ViewCast Online Delivers Business Streaming Solution with StreamStory(SM)

Online service allows companies to easily add streaming video to communications mix

DALLAS (May 16, 2001) – ViewCast Corporation (NASDAQ: VCST), a leading provider of Internet and networked video solutions, introduced today StreamStorySM, the first service that enables even small businesses to add professionally produced streaming videos to their Web sites easily and inexpensively. StreamStory is available online at the company’s video solutions portal, www.viewcastonline.com.

“StreamStory is for businesses that have a message but don’t have the video content nor do they have the creation skills, technical background or video delivery infrastructure to get it done,” said John Caulfield, president of ViewCast Online. “StreamStory enables businesses to do this, all online at the ViewCast Online portal, with point-and-click ease. If a company has Internet access and e-mail, it can add streaming video to its Web site.”

The StreamStory online service provides a total turnkey solution for businesses and organizations by creating, capturing, editing, encoding and publishing video content at price points that are attractive and practical for any size company.

“StreamStory is priced in such a way that streaming video is now an attractive and affordable alternative to other mainstream Web site graphical enhancements, such as Flash animation,” said Caulfield.

Adding streaming video to a Web site is simple with StreamStory. Once a business completes a simple online registration process at viewcastonline.com, it sends its message in script form and chooses from a variety of speakers to deliver the message. The video is professionally produced and a link is provided to the business to be pasted onto the company’s Web site within 72 hours, and the company’s new professionally produced video is published and online for immediate viewing.

The video is hosted on ViewCast’s high-performance content delivery network, which eliminates the need for additional storage capacity on a business’s server, ensuring that the company’s Internet or Intranet performance is not compromised. The StreamStory online service also provides the business with granular statistical tracking of views with online reports that can be broken down within divisions or departments of any given business.

“In evaluating the needs of business, we felt it was imperative to provide sufficient flexibility within our database to meet the needs not only of the enterprise, but also individual departments within the enterprise,” said Caulfield. “With this level of granularity, a marketing department could have its own way to use the ViewCast Online service, distinct from the human resources department, with separate content and billing packages for each.”

“As broadband access continues its rapid and exponential increase, StreamStory delivers the power of streaming video communications to an underserved and growing market of small businesses with an Internet or e-commerce presence,” Caulfield said.
