DALLAS (Oct. 25, 2000) � Viewcast, Inc. (NASDAQ: VCST), a leading provider of Internet and networked video solutions, will showcase its streaming media technology with RealSystem 8 on Oct. 25-27 at Fall Internet World at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City. 

Viewcast will demonstrate the high-quality video capture capabilities of its Osprey-200 capture cards with RealSystem 8 including RealVideo 8 and RealAudio 8 enhancements in the Real Networks Partner Pavilion, Booth # 1621, Section # 28. RealVideo 8 employs breakthrough encoding techniques that enable consumers to view high-quality, full-motion video using dial-up modems, half-screen VHS-quality at mainstream broadband rates, and near DVD-quality video for those using high-capacity networks. RealAudio 8 also provides improved audio capability with minimal file size. Viewcast Osprey Video capture cards are widely recognized as the streaming industry�s de facto standard for video capture cards and codecs for streaming video. 

�Viewcast has enjoyed a longstanding and productive partnership with RealNetworks,� said Neal Page, vice president and general manager of Viewcast�s Osprey Technologies Division. �The Osprey-200 combined with RealSystem 8 provides an outstanding solution for customers to create high-quality video and audio for streaming media. The Osprey-200 is unique in that multiple cards can be used simultaneously in a single system. With the functionality of Osprey-200 and quality enhancements from RealSystem 8, our customers can realize the best of both from the leaders in networked video communications.�

The Osprey-200 capture card expands on the capabilities of the Osprey-100, one of the most widely used capture cards in the relatively short history of streaming media. It expands on the Osprey-100 by adding audio capture and providing an even more scalable streaming and capture solution. The Osprey-200 also features advanced DMA for ultra-high performance (full 30fps); Direct Draw for 30 frames per second overlays to video screen with minimal CPU utilization; and closed caption capabilities. 

In addition, RealNetworks will hold drawings for free Osprey streaming capture cards for content providers during the show.
