When UPN officially announced Enterprise last month, the network's upfront presentation included a three minute promo for the series, featuring the first look at the sets for the new show.

Now, courtesy of Media Trek this presentation has made its way to the Internet. The clip includes commentary from Rick Berman (Executive Producer), Marvin Rush (Director of Photography) and Herman Zimmerman (Production Designer).
