First-ever interactive steaming video meeting between Gov. Perry and Texas newspaper editors

DALLAS (Aug. 14, 2001) - ViewCast Corporation (NASDAQ: VCST), the video communications leader, will provide the streaming media technology for the first interactive, steaming video editorial board meeting between a Texas governor and state newspaper editorial board members.

The meeting between Gov. Rick Perry and editorial board members from across the state will take place Aug. 16 during the 4th Annual Texas Transportation Summit (http://www.ci.irving.tx.us/Summit/index.htm) at the Omni Mandalay Hotel in Irving, Texas. While newspaper editors from across the state will be in attendance at the summit, editors unable to attend will be able to access the meeting - and ask questions - via real-time streaming media at a password-protected Web site provided by ViewCast.

The interactive editorial board meeting, to be moderated by Rena Pederson, vice president, editorial page editor of the Dallas Morning News, is believed to be the first such innovative use of streaming media in the country.

Approximately 1,000 public officials and Texas business leaders will attend the three-day event, which will feature more than 100 speakers, including U.S. Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta.
