based on forecasted demand.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally two to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while replacements, repairs and maintenance that do not extend the life of the asset are charged to operations.

Warranty accrual

The Company offers warranties on certain products and records a liability for the estimated future costs associated with warranty claims, which is based upon historical experience and the Company's estimate of the level of future costs. Warranty costs are reflected in the statement of operations as a cost of revenues and are recorded at the time that revenue is recognized. A reconciliation of the changes in the Company's warranty accrual follows:

	December 31,									September 30,

Revenue recognition

The Company derives the majority of its revenues from sales of servers and storage systems, with the remaining revenues generated primarily from service fees relating to the maintenance contracts on its products. The Company generally recognizes product revenues at the time of shipment, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss pass to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable and collection of the receivable is reasonably assured. In instances where the Company is required to obtain customer acceptance, revenues are deferred until the terms of acceptance are satisfied. Revenues from service obligations under maintenance contracts are deferred and recognized ratably over the contractual service period. Service maintenance contracts typically range from one to two years.

In connection with sales arrangements that involve multiple elements, such as hardware and maintenance contracts, the entire revenue is allocated to each respective element based on its relative fair value and recognized when the revenue recognition criteria for each element have been met. The Company uses the fair value method to recognize revenues when an arrangement includes one or more elements to be delivered at a future date and objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of all the undelivered elements exists. If objective and reliable evidence of fair value of one or more undelivered elements does not exist, revenue is deferred for all elements and recognized when delivery of those elements occurs or when fair value can be established.

For the sale of products that contain software that is more than incidental to the sale of the hardware, the Company recognizes revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. In instances where there are undelivered elements that did not have an established fair-value, revenue is deferred until fair-value is established or those elements have been delivered.

Shipping and handling

The Company classifies amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling as revenue. Costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling have been classified as cost of revenue.

Advertising costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The Company incurred $334,000, $194,000, $231,000, $174,000 and $106,000 of advertising expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 (unaudited) and 2005 (unaudited) and the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

F-11

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets are based on provisions of the enacted tax law; the effects of future change in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

Research and development costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. With respect to software that is embedded in the Company's servers and storage systems and the Company's related applications, software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are included in research and development and are expensed as incurred. After technological feasibility is established, material software development costs are capitalized. The capitalized cost is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated product life, or in the ratio of current revenues to total projected product revenues, whichever is greater. To date, the period between achieving technological feasibility, which the Company has defined as the establishment of a working model, which typically occurs when the beta testing commences, and the general availability of such software has been short and software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been insignificant. Accordingly, the Company has not capitalized any software development costs.

Net income (loss) per share data

Basic net income (loss) per share allocable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period as reduced by the weighted average unvested common shares subject to repurchase by the Company. Net income (loss) available to common stockholders is calculated using the two class method under EITF No. 03-6, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement 128 ("EITF Issue No. 03-6"), which established standards regarding the computation of earnings per share ("EPS") by companies that have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the company. EITF Issue No. 03-6 requires earnings for the period, after deduction of preferred stock dividends, to be allocated between the common and preferred stockholders based on their respective rights to receive dividends. Basic net income (loss) per share is then calculated by dividing income allocable to common stockholders (after the reduction for any undeclared, preferred stock dividends assuming current income for the period had been distributed) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, net of shares subject to repurchase by the Company,

F-12

during the period. EITF Issue No. 03-6 does not require the presentation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for securities other than common stock; therefore, the following net income (loss) per share amounts only pertain to the Company's common stock. The Company calculates diluted net income (loss) per share under the if-converted method unless the conversion of the preferred stock is anti-dilutive to basic net income (loss) per share. To the extent preferred stock is anti-dilutive, the Company calculates diluted net income (loss) per share under the two-class method.

Diluted net income (loss) per share allocable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period, if the effect of each class of potential common shares is dilutive. Potential common shares include common stock subject to repurchase rights and incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and upon conversion of preferred stock.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share allocable to common stockholders:

Stock-based compensation

For employee stock options granted prior to December 31, 2005, the Company recorded compensation expense based upon their intrinsic value on the date of grant pursuant to APB No. 25 and related interpretations, and has adopted the disclosure-only alternative of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS No. 123") and SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosures.

The Company grants options to purchase common stock to employees with exercise prices equal to the value of the underlying stock, as determined by the board of directors on the date the equity award was granted. The board of directors determined the value of the underlying stock by considering a number of factors, including historical and projected financial results, the risks the Company faced at the time, the preferences of the Company's preferred stockholders and the lack of liquidity of the Company's common stock.

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the Company's initial public offering and solely for the purposes of accounting for stock-based compensation for financial statement purposes, the Company's management, with the assistance of an independent valuation firm, reassessed the fair value of the Company's common stock for the equity awards granted on or after April 14, 2004 (which coincided with the Company's Series B-1 convertible preferred stock financing) through February 2006, the last grant date prior to a contemporaneous valuation by an independent valuation firm. Based upon this reassessment of the fair value of the Company's common stock, the Company recorded deferred stock-based compensation to the extent that the reassessed value of the Company's common stock at the date of the grant exceeded the exercise price of the equity awards. Reassessed values are inherently uncertain and highly subjective. The Company recorded deferred stock-based compensation of $1.9 million during 2006. For stock options granted prior to April 14, 2004, no expense was recorded as management determined that the estimated fair value of the Company's stock at the date of grant did not exceed the exercise price. Amortization of deferred stock-based compensation is based on a vesting period of generally four years. For stock options granted from April 2004 through February 2006, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to options granted to employees based on the reassessed values of the common stock underlying the stock option awards.

Of the deferred compensation of $1.9 million, the Company determined that $48,000 and $288,000 related to the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively, and concluded that such amounts were immaterial to its results of operations in each of 2004 and 2005. The Company evaluated the effect of recording the cumulative adjustment of $336,000 for the 2004 and 2005 expense on the estimated net income for the year ending December 31, 2006 as an out of period adjustment and concluded the amount was also immaterial. Accordingly, the Company recorded $683,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, which also included stock-based compensation of $116,000, $115,000 and $452,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

F-15

The expense associated with the amortization of deferred stock-based compensation related to options granted from April 14, 2004 to February 14, 2006 is classified in the Company's statements of operations as follows:

	Year ended December 31,						Nine months ended September 30,

Adoption of SFAS 123(R)

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS 123. SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values and does not allow the previously permitted pro forma disclosure-only method as an alternative to financial statement recognition. SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB No. 25, and related interpretations and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R). For equity awards granted to employees or modified subsequent to January 1, 2006, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on the grant date fair value of these awards as determined in accordance with FAS 123(R). The unrecognized compensation cost related to those awards will be recognized in the statement of operations over the requisite service period. As the Company is preparing to transition from a non-public entity to a public entity through an initial public offering and has historically used the minimum value method to measure its share-based payments for pro-forma footnote disclosure purposes only, the Company will apply the prospective method to awards granted through December 31, 2005. Except for the deferred stock-based compensation discussed

F-17

above, the Company had no unrecognized compensation cost related to awards granted prior to December 31, 2005. Pursuant to SFAS 123(R), as the Company utilized the minimum value method, the Company will continue to recognize compensation expense related to unvested awards with respect to stock option awards prior to January 1, 2006, using APB No. 25 which is the same accounting principle originally applied to those awards.

The Company's adoption of SFAS 123(R) in 2006 resulted in the recognition of additional stock-based compensation expense for grants after January 1, 2006 of $53,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Recording this stock-based compensation expense had no material impact on the Company's basic and diluted net income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

In connection with the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company reviewed and updated, among other things, its forfeiture rate, expected term and volatility assumptions. In determining the expected term of options, the Company gave consideration to historical exercises, the vesting term of the Company's options, the cancellation history of the Company's options and the options' contractual term of ten years. Estimated volatility for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 also reflects the application of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 ("SAB 107") interpretive guidance and, accordingly, incorporates historical volatility of similar entities whose share prices are publicly available. The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes method using the following assumptions:

	Nine months ended September 30, 2006

	(unaudited)

Expected life (in years)	6.0
Interest rate range	4.29% - 5.10	%
Volatility	60	%
Dividend yield	—	%
Forfeiture rate	3.35	%

As of September 30, 2006, there was $372,000 of unrecognized compensation related to stock options granted after January 1, 2006, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average service period of four years.

F-18

The pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share detailed below has been accounted for as if the Company had accounted for stock-based awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 under the fair value method prescribed in SFAS No. 123. The fair value of the Company's options to purchase common stock was estimated at the date of grant using the minimum value pricing model for 2003, 2004 and 2005.

The fair value of stock-based awards was estimated using the following assumptions for 2003, 2004, and 2005:

Year ended December 31,	2003		2004		2005


Expected life (in years)	5.0		5.0		6.0

The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share allocable to common stockholders as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based awards for fiscal 2003, 2004, and 2005:

Segment information

The Company engages in business activities in one operating segment, which provides servers, storage systems and related software applications for media companies. The Company's products and services are delivered primarily to customers in the U.S., Europe and Asia Pacific, with revenues denominated in U.S. dollars and primarily all long-lived assets are located in the U.S.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows that the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future net cash flows arising from the asset. There have been no such impairments as of September 30, 2006.

Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle

On June 29, 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 150-5, Issuer's Accounting under FASB Statement No. 150 for Freestanding Warrants and Other Similar Instruments on Shares That Are Redeemable ("FSP 150-5"). FSP 150-5 requires the Company to classify warrants to purchase shares of the Company's convertible preferred stock as liabilities since the convertible preferred stock is classified outside of stockholders' equity, and revalue them to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The Company adopted FSP 150-5 and accounted for the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle as of July 1, 2005, the beginning of the third quarter of 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the impact of the change in accounting principle was to decrease net income by $729,000. The impact consisted of a $572,000 cumulative effect adjustment for the change in accounting principle as of July 1, 2005, when the Company adopted FSP 150-5, reflecting the fair value of the warrants as of that date, and $157,000 of expense that was recorded in other income (expense), net to reflect the increase in fair value between July 1, 2005 and December 31, 2005.

These warrants will be subject to revaluation at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value will be recognized as a component of other income (expense), net, until the earlier of the exercise of the warrants or the completion of a liquidation event, including the automatic conversion of the convertible preferred stock and related warrants upon consummation of an initial public offering, at which time the warrants will be exercised on a net exercise basis and the warrant liability will be reclassified to common stock and additional paid-in capital in stockholders' equity.

F-20

Convertible preferred stock warrant liability

The Company accounts for warrants issued in connection with financing arrangements in accordance with FSP 150-5. Pursuant to FSP 150-5, an evaluation of specifically identified conditions is made to determine whether the fair value of warrants issued is required be classified as a liability. The fair value of warrants classified as liabilities is adjusted for changes in fair value at each reporting period, and the corresponding non-cash gain or loss is recorded in current period earnings.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of FIN 48 beginning in 2007. The Company is currently in the process of assessing what impact FIN 48 may have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108 regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 states that registrants should use both a balance sheet approach and an income statement approach when quantifying and evaluating materiality of a misstatement. The interpretations in SAB No. 108 contain guidance on correcting errors under the dual approach as well as provide transition guidance for correcting errors. This interpretation does not change the requirements within SFAS No. 154 for the correction of an error in financial statements. SAB No. 108 is effective for annual financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The Company will be required to adopt this interpretation in 2006.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS No. 157"). This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 in 2008 to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

Operating lease obligations

The Company leases office space under noncancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through November 2010. Some of these arrangements require the Company to pay taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Rent expense was $493,000, $416,000, $456,000, $392,000 and $341,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and the years ended

Indemnification agreements

Generally, the Company's contracts contain standard indemnification provisions. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, in connection with any patent, or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement or certain other claims by any third party with respect to its products. The term of these indemnification agreements is specified by the respective agreements. The maximum potential amount of future payments it could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is generally capped and the Company has never incurred claims or costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements and accordingly has made no provision for liability under these agreements.

Legal matters

From time to time, we may be subject to claims and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. While management currently believes that resolving all of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, management's view of these matters may change in the future due to inherent uncertainties.

Inventory commitments

The Company has outstanding purchase commitments with contract manufacturers and suppliers of $3.5 million as of December 31, 2005.

Management believes that, based on a number of factors, the deferred tax assets would not be utilized, such that a full valuation allowance was recorded at December 31, 2004 and 2005.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, to offset future taxable income. These carryforwards will expire in varying amounts between 2007 and 2024. The Company also had federal and state research credit carryforwards of approximately $844,000 and $623,000, respectively, to offset future taxable income. These federal credit carryforwards will expire commencing 2023. Under the Internal Revenue Code, the amounts of and benefits from net operating loss and credit carryforwards are limited in where there is a cumulative ownership change of more than 50%, as defined, over a three year period. The amounts of net operating loss and credit carryforwards presented above reflect such limitations.

5. Convertible Preferred Stock

In March and April 2004, the Company sold 5,121,952 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock at a price of $2.05 per share receiving net proceeds of $10.4 million.

In March and April 2004, the Company modified its 2,154,566 shares of Series A-2.1 and 687,742 shares of Series A-2.2 Preferred Stock to newly issued 512,901 shares of Series A-2.1 and one share of Series A-2.2 to create a one to one conversion rate to Common Stock. The modification did not have any impact on the order of liquidation preference or the absolute dollar value of liquidation preference.

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, designates and authorizes the Company to issue 17,526,882 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock").

The holders of Preferred Stock have various rights and preferences as follows:

Voting

Each share of Series A-1, Series A-2.1, Series A-2.2, Series A-3, Series A-4, Series A-5, Series A-6 and Series B-1 Preferred Stock (Series A-1, Series A-2.1, Series A-2.2, Series A-3, Series A-4, Series A-5, Series A-6, and Series B-1, respectively) has voting rights equal to an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock into which it is convertible and votes together as one class with the Common Stock, except as indicated below.

The holders of outstanding Preferred Stock have the right to elect members of the Company's Board of Directors on the following basis:

•: the outstanding Series B-1 Preferred Stock elect one director so long as at least 1,300,000 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock remain outstanding;
•: the outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Stock elect three directors so long as at least 2,850,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock remain outstanding;

F-26

•: the outstanding Common Stock elect one director; and
•: the outstanding Common Stock and Preferred Stock together elect the remaining directors.

Voting for members of the Company's Board of Directors is cumulative. In an election of directors, each stockholder is entitled to vote a number of shares equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock held by such stockholder, including Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock held by such stockholder, and (ii) the number of directors that such stockholder is entitled to elect, and may vote all of those shares for a single director or distribute them among the candidates.

As long as any shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company must obtain approval from a majority of all shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding in order to authorize, create or issue any other class of capital stock or securities convertible into capital stock having any preferences or privileges which are superior to or on parity with the Series B-1 Preferred Stock; reclassify any Common Stock into shares having any preference or priority superior to or on a parity with the Series B-1 Preferred Stock; pay or declare any dividend on or redeem any shares of Common Stock or Series A-2.1, Series A-2.2, Series A-3, Series A-4, Series A-5 or Series A-6 Preferred Stock (other than in connection with the repurchase of shares of Common Stock issued to or held by employees, consultants, officers and directors at a price not greater than the amount paid by such persons for such shares upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for the right of said repurchase, provided such repurchase is approved by the Board of Directors) or repay any loans made by any holder of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock except in connection with the termination of employment of such holder in amounts to be agreed upon by the Company and such terminated holder; amend the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company; enter into any Liquidation Event, defined as certain mergers, consolidations and sales of all or substantially all of the assets; or enter into any licensing of the Company's technology that would constitute a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Company must obtain approval from a majority of holders of Series A-1 and Series B-1 Preferred Stock voting together as a single class and not as a separate series, on as an converted to Common Stock basis in order to amend the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, or increase the size of the Company's Board of Directors above eight, or below five.

Dividends

The holders of Series B-1, Series A-1, Series A-2.2 and Series A-6 Preferred Stock, out of any funds legally available, are entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends at the rate of $0.205, $0.11, $75,652 and $0.11, respectively, per share per annum, as adjusted for stock splits, combinations and reorganizations, payable in preference and priority to any payment of any dividend on the other series of Preferred Stock or Common Stock, when and as declared by the Board of Directors. The Series A-2.1 Preferred Stockholders are entitled to receive dividends at

F-27

the rate of $0.462082 per share per annum, prior and in preference to the payment of any dividends on Series A-3, Series A-4 and Series A-5 Preferred Stock and Common Stock when and as declared by the Board of Directors, subject to the prior and preferential dividend rights of the holders of Series B-1, Series A-1, Series A-2.2 and Series A-6 Preferred Stock. Series A-3, Series A-4 and Series A-5 Preferred Stockholders are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of $34.00, $22.00 and $10.00, respectively, per share prior and in preference to the payment of dividends on the Common Stock when and as declared by the Board of Directors, subject to the prior and preferential dividend rights of the holders of Series B-1, Series A-1, Series A-2.1, Series A-2.2, and Series A-6 Preferred Stock. After payment of any dividends on Preferred Stock, any additional dividends shall be distributed among all holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock and all holders of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock which would be held by each such holder if all shares of each series of Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock, when and as declared by the Board of Directors. No dividends on Preferred Stock or Common Stock have been declared to date.

Liquidation

Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, including (1) a merger or acquisition of the Company in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such event own less than 50% of the Company's voting power immediately after such event, (2) the closing of a transfer by stockholders of the Company to a person or group of affiliated persons, which results in the transfer of 50% or more of the outstanding voting power of the Company, or (3) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the holders of Series B-1, Series A-1, Series A-2.2 and Series A-6 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to $4.10, $2.20, $1,513,032 and $1.10, respectively, as adjusted for stock splits, combinations and reorganizations, plus any declared but unpaid dividends prior and in preference to all other holders of Preferred Stock or Common Stock. If the assets and funds distributed among the holders of Series B-1, Series A-1, Series A-2.2 and Series A-6 Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full preferential amounts, then, the entire assets and funds of the Company shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series B-1, Series A-1, Series A-2.2 and Series A-6 Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.

After payment of the Series B-1, Series A-1, Series A-2.2 and Series A-6 preferential amounts, the holders of Series A-2.1 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to $4.62, as adjusted for stock splits, combinations and reorganizations, plus any declared but unpaid dividends prior to and in preference to holders of Series A-3, Series A-4, Series A-5 Preferred Stock or Common Stock. If the assets and funds distributed among the holders of Series A-2.1 Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full preferential amounts, then the entire remaining assets and funds of the Company shall be

F-28

distributed ratably among the holders of the Series A-2.1 Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.

After payment of the Series B-1, Series A-1, Series A-2.1, Series A-2.2 and Series A-6 preferential amounts, the holders of Series A-3, Series A-4, and Series A-5 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to $340.00, $220.00 and $100.00, respectively, as adjusted for stock splits, combinations and reorganizations, plus any declared but unpaid dividends prior and in preference to any distribution to the holders of Common Stock. Should the Company's legally available assets be insufficient to satisfy the liquidation preferences, then the entire remaining assets and funds will be distributed ratably among the holders of Series A-3, Series A-4 and Series A-5 Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive. The remaining assets and funds of the Company, if any, shall be distributed among the holders of Common Stock.

The following table shows the respective liquidation preferences per share of the Company's Preferred Stock:

Redemption

The Series A-1, Series A-2.1, Series A-2.2, Series A-3, Series A-4, Series A-5, Series A-6 and Series B-1 Preferred Stock are not redeemable, but do require the payment of liquidation preferences upon a Change in Control as noted above.

Conversion

Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the original purchase price by the conversion price in effect at the time of conversion for such series.

Each share of Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective conversion rate of such shares (i) in the event of the closing of a firm

F-29

commitment underwritten public offering to offer and sell the Common Stock of the Company to the public at a price per share of at least $4.10 and an aggregate offering price to the public of not less than $25.0 million or (ii) upon the election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock voting together as a single class on an as-converted to Common Stock basis; provided, however, if the election is conditioned upon or follows consummation of a Liquidation Event where the holders of Series A-2.2 Preferred Stock would receive distributions or consideration valued at $1.5 million absent conversion of Series A-2.2 Preferred Stock into Common Stock, the holders of a majority of Series A-2.2 must agree to the conversion of the Series A-2.2 and holders of all other series of Preferred Stock would vote together excluding the Series A-2.2 Preferred Stock.

Anti-dilution protection

Series B-1 Preferred Stock has anti-dilution protection. If the anti-dilution protection for the Series B-1 Preferred Stock is triggered, then each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock will be convertible into more than one share of Common Stock. The formula is based on the number of shares of the Company outstanding (on a fully-diluted basis) before the issuance, the number of new shares being issued, and the price being paid for the new shares.

Warrants

In December 2003, the Company granted a warrant to purchase 22,728 shares of its Series A-6 Preferred Stock to the Company's former law firm in payment for services rendered. These warrants have a five-year life and an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The fair value of the warrants was determined to be $1,288 and was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3%; contractual life of 5 years; dividend yield of 0%; and expected volatility of 65%. The Company expensed the value of the warrants to operating expenses during the year ending December 31, 2002.

In October 2002, the Company restructured its lease with its landlord and issued warrants to purchase 129,412 shares of its Series A-6 preferred stock to the Company's landlord in connection with that restructuring. These warrants have a five-year life and an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The fair value of the warrants was determined to be $7,351 using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3%, contractual life of 5 years, dividend yield of 0% and expected volatility of 65%. The amount was recorded in operating expenses during the year ending December 31, 2002.

In anticipation of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock financing, the Company entered into a bridge financing arrangement in September 2002, and pursuant to this arrangement, issued warrants to purchase 327,296 shares of Series A-6 Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per share. The fair value of the warrants was determined to be immaterial and was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3%; contractual life of 7 years; dividend yield of 0%; and expected volatility of 65%. The Company

F-30

expensed the value of the warrants to interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2002.

All Preferred Stock warrants remain unexercised at September 30, 2006.

The values ascribed to the warrants follow the guidance of FSP 150-5. The Company evaluated the impact of the Series A-6 Preferred Stock Agreement on the preferred stock and the warrants to purchase Preferred Stock and determined their effect based on FSP 150-5. In accordance with FSP 150-5, a transaction which includes a potential for net-cash settlement requires that derivative financial instruments, including warrants, initially be recorded at fair value as an asset or liability and subsequent changes in fair value be reflected in the statement of operations. As such, the fair values of the warrants were accounted for as liabilities, and subsequent changes in their fair value are reflected in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.

6. Common stock

The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation designates and authorizes the Company to issue 36,103,049 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.

Common stock option holders have the right to exercise unvested options, subject to a repurchase right held by the Company at the original exercise price, in the event of voluntary or involuntary termination of employment of the stockholder. As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, 337,217 and 111,801 shares of common stock were subject to repurchase, respectively. The cash paid to the Company in respect of these early exercises of unvested options is included as employee deposits within accrued liabilities, in accordance with EITF 00-23 Issues Relating to the Accounting for Stock Compensation under APB Opinion No. 25 and FASB Interpretation No. 44.

At September 30, 2006, the Company had reserved shares of common stock for future issuance as follows:



Convertible preferred stock		17,047,446
Warrants		479,505
Stock option plans—outstanding(1)		3,626,259

Common stock warrants

In 2000, the Company granted warrants to purchase 69 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $35.00 per share to a financial institution in conjunction with the increase in the maximum borrowing on its line of credit facility. The fair value of the warrants was

determined to be immaterial and was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3%; contractual life of 5 years; dividend yield of 0%; and expected volatility of 65%. The warrants are fully exercisable, and expire if unexercised on January 19, 2007. These warrants remain unexercised at September 30, 2006.

7. Stock plans

The Company adopted the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") under which employees, directors and consultants may be granted Incentive Stock Options ("ISOs") or Nonstatutory Stock Options ("NSO") to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. Stock purchase rights may also be granted under the Plan. The options generally vest 25% upon completion of one year of employment, with a minimum vesting period of four years. The term for new grants is ten years.

F-32

A summary of all option activity under the Plan was as follows:

The options outstanding as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 exclude 337,217 and 111,801 options shares, respectively, related to exercised unvested options, whose common stock is subject to repurchase upon exercise.

F-33

As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, options to purchase 3.2 million and 4.7 million shares, respectively, were vested. The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2006:

	Options outstanding				Options exercisable

Total	3,289,042	8.13	$	0.71	1,426,752	$	0.60

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the aggregate difference between the fair value of the Company's common stock on September 30, 2006 of $2.50 and the exercise price of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The total number of shares of common stock underlying in-the-money options exercisable as of September 30, 2006 was 1.4 million with an aggregate intrinsic value of $3.2 million.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $4.2 million. Total cash received from employees as a result of employee stock option exercises during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $242,000.

As of September 30, 2006, there was $372,000, net of forfeitures, of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years. The Company's current practice is to issue new shares to settle share option exercises.

At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, 3.5 million and 2.7 million of the outstanding options have vested, respectively. The weighted-average estimated per share fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005 were $1.93 and $0.64, respectively.

8. Employee benefit plans

The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering all eligible employees. Contributions made by the Company are discretionary and determined annually by the Board of Directors. There have been no employer contributions under this plan.

9. Segment information

The Company's operations are located primarily in the United States, and substantially all of its assets are located in Sunnyvale, California. The Company operates in one segment. The Company's chief operating decision-maker reviews its operating results on an aggregate basis and manages its operations as a single operating segment. Revenues are derived from different geographies in the following manner:

	Year ended December 31,						Nine months ended September 30,

	2003		2004		2005		2005		2006
(in thousands)							(unaudited)

Domestic	$	6,219	$	12,114	$	20,943	$	14,502	$	22,279
International		6,215		19,314		33,169		21,826		37,992

Total	$	12,434	$	31,428	$	54,112	$	36,328	$	60,271

The Company has offices in six countries, and its products have been distributed to customers in over 45 countries. The Company has historically generated a substantial amount of its revenues from international sales, which have grown to represent an increasingly larger percentage of the Company's total revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and for 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company's revenues outside the United States of America comprised 74%, 61%, 50% and 61%, respectively, of its total revenues.

10. Related party transaction

On September 24, 1998, the Company entered into a loan agreement with an officer and member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Officer") that allowed for the borrowings by the Officer. The loan agreement was amended on April 1, 2003 and lowered the maximum available principal amount from $480,000 to the amount already paid out, $180,000. The full recourse loan was secured by the Officer's Common Stock held in the Company and was forgiven over time charging expense for $35,000, $60,000 and $85,000 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. As of October 31, 2005, the loan was fully forgiven. Interest was set annually and compounded quarterly at a rate equal to the Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the 2^nd of January, which was 4% during 2005. Interest receivable of $1,000 is included in other receivable at December 31, 2005, and was repaid to the Company by the Officer in March 2006.

From September 2005 through September 2006, the Company recorded approximately $7.7 million in revenues from sales of its products to Ascent Media Group. Since September 2005, the spouse of the Company's chief technology officer, has served as the chief operating officer of Ascent Media Network Services, a subsidiary of Ascent Media Group. Sales to Ascent Media Group totaled $6.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and $749,000 during the four months ended December 31, 2005. Accounts receivable from Ascent Media Group included $214,000 and $3.7 million at December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006, respectively.

Item 14. Indemnification of directors and officers.

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. The terms of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal liability of a director for monetary damages resulting from breach of his fiduciary duty as a director.

As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's bylaws provide that:

•: the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to certain very limited exceptions;
•: the Registrant may indemnify its other employees and agents as provided in indemnification contracts entered into between the Registrant and its our employees and agents;

II-1

•: the Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to certain very limited exceptions; and
•: the rights conferred in the bylaws are not exclusive.

In addition, the Registrant will enter into indemnity agreements with each of its current directors and officers prior to the completion of this offering. These agreements will provide for the indemnification of directors and officers for all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action or proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were agents of the Registrant.

The Registrant currently carries liability insurance for its directors and officers.

The Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.01 to this Registration Statement provides for indemnification by the underwriters of the Registrant and its directors and officers for certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or otherwise.

Item 15. Recent sales of unregistered securities.

Since January 2003, the Registrant has issued and sold the following securities:

1.: Since January 1, 2003 to December 15, 2006, the Registrant has issued options to employees, consultants and directors to purchase an aggregate of 4,965,060 shares of the Registrant's common stock under its 1998 stock option plan at a weighted average exercise price of $0.97 per share.
2.: Since January 1, 2003 to December 15, 2006, the Registrant has issued 2,468,994 shares of its common stock to its employees, directors, consultants and other service providers upon exercise of options granted by the Registrant under its 1998 stock option plan, with exercise prices ranging from $0.10 to $10.00 per share.
3.: In March 2004, the Registrant modified its 2,154,566 shares of Series A-2.1 preferred stock and 687,742 shares of Series A-2.2 preferred stock to newly issued 512,901 shares of Series A-2.1 preferred stock and one share of A-2.2 preferred stock to create a 1-to-1 conversion rate to common stock.
4.: In March and April 2004, the Registrant sold an aggregate of 5,121,952 shares of its Series B-1 preferred stock to private investors at a purchase price of $2.05 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10.5 million.

Unless otherwise stated, the sales of the above securities were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, or Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering or pursuant to benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701. The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed upon the share certificates issued in these transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to information about Registrant.

(a): Financial Statement Schedules.

All schedules have been omitted because they are either inapplicable or the required information has been given in the consolidated financial statements or the notes thereto.

Item 17. Undertakings.

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, if the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the Registration Statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by referenced into the Registration Statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the Registration Statement or prospectus that was part of the Registration Statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the

II-4

following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 14 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or Rule 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II-5

Signatures

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Sunnyvale, State of California, on the 29th day of December, 2006.
