DALLAS (Nov. 14, 2000) � Viewcast, Inc. (NASDAQ: VCST), a leading provider of Internet and networked video solutions, announced today it is providing EDS with Osprey streaming capture technology for use in the EDS\COMDEX Metropolitan Area Network, Nov. 13-17 in Las Vegas. EDS is designing, building and managing the first Metropolitan Area Network in Comdex history.

The high-speed fiber-optic network links the Comdex show and its five Las Vegas venues. The network also provides fully scalable and redundant bandwidth up to 320 Gbps via a fiber network between venues and � simulating the last mile � copper to the booths.

Viewcast is providing Osprey-200 streaming capture boards for the EDS\COMDEX Metropolitan Area Network. The Osprey capture boards are being used to provide streaming throughout the multiple venues, including integration into the media lounge areas, live streaming from cameras in the two Network Operating Centers at the Sands Exposition Center and Las Vegas Convention Center, and from rack-mounted encoding stations on the show floor. Both static and live encoding are being employed using the Osprey-200 capture boards. 

The goal of EDS and the EDS\COMDEX Metropolitan Area Network is to make it easier for the press and media at Comdex to experience all that Comdex has to offer via the two media lounges that we are hosting. It is a perfect place to showcase state-of-the-art high speed networks and the possibilities and applications for streaming media technology,� said Mark Nelson, Enterprise Consultant, EDS.

We�re always flattered when technology leaders like EDS turn to Viewcast for their streaming needs. Our Osprey capture products have become the defacto standard for streaming capture and we are happy that EDS asked us to be part of this historic EDS\COMDEX Metropolitan Area Network,� said George Platt, Viewcast president and CEO. �As journalists watch the live stream of the sights and sounds of Comdex from the EDS sponsored media lounges, we hope that they�ll take note that there�s a Viewcast Osprey capture card driving the engine that�s delivering the stream.

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. The Osprey-200 features video and audio capture and provides a highly 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. Additionally, multiple Osprey-200 boards can be hosted within a single PC enabling multi-channel capture and encoding possibilities.
