ViewCast Adds Streaming Audio to Popular EZStream Service Offerings

"EZStream made low-cost streaming video easy for any business that might not have the time, resources or necessary skills to incorporate this effective new communications medium into its Web site. Our new service similarly simplifies the incorporation of streaming audio for businesses that only require Internet audio,'' said George Platt, ViewCast president and chief executive officer. ``The market has indicated that there are times when streaming audio is a sufficient communications vehicle for an organization's messaging needs, and we are responding by offering an audio-only component to our EZStream services. What we've done -- as we did with video -- is make it a simple and affordable process for the end user."

Platt said that religious organizations -- with archives of audio-only sermons and other teachings -- comprise another potentially attractive vertical market for the new EZStream audio service. Platt also pointed to businesses that wish to communicate with shareholders in accordance with the SEC's Fair Disclosure regulation E-mail marketers and marketing campaign service providers as prime consumers of the new audio-only option.

EZStream combines software and specially packaged services that enable businesses or organizations to capture, edit, encode, publish, host and deliver streaming video or audio content on Web sites. With EZStream, communicating via audio online is as easy as click, create and listen.

"Because audio can be easily transported via the Internet to virtually any Internet-enabled PC, there is no issue with the end user's connection speed or processor power," said Platt. "Even 28K dialup users enjoy CD-quality audio. Most PCs are already equipped with sound cards and microphones, so users already have everything they need to create audio messages and include it in bulk E-mails and on their Web pages."

Prior to the introduction of EZStream, getting audio or video on the Internet involved a multitude of separate steps -- everything from capturing, encoding, and editing the video or audio to setting up streaming servers, intricate Web site coding and negotiating for favorable bandwidth rates. EZStream automates the entire process into a single, point-and-click procedure performed on an ordinary PC using the EZStream Wizard. ViewCast Online's high-performance content delivery network then delivers a high-quality audio stream.
