DALLAS (Sept. 25, 2000) � ViewCast.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: VCST), a leading provider of Internet and networked video solutions, today announced the debut of its new Osprey Video Web site (www.ospreyvideo.com).  

"The Osprey Video Web site has been created as a dedicated forum for ViewCast.com�s Osprey video capture boards, the de facto standard streaming video capture,� said Brian Dean, ViewCast.com vice president of marketing. �The Osprey Video Web site is in its initial launch phase and we plan on adding other new and exciting sections to the site in the coming weeks and months.� 

�The Osprey Video Web site is designed to be a dynamic site that will allow us to interact with our strategic partners and third-party developers for Osprey products,� Dean said. �We will utilize the Osprey Video Web site to promote third-party solutions built around Osprey capture products, as well as highlighting interesting third-party Web sites using Osprey boards for Internet video creation and live webcasts. Other plans for the Osprey Video Web site include the addition of white papers on streaming media topics and other resources that tap into our corporate knowledge of the streaming industry and where it�s headed.�  

�With the explosive growth of streaming media and the recent launch of the new Osprey-500 professional digital video capture card for Windows Media encoding, we wanted to make sure we were taking advantage of every possible means of getting the information, software, datasheets and manuals to interested customers and prospects. The new Osprey Video Web site gives us the forum in which to focus on these Osprey product specific needs,� Dean added. 

The latest addition to the Osprey suite of video streaming products is the new Osprey-500 family of professional video capture products. The Osprey-500 family has been designed specifically for the capture of broadcast-quality digital audio and video. The Osprey-500 product line, developed by ViewCast.com�s Osprey Technologies Division, has been optimized exclusively to support the Microsoft Windows Media Format and was developed in cooperation with Microsoft�s Digital Media Division. These products are now available for shipment globally and are fully FCC and CE Mark certified as well as NTSC and PAL compliant. The Osprey-500 is the first capture card to be tightly integrated with the new Windows Media Technologies 7 Encoder and Format for audio and video streaming. 

Technical information and operating manuals on the Osprey-500, as well as the rest of the ViewCast.com Osprey Video line � the Osprey-100, Osprey-200, and Osprey-1000 G2, is available on the Osprey Video Web site.
