         1. Issuance; Certain Definitions. In consideration of good and valuable
consideration,   the   receipt  of  which  is  hereby   acknowledged   by  FOCUS
ENHANCEMENTS,  INC., a Delaware  corporation (the  "Company"),  *, or registered
assigns (the "Holder") is hereby granted the right to purchase at any time until
5:00 P.M., New York City time, on January 11, 2006 (the  "Expiration  Date"),  *
fully paid and  nonassessable  shares of the Company's  Common Stock,  $0.01 par
value per share (the "Common  Stock"),  at an initial  exercise  price per share
(the "Exercise Price") of $1.36 per share,  subject to further adjustment as set
forth herein. This Warrant is being issued pursuant to the terms of that certain
Common Stock and Warrant Purchase  Agreement,  dated as of January 11, 2002 (the
"Agreement"),  to which the  Company  and Holder  (or  Holder's  predecessor  in
interest) are parties. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

         2. Exercise of Warrants.

                  (a) This  Warrant  is  exercisable  in whole or in part at any
time and from time to time.  Such exercise shall be effectuated by submitting to
the Company  (either by delivery to the Company or by facsimile  transmission as
provided in Section 8 hereof) a completed and duly  executed  Notice of Exercise
(substantially  in the  form  attached  to this  Warrant)  as  provided  in this
paragraph. The date such Notice of Exercise is faxed to the Company shall be the
"Exercise  Date,"  provided that the Holder of this Warrant tenders this Warrant
Certificate to the Company within five (5) business days thereafter.  The Notice
of Exercise  shall be executed by the Holder of this Warrant and shall  indicate
the number of shares  then  being  purchased  pursuant  to such  exercise.  Upon
surrender of this Warrant Certificate,  together with appropriate payment of the
Exercise  Price for the shares of Common  Stock  purchased,  the Holder shall be
entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock
so purchased.

                  (b) The  Exercise  Price  per  share of  Common  Stock for the
shares then being exercised shall be payable in cash or by certified or official
bank check.

<PAGE>


                  (c) In no event shall Holder  exercise  Warrants for less than
one thousand  (1,000) Warrant  Shares.  In the event the Holder has Warrants for
less than one  thousand  (1,000)  Warrant  Shares,  Holder  shall be required to
exercise Warrants for all remaining Warrant Shares on the Exercise Date.

                  (d) The Holder  shall be deemed to be the holder of the shares
issuable  to it in  accordance  with the  provisions  of this  Section  2 on the
Exercise Date.

         3.  Reservation of Shares.  The Company hereby agrees that at all times
during the term of this  Warrant  there  shall be  reserved  for  issuance  upon
exercise of this  Warrant  such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be
required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant (the "Warrant Shares").

         4.  Mutilation  or Loss of  Warrant.  Upon  receipt  by the  Company of
evidence  satisfactory  to it of the loss,  theft,  destruction or mutilation of
this  Warrant,  and (in the  case of  loss,  theft or  destruction)  receipt  of
reasonably  satisfactory  indemnification,  and (in the case of mutilation) upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver
a new  Warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost,  stolen,  destroyed  or
mutilated Warrant shall thereupon become void.

         5. Rights of the Holder.  The Holder  shall not, by virtue  hereof,  be
entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or equity,
and the rights of the Holder are limited to those  expressed in this Warrant and
are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

         6. Protection Against Dilution and Other Adjustments.

                  6.1  Adjustment  Mechanism.  If an  adjustment of the Exercise
Price is required  pursuant to this  Section 6, the Holder  shall be entitled to
purchase such number of additional  shares of Common Stock as will cause (i) the
total number of shares of Common  Stock Holder is entitled to purchase  pursuant
to this Warrant,  multiplied by (ii) the adjusted  Exercise Price per share,  to
equal  (iii) the  dollar  amount of the total  number of shares of Common  Stock
Holder  is  entitled  to  purchase  before  adjustment  multiplied  by the total
Exercise Price immediately before adjustment.

                  6.2 Capital Adjustments. In case of any stock split or reverse
stock   split,   stock   dividend,   reclassification   of  the  Common   Stock,
recapitalization,  merger or consolidation, or like capital adjustment affecting
the Common  Stock of the Company  prior to the  exercise of this  Warrant or its
applicable portion, the provisions of this Section 6 shall be applied as if such
capital adjustment event had occurred  immediately prior to the exercise date of
this Warrant and the original  Exercise  Price had been fairly  allocated to the
stock  resulting  from  such  capital  adjustment;  and in  other  respects  the
provisions of this Section shall be applied in a fair,  equitable and reasonable
manner so as to give effect, as nearly as may be, to the purposes hereof.

                  6.3 Spin Off.  If, for any  reason,  prior to the  exercise of
this Warrant in full,  the Company  spins off or otherwise  divests  itself of a
part of its business or operations or disposes

                                       2
<PAGE>

all or of a part of its assets in a  transaction  (the "Spin  Off") in which the
Company does not receive  compensation for such business,  operations or assets,
but causes  securities of another entity to be issued to security holders of the
Company,  then the  Company  shall  notify the Holder at least  thirty (30) days
prior to the record date with respect to such Spin-Off.

         7. Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act; Registration Rights.

                  7.1 Transfer.  This Warrant has not been registered  under the
Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended,  (the  "Act") and has been  issued to the
Holder  for  investment  and not with a view to the  distribution  of either the
Warrant or the  Warrant  Shares.  Neither  this  Warrant  nor any of the Warrant
Shares or any other  security  issued or issuable  upon exercise of this Warrant
may be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of an effective
registration  statement under the Act relating to such security or an opinion of
counsel  satisfactory to the Company that registration is not required under the
Act. Each certificate for the Warrant, the Warrant Shares and any other security
issued or issuable  upon  exercise of this Warrant shall contain a legend on the
face  thereof,  in form and substance  satisfactory  to counsel for the Company,
setting forth the restrictions on transfer contained in this Section.

                  7.2 Registration Rights. Reference is made to the Registration
Rights  Agreement.  The  Company's  obligations  under the  Registration  Rights
Agreement and the other terms and conditions thereof with respect to the Warrant
Shares,  including,  but not necessarily limited to, the Company's commitment to
file a  registration  statement  including  the  Warrant  Shares,  to  have  the
registration of the Warrant Shares completed and effective, and to maintain such
registration, are incorporated herein by reference.

                           (b) In addition to the  registration  rights referred
to in the preceding provisions of Section 7.2(a), effective after the expiration
of the  effectiveness  of the  Registration  Statement  as  contemplated  by the
Registration  Rights  Agreement,  the Holder shall have piggy-back  registration
rights  with  respect  to the  Warrant  Shares  then held by the  Holder or then
subject to issuance upon exercise of this Warrant (collectively,  the "Remaining
Warrant  Shares"),  subject to the conditions  set forth below.  If, at any time
after the  Registration  Statement  has  ceased  to be  effective,  the  Company
participates  (whether  voluntarily  or by  reason of an  obligation  to a third
party) in the  registration  of any shares of the Company's  stock (other than a
registration  on Form S-8 or on Form S-4), the Company shall give written notice
thereof to the Holder and the Holder  shall have the right,  exercisable  within
ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice,  to demand inclusion of all
or a portion  of the  Holder's  Remaining  Warrant  Shares in such  registration
statement.  If the Holder exercises such election,  the Remaining Warrant Shares
so  designated  shall be included in the  registration  statement  at no cost or
expense to the Holder (other than any costs or commissions  which would be borne
by the Holder under the terms of the Registration  Rights Agreement);  provided,
however,  that if there is a  managing  underwriter  of the  offering  of shares
referred to in the registration  statement and such managing underwriter advises
the Company in writing that the number of shares  proposed to be included in the
offering will have an adverse effect on its ability to successfully conclude the
offering  and, as a result,  the number of shares to be included in the offering
is to be reduced,  the number of  Remaining  Warrant  Shares of the Holder which
were to be included in the registration  (before

                                       3
<PAGE>

such  reduction) will be reduced pro rata with the number of shares included for
all other parties whose shares are being  registered.  The Holder's rights under
this  Section  7 shall  expire at such  time as the  Holder  can sell all of the
Remaining Warrant Shares under Rule 144 without volume or other  restrictions or
limit.

         8.  Notices.  Any notice or other  communication  required or permitted
hereunder  shall be in writing and shall be delivered  personally,  telegraphed,
sent by facsimile transmission or sent by certified, registered or express mail,
postage  pre-paid.  Any such  notice  shall be deemed  given  when so  delivered
