ViewCast�s New Control Software Automates Encoding Functions for Windows Media� and RealNetworks� Encoders

DALLAS — Jan 14, 2005 — ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB:VCST - News), today announced that Niagara� SchedulStream�, a new automation software for scheduling and management of Windows Media� and RealNetworks� RealVideo� encoding sessions, is available for shipment. SchedulStream is an upgrade to ViewCast�s Niagara SCX software, which provides an encoder management interface for Niagara Streaming Systems. Additionally, Niagara SCX coupled with SchedulStream features compatibility with Harris/Louth media management and automation systems, a standard communications protocol for legacy broadcast studio and post- production equipment.

Niagara SchedulStream increases business productivity by enabling the remote management and scheduling of streaming and encoding servers. By utilizing streaming templates established for specific applications, the software allows the user to optimize scheduling workflows. In addition to automating encoding schedules, ViewCast�s SchedulStream simplifies the digital archiving of video content, allowing users to store content locally as well as through network locations.

�Scheduling and remote management of the encoding operation streamlines workflow and increases video- capture productivity by allowing one operator to manage an array of encoding systems,� said George Platt, president and chief executive officer at ViewCast Corporation. �SchedulStream with Niagara SCX adds tremendous value for high-volume encoding operations such as post-production houses; broadcast studio; Web-based training facilities, news, sports, and entertainment delivery service bureaus; and video archiving and cataloging departments.�

Applications for Niagara SCX with SchedulStream include coordination of multiple encoders for training sessions; remote scheduling of classroom or conference room encoding; scheduling batch encoding for broadband; dial-up, and mobile customers; and the simultaneous encoding of Windows Media and RealNetworks formats for distance learning applications.

Niagara SchedulStream is included as a standard feature on all new Niagara Streaming Systems. The Niagara SchedulStream upgrade is available for users with installed Niagara Streaming Systems.
