June 18, 2013 – Technology and Communications Industry Veteran David Brandenburg Named CEO at ViewCast
John Hammock to Head up New Revenue Generation Initiatives, Manage Strategic Global Accounts

PLANO, Texas, June 18, 2013- ViewCast (OTCBB: VCST) , a developer of industry-leading solutions that enable companies to capture and deliver video to broadband and mobile networks, announced today that David Brandenburg has been named Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Brandenburg, 68, was named Chairman at ViewCast in April 2013 and has been both an investor and board member at the Company since 2008.

Former President and CEO John Hammock has been asked by the Board to head up the Company’s new global accounts initiatives as it explores new customers and markets for its media streaming products. Hammock was Vice President of Sales in 2010 when the Company last showed sustained growth and quarterly profitability.

Brandenburg commented, “In the past couple of years, the Company has make a good deal of progress in terms of resizing the operation and updating its product line in a capital constrained environment. John Hammock, together with the Board, determined that we need to now focus more resources and energy on new ways to generate revenue and drive organizational growth. Since John had solid success in driving improved revenue in his tenure as VP of Sales, he and the Board both felt that he could best contribute to shareholder value as Manager of Global Strategic Accounts, a leadership role that could immediately impact revenue, allowing me to take the CEO reins and drive the product and operational initiatives.”

Brandenburg is a former Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, and former Chief Executive Officer and President of Intervoice, a publicly held company acquired by Convergys in the fall of 2008. Intervoice developed and delivered enhanced services platforms to cellular service providers that enabled it to provide voice, text and video messaging and other enhanced services to its customers. Brandenburg first joined Intervoice in 1990 as Chief Operating Officer after having served as a director since 1989. He was promoted to President of Intervoice in 1991 where he served until December 1994 when he relinquished his position of President and assumed the position of Vice Chairman of the Board until May 1995. He intermittently served on the Intervoice Board, including as Chairman until the company was acquired by Convergys in September 2008. Brandenburg also served as President and Chief Executive Officer of AnswerSoft, Inc. a global provider of call center software automation solutions from November 1997 to May 1998, at which time it completed a merger with Davox Corporation. Davox subsequently changed its name to Concerto Software, Inc. and, following a merger with Aspect Communications Corp., is now part of Aspect Software, Inc., a privately-held company.

Brandenburg’s current principal occupation is serving as a private, self-employed investor and philanthropist. He is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Brandenburg Life Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation which he founded with his wife in 1996. Brandenburg received a BSEE from the University of Michigan and a MSEE from Southern Methodist University.

“I look forward to working with John, the rest of the board and the fine ViewCast team to generate positive change and to maximize shareholder value going forward,” continued Brandenburg. “My immediate goals will be to help ViewCast increase top line revenue and margins and to get the Company on more solid footing in the second half of the year.”

May 15, 2013 – ViewCast Reports 2013 First Quarter Results
Direct Investment of $550,000 Made by Current ViewCast Investor; Q1 Expenses in Check - OPEX Cut by Approximately 20%

PLANO, Texas, May 15, 2013– ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the capture and streaming of video over enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

The Company reported net sales of $2.4 million in the first quarter 2013 compared to $3.4 million in the prior year period. On-going operational expense controls remained in place during the quarter, as the loss was similar to the year-earlier period despite the lighter revenue levels.

Chief Executive Officer John Hammock said, “Like many capital equipment companies, we started the year slowly, which we attribute to typical seasonality and the absence of orders from our former primary OEM customer who placed a very large order in the 2012 first quarter. But we are enthusiastic about the second half of the year, when our new products have had time to gain traction and the results of our strategic sales initiatives have taken hold. We are seeing important market acceptance of our popular Osprey® product lines, which we have enhanced with several new technological advances. In the past 12 months, we have also released six new products in our Niagara® appliance product line, which we expect to generate growth as the year progresses. Our goal is to build momentum throughout 2013 and finish the year with a strong second half.”

First Quarter 2013 Operational Highlights

  • Named David Brandenberg, a ViewCast investor and former chairman, CEO and President of Intervoice, Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Brandenberg has been on the ViewCast Board since 2008 and will take a more active role in complementing the management team efforts going forward.
  • Launched the Osprey 825e video capture card, a high-definition card for inputting up to 3G HD-SDI signals. The PCI Express® card is compatible with small form-factor computers and, at half height, can fit anywhere.
  • Launched the Osprey 100e video capture card, a single-channel card optimized with PCI Express technology with significantly higher transfer speeds and low latency.
  • Unveiled the Osprey 210e at NAB 2013 in April. With Microsoft DirectShow interface, on-board analog stereo audio inputs and high reliability, the Osprey 210e is designed for a wide variety of end users and systems integrators.
  • Operational expenses were cut by approximately 20 percent from 2012 first quarter.

In addition, the Company announced that a longtime investor in ViewCast has made a direct investment of $550,000 in the Company. On May 6, 2013, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement effective April 30, 2013 with the Ardinger Family Partnership, Ltd. for $550,000, with certain mutually agreed upon covenants and prepayment requirements. “We believe this investment signals confidence in the strategic direction we are going, and in the intrinsic value of our technology and product development,” Hammock added.

First Quarter Financial Results

In the 2013 first quarter, revenues were $2.4 million compared to $3.4 million in the prior year period. Operating expenses for the first quarter 2013 were $1.9 million compared to $2.4 million for the prior year period. Operating loss for the first quarter 2013 was $(397,000) compared to operating loss of $(275,000) for the year-earlier period.

Net loss for the first quarter 2013 was $(458,000), or $(0.01) per fully diluted share, compared to net loss of $(405,000), or $(0.01) per fully diluted share, in the first quarter 2012.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the 2013 first quarter was $(320,000), compared to $(240,000) in the 2012 first quarter. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that ViewCast management believes can be helpful in assessing the Company’s overall performance and considered as an indicator of operating efficiency and earnings quality. The Company suggests that EBITDA be viewed in conjunction with the Company’s reported financial results or other financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company reported profitable results on net sales of $3.1 million in the fourth quarter 2012 compared to $3.4 million in the prior year period and up sequentially from the $2.7 million in the 2012 third quarter. On-going operational expense controls and strong sales of the Company’s Osprey® Video cards at year end enabled ViewCast to report its first profitable quarter since 2010.

ViewCast Chief Executive Officer John Hammock said: “Since the new management team took over in 2011, we have been successful in reducing operating costs, resulting in net income improvement that turned positive in the fourth quarter. We also had a very good quarter in terms of Osprey video capture card sales, a product family that is recognized as an industry leader with a loyal customer base. On our appliance side, some of our older, legacy products have lost ground, but our new products, such as our Niagara® 9100 products that we’ve introduced throughout 2012, are now gaining traction and we expect further growth this year in this product line as well as Osprey.“

Hammock continued: “As is typical for the telecom and Internet equipment segment, we are seeing our normal seasonality, where sales start slowly and pick up as the year progresses. We expect to continue to keep costs under control, work to increase our margins, introduce new Osprey and Niagara products throughout the year, and build to a very strong close for 2013. As our Niagara products and our Osprey cards build traction throughout the year, we remain optimistic about achieving profitability.“

2012 Operational Highlights

February 12, 2013 – ViewCast and Swagit Enable Live Video Streams of Mardi Gras Parades
Niagara Streaming System and Osprey Capture Cards Used with EASE Bring Parade Excitement to Viewers Online

PLANO, Texas, February 12, 2013 – The ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST) announced today it is partnering with Swagit, the pioneer of Hands-Free Video Streaming® solutions for government, to enable live video streams of the carnival parades this week in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana - New Orleans’ closest neighbor. Millions of parade fans from across the globe can watch live coverage of the fun and festivities online at www.jeffparish.net from their personal computer or mobile device. It all culminates on Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, February 12, when an estimated 1 million will gather along the parade route to watch the parades and the Jefferson Parish public information office production team will capture it live.

To make such events available live via the web, Swagit uses a multitude of ViewCast products, including the Niagara® series product line as well as Osprey® capture cards within their EASE™ module, a hands-free tool that gives their clients the option to outsource any video indexing or time-stamping needs.

Jefferson Parish will use EASE™ to broadcast several live events from the Mardi Gras celebrations. Instead of relying on TV camera rigs to capture the action, Jefferson Parish is stepping outside the lines of traditional broadcasting by streaming the parades live from multiple locations using 4G technology. This approach frees up camera operators to move freely up and down Veterans Boulevard at ground level and tape and record all the live action. Generally, a camera crew or reporter must be in a fixed location in order to broadcast a live feed. The ability to stream live from multiple locations as the Jefferson Parish public information office will do changes the game for government access television.

“Not only do ViewCast products have the features and reliability we need for live video streaming and the flexibility that fits with our service, but they also help open doors to totally new viewing opportunities,“ said David Owusu, Vice President of Swagit. “Entertainment fans no longer need to rely on watching TV to see live coverage of big events like Mardi Gras. They can view those events online when on the go from wherever they are located.“

“By teaming up with Swagit, ViewCast is helping change the way people enjoy online entertainment,“ said John Hammock, President and CEO of ViewCast, a developer of industry-leading solutions that help companies deliver video to broadband and mobile networks. “By incorporating ViewCast hardware and software into their EASE solution, Swagit can shoot and stream live video to the web and mobile devices, giving viewers more dynamic and powerful viewing experiences.“

PLANO, Texas, January 16, 2013 – The ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST) today announced the availability of the Osprey® 825e video capture card, the latest high-definition (HD) card in the award-winning Osprey line.

The Osprey 825e, like the Osprey 845e, suits a wide range of applications in broadcasting, enterprise, education, government and global OEM systems integration.

PLANO, Texas, January 9, 2013 – Capturing video-only camera feeds simply and cost-effectively is made possible with the Osprey® 100e from ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions that help companies deliver video to broadband and mobile networks.

Built with PCIe Standard for High Quality
For significantly higher transfer speeds and low latency, ViewCast designed the Osprey 100e with the PCIe bus standard. The format of the Osprey 100e not only enhances video capture, but also eases incorporation with newer computers. With PCIe x1 connectivity, the Osprey 100e fits all PCIe slots. The Osprey 100e stands out as one of the few professional-quality PCIe capture boards offered at an affordable price.

“For video-only capture from a standard analog source, the Osprey 100 is a longtime favorite of our budget-conscious customers,“ said John Hammock, President and CEO of ViewCast. “The introduction of the Osprey 100e model allows our security, enterprise, government and OEM systems integrator customers a smooth transition to new computer architectures with the same ViewCast reliability they’re accustomed to.“

High-Density Niagara 9100-4D Streaming Media System
To expand on the success of the first digital encoder unit in the Niagara 9100 series, the Niagara 9100-2D, ViewCast developed a new digital unit to deliver up to four simultaneous streams. With four HD SDI inputs in a 1RU system, the Niagara 9100-4D boasts the most effective per channel price in the industry. The highly efficient unit lives up to ViewCast’s signature quality standards for enhanced performance.

November 14, 2012 – ViewCast Reports 2012 Third Quarter, Nine-Month Results
New Product Launches Provide Momentum into Fourth Quarter

PLANO, Texas, November 14, 2012– ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the capture and streaming of video over enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, today reported results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

The Company reported net sales of $2.7 million in the third quarter 2012 compared to $3.3 million in the prior year period. In the third quarter 2012, the Company saw increased pipeline activity for Osprey® Video cards and Niagara® systems, however sales in the quarter were down slightly in each category compared to the 2012 second quarter. An unanticipated influx of sales orders at the end of the third quarter resulted in a backlog, which if filled, would have increased sales slightly in each product category compared to the second quarter.

ViewCast Chief Executive Officer John Hammock said, “There’s no question that our new technology and new products, particularly our new Osprey 800 series cards, have provided us momentum going into the fourth quarter and on into 2013. For instance, we have a new two-port high definition (HD) card that provides two channels of HD. Our new 845e card gives four ports for standard definition, and it can be upgraded to HD in the field. That’s unique in the industry and we’re very excited about it and how that demonstrates our leadership in the digital media marketplace.“

Hammock continued: “Overall, we believe we have restarted and reenergized ViewCast in variety of ways, and our number one priority is to stabilize the Company and make it profitable. Ultimately, our strategy is to grow by continuing to enhance our product offerings in order to continue expanding into larger, more dynamic markets such as telecommunications, service providers and the cable industry. Historically, we sold primarily to a $150 million marketplace, but we now have expanded our verticals to include industries with a marketplace of about $1.2 billion, which is where we expect our new growth will come from. We have already begun executing this growth strategy with new sales leadership, which is working on and signing new, much more expansive distributorships.“

Recent Operational Highlights

  • Launch of the Niagara® 2200, an affordable portable streaming media encoder, and the Niagara 9100-2D, a high-density multiple encoder platform. Both the Niagara 2200 and 9100-2D feature the new Niagara SCX® version 7.0 encoding, control and management software.

  • Released an updated version of its Niagara SCX® encoding, control and management software to provide service providers more cost-effective delivery and user control. Niagara SCX version 7.0 offers a new output streaming format, MPEG2 Transport Stream (TS), and will now be standard on all recently released and upcoming Niagara streaming media systems.

  • Launch of the Osprey® 845e video capture card, introducing higher channel density with up to four independent SDI inputs and has a true 3G input (SMPTE 424) with only one connector, as opposed to the dual link normally found in other cards.

  • While exhibiting at IBC2012’s Connected World, a special area featuring the latest developments in internet connected devices capable of making content available anywhere, ViewCast signed two new high-profile European customers. The new customers include the Dutch Parliament, following the lead of the U.S. Congress, which ordered ViewCast systems to begin streaming its sessions throughout Europe; and The Telegraph, an online newspaper based in the UK, which is deploying ViewCast technology to stream media video content through its website.

  • ViewCast was again recognized as one of the “100 Companies that Matter Most in Online Video” by Streaming Media Magazine


Third Quarter Financial Results

In the 2012 third quarter, revenues were $2.7 million compared to $3.3 million in the prior year period. Operating expenses for the third quarter 2012 were $2.3 million compared to $2.7 million for the prior year period. Operating loss for the third quarter 2012 was $(541,000) compared to a loss of $(715,000) for the year-earlier period.

Net loss for the third quarter 2012 was $(576,000) or $(0.01) per fully diluted share compared to net loss of $(916,000) or $(0.02) per fully diluted share in the third quarter 2011.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the 2012 third quarter was $(443,000), compared to $(691,000) in the 2011 third quarter. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that ViewCast management believes can be helpful in assessing the Company’s overall performance and considered as an indicator of operating efficiency and earnings quality. The Company suggests that EBITDA be viewed in conjunction with the Company’s reported financial results or other financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Nine-Month Financial Results

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 revenues were $9.0 million compared to $10.7 million for the first nine months 2011. Operating expenses for the nine-months 2012 were $7.1 million, compared to $7.9 million for the nine-months 2011. The operating loss was $(1.4) million, compared to an operating loss of $(1.2) million for the nine-months 2011.

Net loss for the nine-months 2012 was $(1.6) million, compared to a net loss of $(2.1) million for nine-months 2011. For the nine-months 2012, net income applicable to common shareholders was $(1.6) million or $(0.03) per share on a fully diluted basis. Due to the accounting treatment for the preferred stock redemption during the first nine months of 2011, the net income applicable to common shareholders benefitted by $5.6 million, which together with an adjustment of $282,000 for stated preferred stock dividends resulted in net income applicable to common shareholders of $3.2 million or $0.07 per share on a fully diluted basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

EBITDA for the nine-months 2012 was $(1.1) million, compared to $(1.4) million for nine-months 2011.

Guidance for remainder of 2012

The Company anticipates revenues to increase modestly for the fourth quarter. As new product categories are added and new markets entered during the fourth quarter, the Company anticipates that revenues will steadily move upward. Because the Company now operates at a lower break-even point, ViewCast believes that incremental revenues will have a greater positive impact on operating results and the bottom line.

PLANO, Texas, October 10, 2012 – Streaming Media Magazine’s editorial and publishing staff named ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST) as one of the top 100 companies in online video. The Streaming Media list, titled “100 Companies that Matter Most in Online Video,“ appears as the cover story of the magazine’s current issue. An 11-member judging panel of streaming media experts selected the listed companies as crucial to the advancement of the streaming video industry.

“ViewCast is honored to be ranked among renowned experts in online video,“ said John Hammock, President and CEO of ViewCast. “This recognition stems from our innovative engineers, and the expanded flexibility and continuous development of our Osprey® and Niagara® product lines. We give customers the opportunity to stream professional quality video at any budget to screens anywhere.“

ViewCast earned its ranking for a second year in a row, as last year’s inaugural Streaming Media 100 List also acknowledged the company’s achievements. The list spotlights companies with high growth potential and staying power. To compile the list, the judges compared company achievements to the industry’s customer expectations, such as end-to-end solutions, a la carte options, and strong partner integration.

The Company also announced that its new streaming media products and video capture cards received an enthusiastic response at IBC2012 in Amsterdam this month.

“We returned from Europe with a new level of enthusiasm throughout the Company,“ Hammock said. “We strongly believe that the changes we made in sales and marketing, upgrades in our existing products and the products we are introducing in the second half of the year are returning ViewCast to a pattern of growth. Combined with our new lower cost structure, this growth pattern should strengthen the Company’s financials for the second half of the year and return the company to profitability shortly thereafter.“

As further evidence of the excitement around the improved product line, hundreds of existing and potential customers “test-drove” new and upgraded encoding solutions at IBC2012. The new streaming solutions introduced at IBC include:

  • Osprey® 845e and Osprey 820e cards: The high-density SDI Osprey 845e is a recent addition to the Osprey line bringing broadcast flexibility to enterprise, government and integrator markets. The Osprey 820e card was also showcased by Telestream with their popular Wirecast product.

August 21, 2012 – ViewCast Introduces New Osprey® Card with Greater Input Capability and Broadcast Flexibility for Broader Enterprise, Government and Integrator Markets
Osprey 845e Card Has True 3G, High-Density SDI Inputs

PLANO, Texas, August 21, 2012 – ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), today announced the availability of the Osprey® 845e video capture card, the latest addition to its award-winning Osprey line.

“The Osprey 845e brings a new level of choice to market. Content providers can select from two models based on their definition needs, and still expect an optimum viewing experience. The newest card includes our SimulStream® technology and carries the ViewCast and Osprey tradition of the highest audio and video quality,“ said John Hammock, President and CEO of ViewCast, a developer of industry-leading solutions that help companies capture and deliver video to broadband and mobile networks.

The Osprey 845e introduces higher channel density with up to four independent SDI inputs and has a true 3G input (SMPTE 424) with only one connector, as opposed to the dual link normally found in other cards.

The Osprey 845e is available in two models, standard definition or high definition SDI, to suit a wide range of applications in broadcasting, enterprise, education, government and global OEM system integration. The standard definition model can be field upgraded to high definition SDI, allowing the customer to manage infrastructure cost.

Built with the same reliable Osprey drivers, this PCI Express® card also has drivers for Microsoft® Windows® and Linux operating systems.

With more modes and pre-processing features, the Osprey 845e has customer-defined screens for signal loss to prevent streaming interruptions as well as automatic HD-SD input detection and switching. The default frame rate delivered to client applications is also customizable.

August 19, 2012 – ViewCast Launches New Affordable, Portable Streaming Media Encoder, High Density Multiple Encoder Platform
New Niagara® 2200, 9100-2D Products Feature Niagara SCX 7.0 Software; To Be Showcased at Integrate Expo 2012 in Australia

PLANO, Texas, August 19, 2012 – ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), today announced the availability of the Niagara® 2200, an affordable portable streaming media encoder, and the Niagara 9100-2D, a high-density multiple encoder platform. Both the Niagara 2200 and 9100-2D feature the new Niagara SCX® version 7.0 encoding, control and management software. This new platform integrated in both products includes a new output container format and MPEG2 Transport Stream (TS) that supports both MPEG-2 and H.264 encoding.

“The Niagara 2200 and 9100-2D answer industry demand for a new output streaming format, which is becoming an important standard for service providers and broadcasters to allow delivery over UDP/IP,“ said John Hammock, President and CEO of ViewCast, a developer of industry-leading solutions that help companies deliver video to mobile devices and televisions. “The integration of Niagara SCX version 7.0 software in both products, as well as all new Niagara products, will enhance audio capabilities and provide improved user supportability tools for simplified use.“

Hammock concluded, “The introduction of these and other technologies this summer are key milestones as we refresh and upgrade our entire technology platform to get in front of changing industry standards as well as pave the way for entering larger service provider markets in the second half of the year.“

Niagara 2200 Portable System Combines Popular Formats at an Affordable Price
Built on the same hardware as the Niagara 2100 and 2120, the Niagara 2200 adds versatility by providing a choice of Windows Media® or Adobe® Flash®, as well as MPEG-4 and H.263. In addition, the Niagara 2200 has the capability to configure the encoded output as a Transport Stream. The Niagara 2200 is an ideal fit for analog inputs and standard definition output. Its webcasting capabilities make it an affordable and flexible solution for encoding to content delivery networks (CDNs), local high schools and churches, and for public, educational and government (PEG) applications.

The new Niagara 2200 will replace the Niagara 2100 and 2120. However, customers can upgrade existing Niagara 2100 and 2120 systems for a nominal fee.

High-density Niagara 9100-2D is First Digital Unit in Series
The Niagara 9100-2D is the newest addition to the high-performance Niagara 9100 encoder platform series. While other models are analog, the Niagara 9100-2D has two digital inputs. It is capable of delivering two simultaneous streams in SD or HD video formats, ideal for service providers and broadcasters who can now go digital with the same high-quality performance of the trusted Niagara name.

The Niagara 2200 and 9100-2D will be on display at the Integrate Expo 2012 event in Darling Harbour Australia from August 21 – 23, 2012 in Niagara distributor, Corsair Solutions’ booth (F26).

August 19, 2012 – ViewCast Updates Niagara SCX® Encoder Management Software to Combine Audio Enhancements, Simplified Interface for Flexible Streaming Options
Niagara SCX v7.0 With MPEG-2 Transport Stream Manages High-Quality Streams At Lower Cost

PLANO, Texas, August 19, 2012 – ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), today released an updated version of its Niagara SCX® encoding, control and management software to provide service providers more cost-effective delivery and user control. Niagara SCX version 7.0 offers a new output streaming format, MPEG2 Transport Stream (TS), and will now be standard on all recently released and upcoming Niagara streaming media systems.

“The introduction of a new streaming format is integral to the success and user satisfaction for advanced management software. MPEG2 TS is a standard in IPTV, and with the updated version of Niagara SCX on all new products, service providers can now manage high-quality streams to set top boxes at a lower cost,“ said John Hammock, President and CEO of ViewCast, a developer of industry-leading solutions that help companies deliver video to mobile devices and televisions. “This is another key step towards gaining a foothold in the larger markets for cable and telcom service providers, for which we can provide superior technologies in terms of streaming quality, flexibility and durability in the field.“

Niagara SCX version 7.0 brings added flexibility to new products, as the MPEG2 TS supports both MPEG-2 and H.264 encoding. The recently released Niagara 9100-2D with new Niagara SCX software can stream digitally in either SD or HD. The same software allows the analog Niagara 2200 to deliver local content at a highly competitive price.

“This flexibility of the new version of Niagara SCX will help a wide variety of users accomplish streaming needs, as the software combines audio enhancements and a simplified interface with our well established Osprey technology,“ said Adrian Giuhat, Senior VP of Product Development /CTO. “It simplifies the process for broadcasters to transcode national feeds and service providers to accomplish over-the-top (OTT) overlay and HTTP live streaming (HLS) extension. It also allows enterprisers LAN distribution, including streaming to set top boxes.“

A simple and user-friendly platform, the Niagara SCX version 7.0 also delivers the following new features and benefits:

  • Simultaneous Control with SNMP: Simple network management protocol (SNMP), enables the interconnection with network management tools so customers can control one or several Niagara systems simultaneously. Now, customers can start and stop all pre-defined encoders or just specific ones, as well as pre-defined groups of encoders. This control also extends to system and encoder monitoring.

  • Supportability Enhancements: Supportability enhancements such as an automatic online registration tool enables direct communication between the Niagara system and ViewCast support team, making future remote software updates faster and easier.

  • Closed Caption support: A simplified interface control now lets customers overlay CEA-608 (standard definition) and CEA-708 (high definition) closed caption information onto video.

  • Additional Audio Codecs: High efficiency advanced audio coding (HE-AAC) for Flash and MPEG-4 improves audio quality at lower bitrates which is ideal for mobile devices.

  • Existing product lines (Niagara GoStream® SURF, 9100-4A, 9100-8A and 7550) can be upgraded to Niagara SCX version 7.0. Customers who have these Niagara products can purchase a software upgrade with detailed instructions.

    August 14, 2012 – ViewCast Reports 2012 Second Quarter, Six-Month Results
    New LINUX Drivers Complete; New Product Launches on Track for Second Half of 2012

    PLANO, Texas, August 14, 2012– ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the capture and streaming of video over enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, today reported results for the 2012 second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012, as well as a new product introduction schedule and guidance for the 2012 third quarter.

    The Company reported net sales of $2.9 million in the second quarter 2012 compared to $3.9 million in the prior year period. In the second quarter, the Company saw sales and pipeline activity for Osprey® Video cards relatively steady versus Q1 2012 but down from Q2 2011, when integrators stocked up on certain boards that were discontinued that 2011 quarter. Niagara® sales suffered in the Q2 2012 period as channels in both the US and overseas reported soft or delayed demand for the systems.

    ViewCast Chief Executive Officer John Hammock said, “The shift to web-based media continues to gain momentum as illustrated by viewership statistics for the recently completed London Olympics that showed a greater than 300 percent increase in online viewership over the 2008 games. Our plan of expanding our product portfolio to tie directly to the increased network and delivery requirements for web-based media is on track for product introductions during the second half of the year. Top line for the second quarter was impacted by macro economic factors in Europe and the US, but we are refreshing our legacy product lines to reverse that pressure, having introduced a series of Linux drivers for our Osprey cards that double our market potential in that area. We anticipate that these changes and our current negotiations with additional channel partners will reverse the quarter’s trend in both Osprey and Niagara appliances by year end.“

    Hammock concluded, “More importantly for long-term growth and shareholder value is our new slate of products targeting the market for a broader variety of broadcasters, enterprises, integrators and service providers whom are involved with the entire spectrum of streaming media such as the regional delivery of the Olympics – a market that approaches $1 billion per year. We continue to lay the groundwork to re-launch the Company as a growing enterprise in the sweet spot of the digital media equipment marketplace. We are actively working with large potential customers to translate their needs into new products that are scheduled to be released before the end of the year.“

    Recent Operational Highlights

    • The Company hired veteran global sales executive Wayne Shackelford as Vice President Worldwide Sales. Shackelford has more than 25 years of experience and success in sales and business development in a variety of hardware and software communications products through direct and channel sales teams to global enterprises and service providers.

    • To address lagging sales in Osprey cards, the Company announced its active support of the open source community through a partnership with KernelLabs, in the development of Linux drivers for all of its latest Osprey video capture cards. Most recently, Linux drivers for the Osprey 260e, 460e and 820e capture cards were made available through the KernelLabs website. The drivers will be submitted to the next Linux kernel and then available directly in the Linux distribution thereafter.


    Second Quarter Financial Results

    In the 2012 second quarter, revenues were $2.9 million compared to $3.9 million in the prior year period. Operating expenses for the second quarter 2012 were $2.4 million compared to $2.6 million for the prior year period. Operating loss for the second quarter 2012 was $(550,000) compared to a loss of $(59,000) for the year-earlier period.

    Net loss for the second quarter 2012 was $(582,000) or (0.01) per fully diluted share compared to net loss of $(378,000) in the second quarter 2011.

    EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the 2012 second quarter was $(455,000), compared to $(142,000) in the 2011 second quarter. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that ViewCast management believes can be helpful in assessing the Company’s overall performance and considered as an indicator of operating efficiency and earnings quality. The Company suggests that EBITDA be viewed in conjunction with the Company’s reported financial results or other financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    Chief Financial Officer Laurie Latham commented on the ongoing financial restructuring, “We have been successful in reducing our cost structure in the organization that lowers our breakeven point and better matches our revenue run rate, while still investing in the new product development that will drive growth in the coming periods. The result of that activity provides a more modest cost structure going forward; however we are still working to achieve better capitalization, find efficiencies and eliminate any waste in the operations.“

    Six-Month Financial Results

    Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased 15.4 percent to $6.3 million compared to $7.4 million for the first six months 2011.

    Operating expenses for the six-months 2012 were $4.8 million, compared to $5.2 million for the six-months 2011. The operating loss was $(825,000), compared to an operating loss of $(476,000) for the six-months 2011.

    Net loss for the six-months 2012 was $(987,000), compared to a net loss of $(1.2) million for six-months 2011. For the six-months 2012, net income applicable to common shareholders was $(987,000) or $(0.02) per share on a fully diluted basis. Due to the accounting treatment for the preferred stock redemption during the first six months of 2011, the net income applicable to common shareholders benefitted by $5.6 million, which together with an adjustment of $282,000 for stated preferred stock dividends resulted in net income applicable to common shareholders of $4.1 million or $0.09 per share on a fully diluted basis for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

    EBITDA for the six-months 2012 was $(690,000), compared to $(720,000) million for six-months 2011.

    Guidance for remainder of 2012

    The Company anticipates revenues to stay relatively stable for the third quarter. As new product categories are added during the third and fourth quarter and new markets entered throughout the remainder of the year, the Company anticipates that revenues will steadily move upward.

    August 1, 2012 – ViewCast Supports Linux Open Source Community through Partnership With KernelLabs
    Expands Marketplace for Osprey Video Capture Cards

    PLANO, Texas, August 1, 2012 – ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions that help companies deliver video to mobile devices and televisions, today announced its active support of the open source community through its partnership with KernelLabs, a coalition of like-minded Linux software engineers whose primary goal is to improve the Linux platform for audio / video applications. ViewCast is working with KernelLabs in the development of Linux drivers for all of its latest Osprey video capture cards. Most recently, Linux drivers for the Osprey 260e, 460e and 820e capture cards were made available through the KernelLabs website. The drivers will be submitted to the next Linux kernel and then available directly in the Linux distribution thereafter.

    This initiative expands the marketplace for ViewCast products and renews the Company’s commitment to providing quality solutions for all integrators.

    “By supporting the Linux platform, we are broadening our potential customer base and bringing our solutions to a wider variety of business and innovators. A large segment of ViewCast integrators and customers utilize Linux in their business, reinforcing the need for solutions in the Linux community,“ said ViewCast President and CEO John Hammock. “Our continuous work with recognized Linux driver development organizations such as KernelLabs supports this initiative.“

    ViewCast’s partnership with KernelLabs will bring its Osprey Linux drivers to the open source community and certifies they are in full compliance with the GNU General Public License (GPL) ensuring the whole Linux community can benefit from future improvements.

    While all of the PCI® and PCI-X® line of Osprey cards have modern Linux kernels that support the chipset on these capture cards, ViewCast continues taking the initiative to assist in the development of Osprey modules to support its newer PCIe® capture cards. A major component of the initiative is to keep the Linux module in the public domain so that developers are free to innovate. Links to ViewCast’s Linux drivers for its Osprey line of cards may be found on its website www.viewcast.com.

    Osprey capture cards are professional-quality computer cards designed to capture audio and video from standard analog sources to high-definition digital sources. The Osprey line of cards enable compatible Windows® and Linux applications to acquire, convert, record, encode, and broadcast audio and video.

    These award-winning capture cards are known throughout the industry for their reliability and powerful preprocessing features such cropping, scaling, de-interlace, and watermarking. With the use of SimulStream®, an Osprey capture card can deliver video data from a single input to multiple applications or instances of an application increasing the versatility.

    May 15, 2012 – ViewCast Reports 2012 First Quarter Results
    New Product Initiatives Proceeding; Launches on Track for Summer and Throughout Second Half of 2012

    PLANO, Texas, May 15, 2012– ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the capture and streaming of video over enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, today reported results for the 2012 first quarter ended March 31, 2012 as well as a new product introduction schedule and guidance for the 2012 second quarter.

    The Company reported net sales of $3.4 million in the first quarter 2012 compared to $3.5 million in the prior year period. In the first quarter, sales and pipeline activity for both Niagara® systems and Osprey® cards remained steady via value-added integrators and distribution channels. The Company achieved revenue growth in the Americas in both the Niagara® streaming systems and Osprey® video capture cards, but that growth was offset by a drop in both categories in Europe as economic conditions there impacted order flow.

    ViewCast Chief Executive Officer John Hammock said, “Since I took over as CEO, we have undertaken the decisive actions, necessary changes and exciting advances that will combine to move the Company to the next level. In less than six months, we have upgraded the entire commercial team, enhanced our development productivity and lowered overall quarterly operating expenses by $490,000, or 17 percent, compared to the prior year quarter by selling the VMp product group and trimming in other areas. In addition, we introduced 4 new products, including Linux-based Osprey cards that doubles their market potential, and pushed well down the development path on two game-changing products that will enter new markets by this summer and year-end, respectively.

    “In the first quarter, we continued to make rapid progress in new product introductions and development in the period,“ continued Hammock, “including some key product enhancements highlighted at the National Association of Broadcasters Annual Meeting (NAB 2012). We are engaged in the beginning phases of a steady stream of product introductions that will benefit both top- and bottom-line results in the coming quarters and years.“

    Hammock concluded, “Historically, we targeted the limited live streaming marketplace that represented purchases of less that $150 million per year in total. Our new slate of products target the market for a broader variety of broadcasters, enterprises, integrators and service providers whom are involved with the entire spectrum of streaming media – a market that approaches $1 billion per year. We have laid much of the groundwork to re-launch the Company as a growing enterprise that controls its own commercial destiny in the sweet spot of the digital media equipment marketplace. The high value product enhancements that we will be rolling out during the balance of the year open the door for us to access additional large customers in the telecom industry and other network customers that are delivering content directly to consumers and their mobile platforms.“

    Recent Operational Highlights

    • The Company demonstrated key vertical solutions for social media with Google+ Hangouts, presentation capture with Telestream’s Wirecast product and IPTV/OTT with BeeSmart and Amino set top boxes at NAB 2012. Key new business segments and customer groups were targeted this year for the first time with high levels of interest in current and upcoming products.

    • The VMp product line assets and business were sold to a subsidiary of Genus Technologies, LLC in January 2012. Under the transaction terms, ViewCast will receive earn-out payments that will continue to provide the Company revenue streams.

    • Launch of the Osprey® 820e video capture card that integrates audio with a traditional graphics interface – an industry first. The ability to integrate both audio and video with a traditional graphics interface makes this card ideal for enterprise and education customers that want to upgrade and simplify their streaming programs simultaneously.

    First Quarter Financial Results

    In the 2012 first quarter, revenues were $3.4 million compared to $3.5 million in the prior year period. Operating expenses for the first quarter 2012 were $2.4 million compared to $2.6 million for the prior year period. Operating loss of $(275,000) for the first quarter 2012 was an improvement from loss of $(417,000) for the year-earlier period.

    Net loss for the first quarter 2012 was $(405,000) compared to net loss of $(791,000) in the first quarter 2011. The net loss in the period included non-recurring costs from the sale of the company’s former VMp product line and costs related to the reorganization following that divestiture.

    EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the 2012 first quarter was $(234,000), compared to $(578,000) in the 2011 first quarter. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that ViewCast management believes can be helpful in assessing the Company’s overall performance and considered as an indicator of operating efficiency and earnings quality. The Company suggests that EBITDA be viewed in conjunction with the Company’s reported financial results or other financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    Chief Financial Officer Laurie Latham commented on the ongoing financial restructuring, “We have been successful in matching the cost structure of the organization to our revenue run rate, while still investing in the new product development that will drive growth in the coming periods. The organization is cost efficient but productive and is well positioned to take advantage of the new customer opportunities that lay ahead.“

    Guidance for remainder of 2012

    The Company anticipates revenues to stay relatively stable for the second quarter. As new product categories are added beginning at the end of the second quarter and new markets entered throughout the remainder of the year, the Company anticipates that revenues will begin a long and steady upward ramp. Because the Company now operates at a lower break-even point, ViewCast believes that incremental revenues will have a greater positive impact on operating results and the bottom line.

    April 11, 2012 – ViewCast to Unveil New Products at NAB 2012 that Increase Video Delivery Capabilities, Lower Costs
    New Niagara SCX Version Increases Flexibility; Recent Addition to Niagara 9100 Series Ideal for Service Providers, Broadcasters and Enterprises

    PLANO, Texas, April 11, 2012 – ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST) will unveil the latest version of its Niagara SCX® comprehensive management software with IP ingest and MPEG-2 TS protocol, and new additions to the Niagara® 9100 streaming system series: the Niagara 9100-4A, Niagara 9100-4AV and Niagara 9100-IP at NAB 2012, April 14-19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. These products are aimed at lowering costs and increasing video delivery capabilities for content delivery networks and service providers. The Company will showcase these new products along with its recently released Osprey® 820e dual input card in Booth # SU3219 at the show.

    “Not only do these products address industry demand for more flexible and more cost-effective video management solutions, but they also provide us with the opportunity to enter new markets and segments, such as service providers, while expanding our existing capabilities,” said John Hammock, President and CEO of ViewCast, a developer of industry-leading solutions that help companies deliver video to broadband and mobile networks.

    New Products Lower Costs and Increase Video Delivery Capabilities
    The most recent version of Niagara SCX is preloaded on every Niagara system and enhances flexibility and improves the live streaming delivery experience. This solution can also increase the capability of existing systems. For example, customers with legacy systems that only support set top boxes can now easily and cost-effectively add PC and mobile device support. The IP video processor provides the ability to ingest video from an IP stream from either a single or multi-program source while the MPEG-2 TS protocol allows customers to stream video to legacy set top boxes and offer a more simple and less costly option to distribute video in a local area network (LAN).

    The Niagara 9100-4A has four analog composite video inputs with unbalanced audio while the AV option on the Niagara 9100-4AV enables the input to be component, composite or S-Video with the audio as either balanced or unbalanced. The Niagara 9100-IP will have two models; one being a redundant version, and can transcode, transmux and transrate video typically coming over Ethernet connections, from satellite or over the air receivers.

    Osprey 820e Lowers Costs and Enables Rapid Time to Market
    The Osprey 820e is great for education and corporate lecture capture with the ability to ingest video along with a computer interface. This dual input card enables a broader range of cameras to capture digital video and expands the Osprey line by offering a variety of new inputs such as SD or HD analog video, VGA, HDMI and DVI. Prior to this card, customers would have to integrate two cards with two different sets of drivers. The Osprey 820e card lowers the software development costs and enables faster time to market.

    “The Osprey 820e card represents a first in the industry for capture of audio, video and VGA on a single card and builds on the solid reputation of our Osprey hardware and drivers,”said Adrian Giuhat, Senior Vice President of Product Development and CTO of ViewCast.“Additionally, the new developments included in our Niagara SCX software extend the value of the architecture for existing and new customers.“

    April 11, 2012 – ViewCast to Demonstrate Latest Solutions with Partners at NAB 2012

    PLANO, Texas, April 11, 2012 – ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST) doesn’t just sell products, they provide solutions. The Company will demonstrate key vertical solutions for social media with Google+ Hangouts, presentation capture with Telestream’s Wirecast product and IPTV/OTT with BeeSmart and Amino set top boxes at NAB 2012, April 14-19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Booth # SU3219.

    “ViewCast works closely with best of breed partners to provide the highest-quality solutions possible for our customers,” said John Hammock, President and CEO of ViewCast, a developer of industry-leading solutions that help companies deliver video to broadband and mobile networks.

    Social media solution
    Social media is changing the way organizations and communities communicate. The web-based and mobile technologies that turn social media into interactive dialogues are also changing rapidly to meet consumer demand. IT teams are turning to Osprey video capture cards to meet user demand for higher-quality video with services such as Google+ Hangout. The Osprey line of capture cards offers a variety of performance and price points to fit the needs and budgets of different applications. This demonstration will feature the Osprey 700e HD card with an SDI HD camera as the source with the Hangout service.

    Presentation capture solution
    Education and corporate customers increasingly stream live video with PowerPoint slides and incorporate video as part of everyday communication with customers, employees, partners and investors. This demonstration will feature the Osprey 820e capture card with Telestream’s Wirecast application. The Osprey 820e card allows for both computer input as well as audio/video input on one card. This card, an industry first, eliminates the need for two cards.

    IPTV/Over-the-top (OTT) solutions
    Niagara encoders are ideal for an enterprise or service provider IPTV system and can also be used with an existing IPTV deployment to add OTT capabilities. The demonstration will feature the BeeSmart middleware along with an Amino set top box but other partners are also possible.

    “Video streaming used to be a ‘you get what you pay for’ value proposition. ViewCast’s demonstrations at NAB will reveal how that proposition has changed,“ Mike Galli, VP Marketing of ViewCast. “Higher-quality video solutions at lower price points brings the power of video communication to everyday conversations.“

    The Company reported net sales of $3.4 million in the fourth quarter 2011 compared to $4.7 million in the prior year period. While the pipeline for both Osprey® cards and Niagara® systems remained steady, order flow from the Company's principal OEM customer was lower in the fourth quarter. Macroeconomic factors that have impacted the sales channels in recent quarters were still evident in the period, but have begun to ease.

    New ViewCast Chief Executive Officer John Hammock said, "We made excellent progress in the period that will benefit both top- and bottom-line results in the coming quarters and years. We have laid much of the groundwork to re-launch the Company as a growing enterprise that controls its own commercial destiny in the sweet spot of the digital media equipment marketplace."

    Hammock explained, "First, to address and right size the organization for the current order flow, we aggressively restructured the organization and its cost structure to align with our current revenue and to put the right people in place to succeed commercially and enhance shareholder value. These changes and savings have allowed us to re-channel operating funds into more efficient systems and high value product enhancements that we will be rolling out during the balance of the year. Secondly, those product initiatives have made excellent progress and will open the door for us to access additional large customers in the telecom industry and other institutional customers that are seeking new solutions as they all gear up to deliver content directly to consumers and their mobile platforms."

    Recent Operational Highlights

    • During the final months of 2011, complete commercial management restructuring was executed, including the appointment of John Hammock to the position of Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company, the appointment of Mike Galli as Vice President of Marketing and the appointment of Howard Barouxis as Vice President of Sales. In addition to Hammock, two additional individuals were added to the Board of Directors.
    • The VMp product line assets and business were sold to a subsidiary of Genus Technologies, LLC in January 2012. Under the transaction terms, ViewCast will receive earn-out payments that will continue to provide the Company revenue streams.
    • Launch of the Niagara® 9100 series – an ultra high-density/high-performing video encoder platform that streams SD and HD video. The 9100 series also enables service providers, broadcasters and enterprises to power digital content for existing and new audiences in the mobile, web and IPTV environments.
    • Launch of the Osprey® 820e video capture card that integrates audio with a traditional graphics interface – an industry first. The ability to integrate both audio and video with a traditional graphics interface makes this card ideal for enterprise and education customers that want to upgrade and simplify their streaming programs simultaneously.

    Fourth Quarter Financial Results

    In the 2011 fourth quarter, revenues were $3.4 million compared to $4.7 million in the prior year period. Operating expenses for the fourth quarter 2011 were $2.1 million compared to $2.4 million for the prior year period. Operating income of $21,000 for the fourth quarter 2011 decreased from income of $435,000 for the year-earlier period.

    Net loss for the fourth quarter 2011 was $(936,000) compared to net income of $142,000 in the fourth quarter 2010.

    EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the 2011 fourth quarter was $(721,000), compared to $383,000 in the 2010 fourth quarter. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that ViewCast management believes can be helpful in assessing the Company's overall performance and considered as an indicator of operating efficiency and earnings quality. The Company suggests that EBITDA be viewed in conjunction with the Company's reported financial results or other financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    Chief Financial Officer Laurie Latham commented on the ongoing financial restructuring, "We have been successful in our principal financial goal on the operating and expense side of things as we pared back expenses to better match our revenue run rate, with the idea that as we return to growth, stronger bottom-line results will be produced. We executed on the vast majority of the changes already, and we feel confident that the organization is in a more stable position with far better upside as we progress throughout 2012."

    Year-End Financial Results

    Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $14.1 million compared to $15.9 million for the 2010 full year. Operating expenses for 2011 were $10.0 million, compared to $9.7 million for 2010. The operating loss was $(1.2) million, compared to an operating income of $361,000 for 2010.

    Net loss for 2011 was $(3.0) million, compared to a net loss of $(0.6) million for 2010. Due to the accounting treatment for the preferred stock redemption during the period, the net income applicable to common shareholders benefitted by $5.6 million, which together with an adjustment of $282,000 for stated preferred stock dividends resulted in net income applicable to common shareholders of $2.3 million or $0.05 per share on a fully diluted basis for the year ended December 31, 2011. This compares, after the stated preferred stock dividends adjustment of $820,000, to a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $(1.4) million or $(0.04) per share on a fully diluted basis for the prior year period.

    EBITDA for 2011 was $(2.1) million, compared to $429,000 for 2010.

    "Progress with new products and inroads into new customer bases is our marketing priority," concluded Hammock. "We are looking forward to a series of new product introductions that extend our proven core technologies and competencies into new arenas, where we can promote our technology advantages. Within a year, we believe our business will be far more balanced between our expanded target verticals, and will provide a return to profitable growth."

    Guidance for remainder of 2012

    The Company anticipates revenues to stay relatively stable with expenses in alignment for the first quarter as new product initiatives have not yet been released into the market. As those product categories are added and new markets entered throughout the remainder of the year, we anticipate that revenues will begin a long and steady ramp. Because the company now operates at a lower break-even point, we believe that incremental revenues will have a greater positive impact on operating results and the bottom line.

    February 22, 2012 – ViewCast Announces New Osprey® 820e Dual Capture Card
    Latest Technology Adds Audio to Graphics Interface to Serve Growing Needs for Educational and Corporate Customer

    PLANO, Texas, February 22, 2012 – ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST) today made available its new Osprey® 820e video capture card that integrates audio with a traditional graphics interface – an industry first. The ability to integrate both audio and video with a traditional graphics interface makes this card ideal for lecture capture.

    “I believe the Osprey 820e is the first of its kind in the industry,” said John Hammock, President and CEO of ViewCast, a developer of industry-leading solutions that help companies deliver video to broadband and mobile networks. “This card is an ideal solution for lecture capture. Educators and enterprises no longer need multiple cards and multiple drivers to capture and stream lectures and slide presentations simultaneously. We expect a strong reaction within from those growing segments and for the product to achieve success on a global scale,” he added.

    The Osprey 820e provides the ability to ingest video along with a computer interface eliminating the need for two separate cards and multiple drivers. This dual input card can ingest SD or HD analog video as well as VGA, HDMI and DVI. The Osprey 820e also expands the ViewCast digital capture card line by enabling a broader range of cameras to capture digital video.

    “With the introduction of the Osprey 820e, Windows and Linux drivers are immediately available. This shows our commitment to providing our partners with complete solutions towards building their own products,” said Adrian Giuhat, Senior Vice President of Product Development and CTO of ViewCast.

    This half-length board can process large amounts of video data across two inputs. The Osprey 820e also comes standard with the ViewCast SimulStream® driver. This driver enhancement enables the ability to feed multiple encoding applications at the same time. SimulStream can be used with a variety of available streaming formats to easily create and manage live streams and create multiple streams of the same type with completely independent settings for sizing, scaling, logos and bit rates plus logo overlays with dynamic positioning.

    January 23, 2012 – ViewCast Announces Sale of VMp Product Group
    Divestiture Allows Focus on Growth Initiatives and Provides Future Revenue Streams

    PLANO, Texas, January 23, 2012 – ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions that help companies deliver video to broadband and mobile networks, today announced it had completed the sale of its VMp product line assets and business. Held in the Company’s subsidiary, Ancept Corporation, the VMp product line assets and business were sold to a subsidiary of Minneapolis-based Genus Technologies LLC, an enterprise content management product and services provider. In general under the transaction, ViewCast will receive earn-out payments that will continue to provide the Company revenue streams. In addition, ViewCast will continue to market jointly with Genus the VMp product line as a digital media management solution for its customers and channels.

    ViewCast President and CEO John Hammock said the sale of the VMp product line, a software based digital asset management solution, was an integral part of his new strategic plan for the Company to focus on and expand its core product lines, Osprey® capture cards and Niagara® systems with new product introductions and new market opportunities.

    “This sale benefits everyone involved,” Hammock said. “It is good for Genus, a company with strong ties to IBM that will benefit from VMp’s intriguing set of customers, technologies and services. It’s good for the VMp business group, which gets a chance to optimize its value with more focus on development and growth, and it’s great for ViewCast.”

    “Most importantly for our future, however, this strategic move allows us to commit our complete corporate focus on our initiatives aimed at taking advantage of the rapid expansion in the streaming video market,” Hammock added. “That focus is built into our new product innovations, both hardware and software and our new targets in areas such as telecom and the delivery of video content through a variety of wireless, handheld devices.”

    Hammock noted that the increased Company focus afforded by the VMp transaction is augmented by the recently completed private placement by the direct personal investment by a group of investors including Hammock, four other board members and Chief Financial Officer, Laurie Latham.

    “A significant group of executives and directors of ViewCast have all recently made meaningful personal investments to help fund the Company’s new products and strategic initiatives,” Hammock said. “I can think of no stronger expression of confidence in our direction or stronger tangible commitment to growing value for all shareholders.”

    Details of the final terms of the Ancept Corporation asset sale transaction were provided as part of a ViewCast Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

    Hammock, who has more than 20 years of sales leadership and business development experience in the networking market and video streaming industry, joined ViewCast in 2010 as Vice President of Sales and has been serving as President and Chief Operating Officer since July 2011.

    Hammock has assembled a new sales and marketing organization with Howard Barouxis as Vice President of Sales and Mike Galli as Vice President of Marketing. Under Hammock’s leadership, the sales and marketing team is leading ViewCast’s evolution into a more commercially-oriented Company focused on large national and international customers.

    “During his time at ViewCast, John has proven his leadership abilities and created a more expansive sales and marketing strategy that we believe will propel us toward important revenue growth,” Platt said. “We feel confident in his expertise and look forward to a new era at ViewCast.”

    A key part of ViewCast’s growth strategy will be looking beyond traditional broadcast markets to the large and rapidly expanding vertical markets such as telecoms and cable MSOs, noted Hammock.

    “We of course will continue pursuing established customers in our traditional markets but the telecoms and MSOs have become a much more important part of our future,” Hammock said. “They are all exploring new ways to deliver video content to a variety of devices, including smartphones, iPad® digital devices and other wireless devices. We are currently engineering new features and enhancements to our existing Niagara® and Osprey® products that give them the functionality necessary for the new age of wireless, handheld portable devices. We believe ViewCast is positioned as never before to take advantage of the global demand for streaming video.”

    Hanger, now a business consultant, combines strategic vision with strong operational experience. Previously as COO and CFO for venture capital-backed Worksoft, Inc., she led the company through a major growth initiative and brought it to profitability. As the former senior vice president of Americas Operations at Hewlett-Packard, Hanger led operations and IT supporting more than $30 billion in annual revenue in North and South America. Earlier, she directed worldwide supply chain operations at Compaq Computer. Hanger began her career at IBM in various engineering and manufacturing positions. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from Virginia Tech and an MBA from Wake Forest University.

    Ouellette is Executive Vice President, Asset Management for H.T. Ardinger & Son Co., a privately-held import/wholesale and investment conglomerate, and manages a multimillion dollar portfolio of equity, bond and real estate holdings. In this role, Ouellette provides strategic management advice and oversight for investments and operations in pharmaceutical development, computer hardware and software development and sales, environmental technology and non-profits. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics from Rollins College. He is the stepson of H.T. Ardinger, Jr., a principal stockholder of the Company.

    Hammock is a former Vice President of Americas Sales for Kasenna Inc., a publicly traded provider of software to telecommunications, cable, enterprise and consumer electronics manufacturers. During his tenure, he delivered 12 consecutive quarters of sales growth. From 2004 to 2006, he was Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales at Voxpath Networks where he was instrumental in developing major opportunities with Tier-1 and Tier-2 service providers. Hammock was Vice President of Major Accounts for Columbia, Maryland-based Corvis Corporation from 2000 to 2004 where he delivered 83 percent of their total revenue over four years. His efforts helped the company successfully launch a $1.6 billion IPO. Corvis later became Broadwing Corporation which was acquired by Level-3 Communications.

    October 18, 2011 – ViewCast Helps PrepSpin Broadcast High School Sports to Worldwide Audience

    PLANO, Texas, October 18, 2011 – ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media for the enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, today announced that PrepSpin, the Kentucky-based sports broadcasting company, is successfully using Osprey® 460e video capture cards and Niagara® 2100 and Niagara 4100 streaming media systems to broadcast youth, middle, high school and other sporting events throughout the state.

    "Since starting PrepSpin in January 2010, we have broadcast over 700 live and on-demand sporting events. We have also tested every video card imaginable, so we know firsthand that ViewCast products work perfectly," said William Warfield, founder of PrepSpin. "We haven't encountered any audio sync or video buffering issues with the Osprey 460e video capture cards. In fact, the video quality is so good that we are now able to broadcast to local TV channels. This has opened a whole new market for us, and we couldn't be happier."

    John Hammock, President and Chief Operating Officer of ViewCast said, "We believe that the high school market is going to explode over the next couple of years. Hundreds of games are now webcast each week and thousands of high schools are also now webcasting educational TV programs and teacher-produced content. We believe that most high schools will be equipping themselves for streaming capabilities within the coming decade. Our Osprey, Niagara and VMp solutions are ideal for sports applications and we stand ready to serve broadcasters like PrepSpin that are looking to set up low-cost, single-operator, easy-to-use systems for sideline reporting and delivering the stream via the web in multiple formats."

    Warfield added, "In addition to the Osprey cards, we have used the Niagara 2100 streaming media appliance to stream college baseball games through its remote interface. It was easy, and we were able to stream a live video feed of a game online without even being at the game. The Niagara units do more than just streaming. We have used them recently to record several versions of the same broadcast for upload. We can record a web version when internet access is not available at the high school games, and a higher quality version to make a DVD of the game. Try doing that with just a computer. It's easy for us to upload the web version in a matter of minutes and also transfer the high-quality version for file burning on a DVD through the sharing folder feature on the Niagara unit. ViewCast's Niagara systems are a must have for anyone serious about this business."

    PrepSpin plans to use ViewCast's Osprey 460e and Niagara 2100 and will soon introduce the high-definition capabilities of the Niagara 4100 system to stream upcoming events, including the popular Kentucky Basketball Showcase (and pre-season event); the "Clash at Cameron" High School Basketball Showcase in Durham, NC; various roller derbies; Professional Indy Circuit Wrestling, and any one of over 200 high school athletics events scheduled for later this year.

    October 11, 2011 – ViewCast Launches Enhanced Niagara SCX 6.4 Streaming Media Management Software

    ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media for the enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, has again distinguished itself from the competition with the release of an enhanced version of the Company's powerful Niagara SCX® streaming media management software. The new Niagara SCX 6.4 includes a number of advanced features, including support for adaptive live encoding via Microsoft® Live IIS Smooth Streaming and PlayReady® DRM support, updates to Akamai® HD iPhone® and iPad® streaming, improved MPEG-4 streaming, and presentation and security enhancements for the entire adaptive streaming portfolio. Full software functionality will be available on ViewCast's professional-grade Niagara® Pro II, Niagara 7550 and Niagara 4100 streaming media systems, with upgrades available to existing owners of ViewCast streaming systems.

    "The world of media is changing at lightning speed, and our broadcast customers continually need to deliver content in an ever expanding variety of formats," said John Hammock, President and Chief Operating Officer of ViewCast Corporation. "The advanced feature set of our latest SCX 6.4 streaming media management software, along with the flexibility that adaptive streaming provides, delivers a winning combination of functionality, performance and reliability to satisfy today's wide spectrum of viewers."

    At the heart of Niagara SCX 6.4 is the Adaptive Live Media Publisher component, which simultaneously creates multiple H.264 video streams that are time-aligned to support delivery in adaptive formats. Improved adaptive streaming presentation features dramatically improve the viewer experience by allowing the media player to dynamically select the appropriate bit rate, frame rate and scaling for each viewer's available bandwidth, eliminating "re-buffering" delays. Other added features that are new with SCX 6.4 include the capability for audio-only streams and a toggle for on-screen display statistics.

    Version 6.4 now supports live encoding on even more of the most popular media formats, including Microsoft Live IIS Smooth Streaming as used for Set-top Boxes (STBs), PCs with Silverlight®, Xbox®, and Windows® mobile devices; Akamai HD iPhone and iPad streaming; Apple® iPhone, iPad and iPod® mobile devices; Adobe® Flash® Dynamic Streaming; 3GPP mobile and others. By eliminating the need for an external iPhone stream segmenter, ViewCast has simplified encoding workflows and reduced overall system costs.

    Other new features of SCX 6.4 include improved MPEG-4 streaming start-up, which enhances the user experience by encoding MPEG-4 streams for file segmenting, transmission and storage, and the introduction of a passive FTP option for companies using firewalls that impede adaptive streaming deployment.

    Standard features include integrated segmenting, support for multiple CDN authentication protocols, built-in AES-128 encryption, support for WM format SDK 11 with added support for Windows Media DRM Client Extended APIs, profile grouping, multiple stream redundancy (MSR), and automatic stream reconnect (ASR).

    May 16, 2011 – ViewCast Reports 2011 First Quarter Results

    — ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media over enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, today reported year-over-year growth and strong operational progress for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 and subsequent weeks.

    The Company reported that revenue in the first quarter, as expected, reflected seasonal buying patterns and integrator uncertainty regarding government funding impacting the early part of the quarter followed by more robust sales volumes in March and April. The quarterly revenue was driven in large part by more than 35 percent growth in the sale of Niagara® appliances to both new and established customers.

    Highlights of the First Quarter

    Important progress made in the first quarter and subsequent weeks included:

    • Participation in the Annual NAB conference where the Company previewed the Niagara 4100 and Osprey 710e and hosted live demonstrations of VMp, Niagara 7500 and Niagara 2120 streaming media encoders, and Niagara SCX 6.2 streaming media management software. The show also highlighted the Niagara 2120 and 4100 in bundled solutions with Sony's midrange video production switching products, which were demonstrated within both companies' booths.
    • The release of two new Osprey video capture cards, the Osprey 460 and 260, for multi-stream, multi-platform delivery,
    • The introduction of the 710e HD Card combining HD/SDI Video and AES digital audio capability in a single card,
    • The signing of an agreement on May 4, 2011 with the holders of Series B, C and E Preferred Stock of ViewCast that results in the conversion of the majority of the Preferred Stock and eliminates accumulated and future dividends,
    • The hiring of Kevin Dowd as Managing Director of ViewCast's Hong Kong office. In that role, he is responsible for growing ViewCast's business in China and the Asia-Pacific region, driving sales initiatives to deliver ViewCast products to new and existing customers, and training and support of the Company's distribution partners.

    ViewCast President and Chief Executive Officer Dave Stoner said, "Following a very strong fourth quarter and full year 2010, we saw typical seasonal pullback in the first part of the 2011 first quarter that was deeper than we had anticipated. We also saw sales flow and order activity pick up significantly in both March and April, giving us good momentum into Q2. Our sales pipeline across our product portfolio continues to be healthy and we are seeing both existing and new customers finding new and innovative uses for our digital encoders as they look for look for new ways to monetize their digital media assets. Our recently expanded sales force and distribution channels worldwide are already producing new opportunities and new business and we continue to anticipate a year of steady growth in 2011."

    First Quarter Financial Results

    In the 2011 first quarter, revenues increased one percent to $3.71 million from $3.68 million in the prior year period. Operating expenses for the first quarter 2011 were $2.9 million compared to $2.7 million for the prior year period. Operating loss for the first quarter 2011 was $(750,000) compared to a loss of $(284,000) for the year-earlier period as the company continued to make investments in new sales and marketing infrastructure and initiatives both domestically and overseas.

    Net loss for the first quarter 2011 was $(791,000) compared to a loss of $(311,000) in the first quarter 2010. After preferred dividends adjustment, the first quarter 2011 net loss per share applicable to the common shareholders was $(0.03) per share on a fully diluted basis compared to net loss per share applicable to the common shareholders of $(0.01) per share on a fully diluted basis in the first quarter 2010.

    EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the 2011 first quarter was $(578,000), compared to $(54,000) in the 2010 first quarter. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that ViewCast management believes can be helpful in assessing the Company's overall performance and considers as an indicator of operating efficiency and earnings quality. The Company suggests that EBITDA be viewed in conjunction with the Company's reported financial results or other financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    May 10, 2011 – University of Montreal's Peregrine Falcon Monitoring Endeavor Takes Flight with ViewCast Streaming Media Solutions

    — ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media over enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, today announced that the University of Montreal has deployed a donated ViewCast Osprey® 440 video capture card and SimulStream® software to aid in the 24/7, live monitoring of a family of peregrine falcons that reside on campus. With this technology gift from ViewCast, the University is able to stream real-time video of the falcons to researchers, project supporters, and wildlife conservationists around the world.

    "The University of Montreal's peregrine falcon monitoring project exemplifies the literally thousands of potential innovative streaming media applications enabled by ViewCast's streaming media solutions," said Dave Stoner, president and CEO of ViewCast. "Our media solutions are designed to be cost effective and easy to use, as this monitoring project demonstrates."

    Once an endangered species in North America, peregrine falcon populations have soared in recent years due in part to the efforts of people like Eve Belisle, the University of Montreal's peregrine falcon project leader, who discovered the high-flying falcons in the area in 2007. Ms. Belisle aided in the construction of a nesting box atop a 26-story tower on campus, where the falcon family has nested since 2009.

    Utilizing two video cameras, an IBM server and ViewCast's four-channel Osprey 440 video capture card, Ms. Belisle has streamed live video of the falcons to as many as 2,000 viewers per day, chronicling the family's nesting behavior and the arrival of five falcon chicks over the span of two nesting seasons. The two video feeds are supported by ViewCast's advanced SimulStream software, which leverages the Osprey 440's multi-channel capabilities to capture and output multiple video streams simultaneously.

    "ViewCast's contribution to the University of Montreal's peregrine falcon monitoring initiative has enabled us to share live video of these wonderful creatures with a worldwide audience, and in so doing, promote the continued research and conservation of peregrine falcons," said Ms. Belisle. "ViewCast's technology makes it easy for non-broadcasting professionals like me to apply streaming media in creative new ways, and I'm grateful to have their support."

    "ViewCast is delighted to contribute our technology and technical support to this initiative, and we wish Ms. Belisle all the best with her worthy endeavor," Stoner added. To see live streaming video of the peregrine falcon nest at the University of Montreal, visit

    May 5, 2011 – ViewCast Announces Conversion and Restructuring of Preferred Shares

    — ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media over enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, today reported that it had signed a Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement with the holders of Series B, C and E Preferred Stock of ViewCast that will result in the conversion of the majority of the Preferred Stock and eliminate accumulated and future dividends.

    The agreement calls for the holders of B and C series of preferred stock to immediately convert their holdings into approximately 16.7 million shares of ViewCast Common Stock, representing an exchange value of $0.60 per share.

    The E series (non-dividend bearing) holder will have the right for the next twelve months to convert its preferred shares for 16 million shares of common stock, an exchange value of $0.50 per share. The E series holder will be compelled to exchange its shares for Common Stock at an exchange value of $0.50 per share if at any time in the next 12 months the Company successfully raises net proceeds of $7 million in one or a series of common stock offerings.

    ViewCast President and Chief Executive Officer Dave Stoner said, "It would be difficult to overstate the importance of this agreement and the significance of this milestone for ViewCast, its stockholders and all of its constituents. The two classes of preferred stock that were converted at a substantial premium to ViewCast's share price were a necessary tool when they were issued many years ago as the Company was in its early stages. We are grateful to the Ardinger family and the other participants in those rounds, and we believe that their commitment to the Company during that period ensured the continuation and growth of the organization."

    ViewCast's Chief Financial Officer Laurie Latham added, "In today's environment, the structure of the preferred securities has become an impediment to the Company and its common shareholders. The conversion of these shares will eliminate an overhang that inhibits new investment, share liquidity, financial results and the ability of the Company to list its securities on a national exchange."

    ViewCast's Chief Financial Officer Laurie Latham added, "In today's environment, the structure of the preferred securities has become an impediment to the Company and its common shareholders.

    April 12, 2011 –ViewCast Osprey 710e HD Card Combines HD/SDI Video and AES Digital Audio Capability in a Single Card

    — ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media over enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, today unveiled the newest addition to its legendary Osprey® series of high definition (HD) video capture cards. The Osprey 710e HD is an advanced video capture card that allows users to ingest a combination of high-definition serial digital interface (HD/SDI) video and AES digital audio using four built-in AES/EBU inputs. This architecture eliminates the need for separate AES-to-SDI embedding equipment and simplifies overall workflow. Professional broadcasters, governments and OEM system integrators with broadcast-grade, HD/SDI video and AES audio needs can now use one card to deliver digital video and digital audio signals for their webcasting, live streaming, podcasting, mobile TV and Video on Demand (VOD) applications.

    "The Osprey 710e HD card affords our professional broadcast customers a powerful new tool to enhance their video with AES/EBU audio capabilities," said ViewCast president and CEO Dave Stoner. "By accommodating digital video and audio processing with one card, we've enabled our customers to deliver the highest quality digital media to their audiences faster and more cost effectively."

    The Osprey 710e HD high-definition and standard-definition (SD) combination video capture card comes with advanced features that distinguish it from competing cards used for ingesting video into video editing systems and other applications, including:

    • SDI and AES digital audio
    • High-powered PCI Express® (PCIe) technology for maximum performance
    • Acceptance of both SD and HD inputs
    • Automatic adaptation between SD and HD signals
    • On-the-fly HD to SD downscaling
    • Low-profile architecture for form-factor constrained environments
    • Professional broadcaster features, such as loss of video detection, color space conversion, automatic telecine detection and processing, and automatic optimization for changing motion content

    The Osprey 710e HD card also comes standard with SimulStream®, a premium driver enhancement that provides the ability to feed multiple encoding applications at the same time. SimulStream can be used with a variety of available streaming codecs to easily create and manage live streams, support SD and HD streams, and create multiple streams of the same type with completely independent settings for sizing, scaling, logos and bit rates. The SimulStream option enables:

    • Completely independent settings for sizing, scaling and bit rates, plus logo overlays with dynamic positioning
    • A multitude of simultaneous video format outputs

    April 11, 2011 – ViewCast Announces Two New Osprey Video Capture Cards for Multi-stream, Multi-platform Delivery

    — ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media over enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, today announced the availability of two new Osprey® video capture cards - the Osprey 260e and Osprey 460e. Both cards are designed to work with industry standard media encoding applications including Microsoft Expression Encoder and Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder, and are ideally suited for broadcasters, enterprises, governments and OEM system integrators looking for high-quality, reliable solutions for webcasting, live streaming, podcasting, mobile TV, video on demand and/or surveillance applications.

    "Osprey video capture cards are widely recognized as the industry standard for high-quality, rock-solid streaming performance," said Dave Stoner, President and CEO of ViewCast. "With the introduction of the Osprey 260e and 460e cards to ViewCast's award-winning Osprey product family, we continue to improve upon that tradition as we extend our technology leadership to meet the demands of today's multi-platform digital media marketplace."

    By adding SimulStream® to either card, users can encode content in multiple formats, bit rates and resolutions – simultaneously, from a single video source, to reach the expanding variety of devices available to consumers for viewing media content wherever they are. Both the Osprey 260e and 460e cards optimize the PCI Express (PCIe) bus architecture to unleash the power of modern multi-core PC engines with unfettered access to all PC resources. This capability means more power for the most demanding streaming applications.

    The Osprey 260e provides one channel selectable between composite, component, or Y/C video and balanced or unbalanced audio in a low profile form factor, ideal for compact system enclosures. The Osprey 460e card is designed to simultaneously capture four independent channels of analog video and unbalanced stereo audio signals and process them independently, minimizing internal PC space requirements. The channel density offered by the Osprey 460e dramatically reduces total system cost by increasing the capture capacity within a single system.

    The 460e A/V option also provides additional video inputs and four stereo balanced audio inputs to the rear panel connectors. The optional video inputs include the selection of component or Y/C (S-Video) for each of the 4 channels or 3 additional composite inputs for a total of 16 switchable composite inputs per card.

    March 14, 2011 – ViewCast Appoints Kevin Dowd as Managing Director of Asia-Pacific Region

    — ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media over enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, today announced the hiring of Kevin Dowd as Managing Director of ViewCast's Hong Kong office. In this role, he will be responsible for defining technology solutions for customers in China and the Asia-Pacific region, supporting sales initiatives to deliver ViewCast products to new and existing customers, and training distribution partners. Mr. Dowd is based in Hong Kong.

    "Expansion in the Asian marketplace is a key strategic driver this year for ViewCast and, in doing so, we are committed to providing world-class support to our existing and future Asian customer base," commented Dave Stoner, President and CEO, ViewCast. "Leveraging ViewCast's technology expertise with Kevin's existing relationships and understanding of the unique business climate of the Asia-Pacific Region, we intend to exceed our customers' expectations for our value-added products and services."

    ViewCast first established an Asian presence in the late 1990's to harness the spectacular growth in this market and provide regional customers with high-quality, cost-effective streaming media appliances. Under Dowd's direction, ViewCast plans to grow its existing customer base and become the leading provider of streaming media and asset management solutions in Asia.

    New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Analysis of the World Total Broadcast and DTT Video Encoders Market, finds that the market earned revenues of nearly $190 million in 2009 and is expected to grow at a high single digit growth rate through 2016, fueled by digital deadlines and high definition upgrade revenues. Digital mandates are anticipated to fuel immediate demand for video encoders in Asia, particularly China, with HD and other advanced compression format upgrades being the real market drivers.

    In addition, WinterGreen Research predicts that digital asset content management markets worldwide are anticipated to reach $558.6 million by 2014. This market growth is a direct result of movements to leverage the Internet as a channel, respond to implementation of broadband networks for video and image transmission, create automated marketing systems implementation, and leverage market opportunities brought by the ability to have data sent over portable wireless devices. Disparate changes in the presentation of video and image content promise to drive market growth.

    "Kevin is a welcome addition to the ViewCast family," said John Hammock, ViewCast's Vice President of Sales. "He is an experienced professional with a successful track record of building and managing businesses in China and the Asia-Pacific region for leading multinationals."

    Dowd brings to ViewCast a significant network of relationships among the largest manufacturing and service organizations in the region and at the highest levels of local and central governments in China and throughout Asia. He joins ViewCast from RGB Networks, a provider of video solutions to the cable and IPTV industries, where he served as Regional Director for the Asia-Pacific region and was responsible for developing sales throughout the APAC region, developing effective channel partnerships and direct sales to operators in China, Taiwan, Korea, SE Asia, Australia/New Zealand and India, and multinational Chinese OEM partners, including Huawei and ZTE. His previous work experience spans various companies, including Kasenna Inc, deCarta Inc, Verilink Corporation, Aethra Telecommunications Systems, Asialink Technologies, Accord Networks Inc., Polycom, Inc. (Polycom Network Division) and STT Ltd., Shanghai, China.

    March 2, 2011 – ViewCast CEO Updates Corporate Progress

    — ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST),ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media over enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, today announced that the Company had a strong fourth quarter of 2010, the third consecutive quarter of substantial year-over-year revenue growth. ViewCast management expects to continue significant annual growth for 2011 and looks forward to introducing new products and features along with establishing additional strategic business partnerships throughout the year and into 2012, according to President and CEO Dave Stoner. Full financial results for the 2010 fourth quarter and year will be announced at the end of March.

    "Once again we achieved steady, substantial fourth quarter and year-over-year revenue growth," Stoner said. "Thanks to the recovery of the economy, our investments in product development and an influx of talented senior management and staff, we believe we are on track in 2011 to enjoy the best year for digital media product sales in ViewCast's history."

    Stoner outlined some of the major accomplishments of 2010, including:

    • A record year for business with ViewCast's largest OEM customer.
    • The enthusiastic customer response to the launch of the Niagara 4100, a rugged, portable streaming media appliance that delivers high-definition (HD) video from virtually any location.
    • Addition of Apple HTTP Live Streaming for the iPhone and iPad to the Niagara encoding platform.
    • New experienced senior leadership in sales, business development and product development.

    Stoner's positive outlook for 2011 is based on a variety of market and other factors. He said, "The data we see on emerging customer activities indicates that we are returning to a solid base with more normal seasonal purchasing patterns. That indicates to us another strong year of growth with the first quarter showing the least strength as annual plans take shape, followed by steady growth in the balance of the year as those customer plans are executed. We also anticipate the kick-off of at least one new large customer relationship in the first half of 2011 reinforcing that pattern."

    According to new analysis from Frost & Sullivan, digital mandates are anticipated to fuel immediate demand for video encoders in Western Europe, with HD and other advanced compression format upgrades being the real market drivers. ViewCast is poised to capitalize on this opportunity with its high-performance, easy-to-use solutions for webcasting, mobile streaming and Internet TV, and innovative capabilities such as high definition to standard definition switching-on-the-fly, widescreen signaling, bitmap overlay, de-interlacing, inverse telecine, and a wide range of other professional features.

    Stoner continued, "Substantial new business opportunities exist in the market and our products are well positioned to capture those sales opportunities identified. We believe by increasing our sales reach into the market and feet on the street, more sales opportunities will be generated under our capable sales leadership; such initiatives will likely translate into continued and accelerated revenue growth."

    That confidence has been reflected by private investors including a ViewCast board member resulting in the Company's recent $750,000 equity raise at the end of 2010. The capital added a little kick start to accelerate the addition of sales staff and increase lead generation programs besides providing additional operational working capital. Already, the expansion of the Company sales force into a truly global unit with new team members in Europe and a local presence in the Asia-Pacific region has been accomplished.

    "We have methodically built a foundation for another growth year in 2011," Stoner concluded. "Our strategy continues to be to expand our global sales footprint by enhancing our internal sales team, partnering with key global distributors and seeking strategic merger and acquisition prospects, while at the same time investing in product development to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving marketplace."

    December 21, 2010 - ViewCast's Niagara 2120 Streaming Media Appliance Goes Backpacking with Go-Live's New Ultra Portable Broadcasting System

    —ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media over enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, today announced that Israeli-based Go-Live has selected ViewCast's Niagara® 2120 streaming media appliance for its Go-Live broadcasting Kit®, a portable, light-weight broadcast device that transmits high-quality live video on the internet via a fully mobile and wireless workflow.

    A true end-to-end solution, the Go-Live Kit allows real-time, professional-quality Flash® H.264 streaming over 3G networks via cellular modem, and is alternatively available with Windows Media 9 support. Offering "push button" simplicity for live, on-location broadcasting and simple IP-based log-in controls, the Go-Live Kit is both easy to use and maintain. Best of all, it fits conveniently in its own backpack and weighs less than 14 lbs., so that it can be easily carried by a single cameraman. The Kit virtually eliminates reliance on expensive satellites and mobile studios, enabling news agencies, TV stations and other production facilities to produce live news events from any location on the globe utilizing available mobile infrastructure.

    "When we considered the core streaming appliance that would power our portable broadcasting kit, we decided to buy rather than try to develop the core encoder ourselves. This saved us significant amounts of time and money, and allowed us to focus on the product's key peripheral devices,"
    said Eitan Ortal, CEO and CTO of Go-Live.

    "The Niagara 2120 was primarily chosen due to its portability, small form factor and price, but it was as if the Niagara 2120 was built specifically for us," continued Ortal. "It had everything we needed: accessibility, high-quality video encoding, rigid structure, and intuitive operation. We are proud to say that our Kit is now the most reliable platform we offer. It streams in even the most demanding environments, and offers spectacular image quality and long battery life thanks to the core Niagara 2120 encoder."

    "Go-Live's novel backpack-contained broadcasting system exemplifies the innovation and agility that ViewCast strives to cultivate with our high-performance, portable Niagara encoders," said ViewCast President and CEO Dave Stoner. "By enabling broadcasters to capture and stream live action wherever it happens without compromising performance or video resolution, ViewCast and Go-Live are helping to push the boundaries of streaming media applications."

    November 2, 2010 - UPS's Digital Asset Management System, Powered by ViewCast, Wins Createasphere's Inaugural DAMMY Award for Best Storage, Archive and/or Preservation Solution

    — ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media over enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, today announced that UPS's Communications Digital Asset Management (DAM) system, powered by ViewCast Media Platform (VMp™) Digital Asset Management software, was the recent recipient of a 2010 DAMMY Award in the category of Best Storage, Archive and/or Preservation Solution. Winners of the inaugural event were announced at Createasphere on September 24, 2010.

    "This DAMMY Award is well-deserved recognition of a truly innovative storage, archive and media management solution," said Suzan Sherburn, Director of Brand Management for UPS. "By combining the ViewCast Media Platform with the UPS DAM team's commitment to preservation and access, we've created a highly customized DAM system that improves global communications and ensures consistency of the UPS brand, while preserving our assets and enabling the creation of new assets that will have lasting importance to the company."

    For seven years, ViewCast has played a key role in the design, implementation and success of the UPS Communications DAM system, which leverages the capabilities of VMp Production to manage the UPS Brand Exchange® website. UPS Brand Exchange, which launched in 2003, is the official online resource for the tools that UPS employees and brand communicators need to effectively communicate the UPS brand. It also enables customers, sponsored organizations, and other third parties to obtain branded materials.

    "As a Fortune 50 corporation, UPS manages a complex array of global operations and facilities," said Dave Stoner, ViewCast President and CEO. "VMp is able to address UPS' diverse operations and cross-functional objectives, while providing the flexibility to support the company's unique DAM requirements as their business needs, objectives and applications continue to evolve."

    With the help of ViewCast, Brand Exchange was developed into three distinct DAM portals representing three levels of access to DAM assets. The DAM team also insisted on core preservation principals in metadata modeling to repurpose existing assets in order to save the company money. VMp's ingest process was able to collect metadata from the company's varied systems and integrate the UPS library with the DAM system, porting SQL data into the XML DAM. Today the UPS system has six metadata models – one each for photos, documents, graphics/logos, video, web, and reports. These models are continually refined to meet the needs of users, and training for both portal use and metadata creation is frequently scheduled.

    Improved workflow and a streamlined brand request/approval process resulted in an immediate return on investment. Benefits extended beyond cost savings to include stronger integration between UPS's communications departments, and easier employee access to the most recent versions of guidelines, office templates, legal documentation, photography and other materials needed to present the UPS brand consistently around the world.

    About the DAMMY Awards

    Createasphere launched the DAMMY Awards in 2010 to recognize excellence in digital asset management. They acknowledge achievement and resourcefulness in DAM, recognizing pioneering individuals and organizations that have created new revenue opportunities, efficient workflows, exceptional storage and archive solutions, and more. Createasphere held the first annual DAMMY Awards on September 24, 2010. http://www.createasphere.com/En/dammys.html

MLG provides three concurrent live broadcast streams in multiple resolutions from its events, which take place throughout the year at various locations nationwide. Osprey 700e's ability to maintain consistent performance and stability throughout HD broadcasts that can run up to 62 hours is critical to the success of MLG's event coverage, precluding the need to reboot or cycle through encoders. For MLG's 50th anniversary event in Raleigh, NC, fans consumed over 2.3 million streams and 825,000 hours of video over the 60 hour long broadcast, all powered by ViewCast's ultra-reliable Osprey 700e HD cards.

    Renowned for their performance, reliability and management versatility, ViewCast's award-winning Osprey 700e HD cards provide advanced capabilities such as dual SD/HD support with seamless on-the-fly signal switching, and the ability to feed multiple encoders (RealVideo®, Windows Media®, Adobe® Flash® and MPEG-4) at the same time in any combination.

    "Major League Gaming's ability to seamlessly meld online gaming with live event streaming distinguishes the company as a true pioneer in the digital media marketplace," said ViewCast President and CEO Dave Stoner. "For organizations seeking to push the boundaries of live competitive event coverage – real or virtual – ViewCast provides the high performance HD capture and streaming solutions they need to ensure a world-class online viewing experience."

Ruggedized and compact for on-the-go mobility and featuring ViewCast's easy-to-use system controls, the Niagara 4100 enables the ingest and transformation of high-definition (HD) video for delivery to the web, from virtually any location.

    "Once the exclusive domain of professional studios and broadcasters, high-definition programming is now within reach for any organization with the desire to capture and stream live action wherever it happens," said ViewCast President and CEO Dave Stoner. "With the Niagara 4100, we've synthesized our best-in-class streaming capabilities and rich system design expertise to elevate the state-of-the-art for on-location streaming.

Organizations spanning broadcasting, athletics, corporate enterprise, government, higher education, and worship can quickly and easily equip for on-location streaming in even the most demanding environments, yielding new opportunities to expand viewership and associated marketing and sponsorship revenue.

    With the ability to simultaneously stream in multiple resolutions at multiple data rates in multiple streaming formats – including MPEG-4, Adobe® Flash® H.264, Windows Media® (Silverlight® compatible) and Apple® HTTP Live (iPhone) – Niagara 4100 users are afforded the broadest possible range of streaming options to reach the broadest possible audience. The Niagara 4100 can ingest standard-definition (SD) or HD video sources through its SDI input, and can accommodate a variety of audio input formats, including embedded SDI, AES/EBU, and balanced or unbalanced stereo.

    Next month at IBC 2010 in Amsterdam, ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media over broadband, enterprise and mobile networks, will showcase its latest software and digital media management solutions, designed to optimize the management, scheduling and online delivery of rich media content. ViewCast products that will be showcased at the event include Niagara SCX® 6.2 streaming media management software with support for HTTP-based adaptive streaming to Apple® mobile devices; SchedulStream® scheduling software used to schedule and automate the timing of live streaming events; and ViewCast Media Platform (VMp™), a unified framework that helps organizations manage the full life cycle of their digital media.

    "ViewCast's commitment to meeting the unique needs of digital content generators, distributors, and consumers is stronger than ever, and this is reflected in the breakthrough solutions that we've introduced to the market in 2010," said ViewCast President and CEO Dave Stoner. "Our ever-accelerating pace of innovation ensures that our customers are equipped with the industry's most powerful, flexible streaming media and digital media management capabilities, and this will be on full display at IBC 2010."

    Niagara SCX® 6.2

    is an enhanced version of the Company's powerful streaming media management software that supports HTTP-based adaptive streaming to Apple® iPhone®, iPad® and iTouch® mobile devices. New features include integrated segmenting, adaptive bit-rate encoding, support for CDN authentication protocols, and built-in AES-128 encryption. Niagara SCX software supports all of the most popular media formats, including Adobe Flash Dynamic Streaming, Windows Media/Silverlight, 3GPP mobile and others. By eliminating the need for an external iPhone stream segmenter, ViewCast has simplified encoding workflows and reduced overall system costs.

    At the heart of Niagara SCX 6.2 is the new "Adaptive Live Media Publisher" component, which simultaneously creates multiple H.264 video streams that are time-aligned to support delivery in adaptive formats. Adaptive formats dramatically improve the viewer experience by allowing the media player to dynamically select the appropriate bit rate for each viewer's available bandwidth, eliminating "re-buffering" delays.

    SchedulStream®

    scheduling software enables users to schedule and manage the date and time of live streaming events or multiple streaming sessions on ViewCast Niagara encoding appliances. It simplifies the digital archiving of video content and remote management when used in conjunction with Niagara encoding appliances and Niagara SCX software. SchedulStream optimizes scheduling workflows by using streaming templates established for specific business applications. By automating both live and on-demand encoding and streaming functions, SchedulStream enables companies and organizations to be more productive in their use of live encoding systems. As a result, it is the perfect scheduling solution for broadcast, education, and government users who create content for webcasting, video on demand (VOD), and distance learning purposes.

    ViewCast Media Platform (VMp™)

    is a unified framework that helps organizations manage the full life cycle of their digital media. VMp supports online video, including content acquisition, transformation, indexing, workflow and distribution. Together with the Portal, Live and Production modules, VMp provides comprehensive support for live video sources and events as well as archived or on-demand content. Organizations from all sectors - especially media and entertainment, education, retail/CPG, finance and government can build new audiences and engage with customers like never before by delivering IP video to all "three screens," building brand equity by "going viral," training and communicating among distributed workforces more effectively, and collapsing production cycles that can help get products to market faster.

Always a popular music destination, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is geared to the tastes of music lovers -- mostly rockers -- of all ages, and regularly hosts live acts, such as Carlos Santana, the Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Alicia Keys, David Bowie, Snoop Dogg, Nine Inch Nails and The Killers.

    The property recently underwent a $750 million makeover and expansion, including The Joint concert hall. When the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas asked its digital signage vendor, Core Technology, Inc. to recommend an appliance to stream high definition video as part of the enhanced audio-visual system in The Joint, Core Technology engineers recommended the ViewCast product line without hesitation. At the time, ViewCast had also just released its new Niagara 7500 high definition streaming media appliance - an ideal choice for The Joint's unique and demanding broadcasting application.

    "Core Technology's confident recommendation stemmed from its previous positive experience with ViewCast products, most particularly the ViewCast Osprey video capture cards, used extensively in school systems for multi-cast web streaming of live video," said Jeff Guyot, Director of Network Engineering, Core Technology, Inc. "We know we can rely on ViewCast products for continuous, uninterrupted, exceptional quality video streaming. Their quality is unmatched in the industry."

    Developers of The Joint were equally impressed with ViewCast products and the ability of the Niagara 7500 to faithfully and beautifully stream HD video. "The Niagara 7500 is an exceptional product, and has exceeded our expectations," said Sean Filstrup, Chief Video Engineer, The Joint. "We are impressed with the reliability of the Niagara 7500 to stream HD formatted video."

    "The digital capture and streaming of live events such as the concerts, athletic matches, the opera and other dramatic productions have become more commonplace and will soon represent a core segment of our entertainment choices," said Dave Stoner, ViewCast President and CEO. "Venues across the nation and world that are looking to promote, market and expand revenue opportunities via streamed events will need to acquire technology like Niagara and other media management tools. Our goal is to deliver the most innovative and reliable encoding and media management products to these enterprises."

    Today The Joint's new state-of-the-art sound system delivers an unforgettable live music experience to the intimate 4,000-seat venue. A superior video system and more versatile stage enhances each production - creating an experience that surpasses all expectations and makes The Joint the most dynamic, sophisticated and authentic venue in Las Vegas.
