ViewCast Modifies Name to More Accurately Reflect Business

Updated corporate graphics to accompany change in name

DALLAS (Feb. 28, 2001) �ViewCast.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: VCST), a leading provider of Internet and networked video solutions, announced today that the company has filed a DBA to allow it to do business as ViewCast Corporation. The new name more accurately reflects the company�s expanded business strategies. In addition, the company has updated its corporate logo to reflect the newly modified name.

�During the past several months, we have been refining and redefining what we do, and the �dot-com� name simply doesn�t fit our current business model,� said ViewCast President and Chief Executive Officer George Platt. �Certainly the Internet is an integral part of our business particularly for our streaming products, but ViewCast is not strictly an e-commerce venture.� We provide video distribution products and services, for deployment of media over all types of networks.�

�The ViewCast that exists today surpasses the ViewCast that was here when I was named president and chief executive officer a little more than a year ago,� said Platt. �We have built upon our foundation expertise and introduced new focused business initiatives. Today�s ViewCast offers a diversity of products and services that take advantage of our superior technology and knowledge of the video networking and streaming media industries.�

�Like our business, our new corporate logo has been streamlined and given greater focus, to better reflect the ViewCast of 2001,� said Brian Dean, ViewCast vice-president of marketing. �The basic design remains, but it�s been given a cleaner, updated look. Over the coming days and weeks, this new design will permeate throughout the ViewCast corporate image and include a redesign of our ViewCast web site.� (http://www.viewcast.com)
