ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of professional-quality video over IP and mobile networks, today announced that French-German cultural channel ARTE (Association Relative à la Télévision Européenne) has purchased ViewCast’s unified, end-to-end digital asset management solution, ViewCast Media Server (VMS). VMS is based on the technology assets acquired from Ancept in March of this year. ARTE’s New-Technology/Multimedia sector, which manages the back office of various ARTE Internet sites, will use VMS to manage all of the department’s video and media assets. VMS will also support ARTE’s future video portal, which will ultimately serve as the entrance point to all of ARTE’s existing online media offerings, such as the award-winning ARTE+7 service.

“We currently enjoy an excellent professional relationship with ViewCast and are successfully using several Niagara Pro encoders to deliver high quality content via our ARTE+7 website,” said Mathias Weiler, leader of the New Technology/Multimedia sector at ARTE. “After evaluating a number of digital asset management solutions, we determined that VMS offers the advanced technical features that are critical for our unique and highly automated environment. These capabilities, together with the future possibility of seamless integration with our existing Niagara Pro encoders, distinguished VMS as the best, long-term investment option. ViewCast’s innovative technology will enable us to manage our growing media asset repository with greater efficiency and flexibility, and elevate our Internet presence to the next level.“

ViewCast President and CEO Dave Stoner said, “Companies like ARTE are experiencing a rapid proliferation of rich media assets that need to be managed effectively and intelligently across the organization so as to maximize productivity. Our Niagara Pro encoders have already proven their value by enabling ARTE to simplify its broadcast processes for the ARTE+7 site. The integration of our VMS digital asset management solution will further streamline ARTE’s workflows and provide them with the end-to-end infrastructure they need to successfully bring their new web portal to fruition.“

With the flexibility to transcode between all common media formats and automate content delivery across heterogeneous production systems and distribution mediums, VMS equips ARTE to manage key business processes with minimal complexity. Seamless integration with ARTE’s existing production infrastructure further extends the value of VMS, helping ARTE save time and resources that might otherwise have been devoted to labor intensive system integration efforts and unnecessary technology expenditures.

ViewCast VMS provides a unified, end-to-end digital asset management platform that offers the power and scalability to manage the entire media lifecycle; it can ingest, manage and deliver video and other digital assets anywhere over the network. VMS utilizes IBM Content Manager as its middleware and repository and includes plug-ins that integrate with leading products, such as Telestream FlipFactory™, to provide a closed-loop and managed process for ingesting, transcoding and indexing audio and video content. It also provides sophisticated content distribution functionality, including the ability to schedule the delivery of content for a specific date and time. Users can also edit content directly through the web interface using browser-based editors, eliminating the need to download assets to the desktop and allowing quick and easy repurposing of video content through multiple platforms, i.e., broadband, mobile, traditional broadcast, etc.

“ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading hardware and software for the transformation, management and delivery of professional quality video over IP and mobile networks, today announced new enhancements to its versatile Niagara SCX® streaming media management software.

The software will be available on ViewCast’s Niagara Pro, Niagara Pro II, Niagara GoStream SURF, and Niagara 7500 streaming media systems, and is also available as an upgrade for existing owners of ViewCast streaming appliances.“

Niagara SCX Version 6.1 adds key advanced features, including:

• Live encoding via the Adobe Flash H.264 format. Niagara SCX 6.1 software streams in H.264 Flash via the Real Time Message Protocol (RTMP) - a proprietary protocol developed by Adobe Systems designed for high performance transmission of audio, video, and data between Adobe Flash platform technologies. H.264 support enables Niagara customers to deliver rich, real-time Flash experiences for a broad range of streaming applications, such as the web-based delivery of sports, news and entertainment broadcasts, video-on-demand and streaming to mobile devices. An example application is the use of Dynamic streaming which incorporates seamless switching of bitrates to the end user to assure an optimal viewing experience.

• Profile grouping. Niagara SCX 6.1 allows the assignment of multiple encoding profiles together in a single group. Utilizing ViewCast’s exclusive architecture, featuring simple “A-B-C” button selection, customers can select any pre-defined encoding profile group, and with the push of a single button, begin streaming to any number of destinations in any number of compression formats simultaneously over the Internet. This capability is particularly important for broadcasters seeking to stream in both high and low bit rates to accommodate a wider audience.

• Multiple Stream Redundancy (MSR). Niagara SCX 6.1 can connect a media stream to a Content Delivery Network (CDN) using multiple entry points, each with unique credentials and delivered to different locations. This robust connection method significantly reduces the risk of interrupting a live event, and ViewCast accomplishes this with little system overhead.

• Automatic Stream Reconnect (ASR). A crucial component that protects the integrity of live video broadcasts, ASR automatically reconnects the user’s stream if the Internet connection is temporarily lost or the stream is dropped.

ViewCast Niagara SCX 6.1 provides a single, unified user experience for all of its supported streaming codecs, equipping users with unmatched flexibility to reach their audience via the most popular media formats. Users can capture and stream in Adobe Flash H.264, Windows Media®, Silverlight®, RealVideo®, 3GPP and other formats – simultaneously, in any combination – via one easy-to-use interface.

Niagara SCX 6.1 offers an unprecedented level of local or remote control. Users can view the captured video on-the-fly, check and adjust key audio and video settings, select A/V inputs and configure profiles that determine capture size, frame rate, data bit rate speeds and CPU loads. Users can even manage bitmap overlays (e.g., logos, graphics) on their streams, including transparency and positioning. With the Niagara SCX Web Services SDK, you can harness all of the power of the Niagara SCX “engine” into your own software application.

ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media over IP and mobile networks, today announced that the University of Michigan’s Digital Media Commons department has expanded its ViewCast Media Server (VMS) implementation to support the growing usage of the University’s BlueStream digital media infrastructure by faculty, students, and staff of the Ann Arbor campus. With VMS digital asset management (DAM) capabilities at the heart of the University’s BlueStream platform, users are enabled to manage and protect their digital media assets while fostering greater collaboration and productivity among program participants.

“The popularity and usefulness of BlueStream, a centralized utility designed to streamline media intensive work across the complete spectrum of research, teaching, learning, and community service, is increasing,” said Rob McIntyre Instructional Consultant, Digital Media Commons, Duderstadt Center. “This infrastructure is currently available to all 19 academic units on campus and more users are coming on board every day. By expanding our partnership with ViewCast, we can respond to the growing demand for media management project space, underpinned with advanced, VMS-enabled digital asset management capabilities.“

“The University of Michigan is a clear leader in media production, management and distribution capabilities for academic applications,” said Dave Stoner, President and CEO of ViewCast. “It would be hard to find a more innovative and practical example of how digital asset management can be utilized to support learning initiatives on campus. We applaud their dedication and ingenuity“

In 2003, the University of Michigan developed a comprehensive DAM framework that would enable users to ingest, manage, store, and publish digital media. This infrastructure, built upon IBM Enterprise Content Manager (ECM) and ViewCast Media Server, later became the backbone for the University’s BlueStream media management platform.

Today, BlueStream supports some of the most media-intensive projects underway at the University, and interoperates with other enterprise-level academic tools and environments to provide users with automated media management services and capabilities. Numerous academic projects involving digital audio and video, images and documents are produced and evaluated throughout the year. For example, BlueStream is currently being used by the University’s College of Literature, Science, and the Arts to house thousands of digital images and video files; as well as by the School of Education to store videos of classroom work, which are used to analyze and maximize the effectiveness of teaching styles. BlueStream has also been utilized to provide a proof of concept for the delivery service of a dedicated lecture capture system.

VMS provides a single, end-to-end digital asset management solution to manage the entire media life cycle, enabling users to ingest, transcode, schedule, archive, manage, search, publish and deliver video and other digital assets anywhere over the network. VMS utilizes IBM ECM as its middleware and repository, facilitating seamless user management, security, data modeling, storage management, workflow and integration with other enterprise systems. As a result, users are enabled to model the most complex business processes from beginning to end, defining how content, tasks and communications will flow and how the process must interact with external systems.

ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media over IP and mobile networks, will showcase the two newest entries in its Niagara® family of streaming media appliances next week at IBC 2009 in Amsterdam. These highly-anticipated systems – the Niagara 2120, a low-priced Adobe® Flash® H.264 appliance, and the next-generation Niagara 7500 HD appliance – are expected to achieve widespread adoption in the European market because of their innovative features and growing demand for ViewCast’s world-class streaming media technology in the region.

Europe is experiencing unprecedented growth in Internet streaming technology, voice-over-internet (VOIP), and television services through broadband lines. Continued growth is expected particularly in broadcast, telecom, education and corporate communications - all sectors in which ViewCast’s plug-and-play solutions stand out among competing products.

“Many of Europe’s largest, most prominent broadcasting organizations rely on ViewCast’s Niagara appliances for powerful and intuitive streaming media capabilities,” said ViewCast President and CEO Dave Stoner. “With the recent introductions of the Niagara 2120 and Niagara 7500, ViewCast is extending our leadership in the streaming media appliance market and equipping customers of all levels of technical expertise with advanced, feature-rich streaming media platforms to elevate the quality and impact of their Internet video programming.”

Both the Niagara 2120 and Niagara 7500 appliances come standard with ViewCast SimulStream® technology, which enables a single video source to generate several video streams simultaneously – in multiple resolutions and bit rates - with each stream configured differently for laptops, cell phones, or mobile devices. Stoner noted that the rapidly expanding use of streaming video in cell phones, PDAs and other mobile wireless electronic devices has created a significant market for ViewCast.

“Hand-held devices such as cell phones are proving to be a very important streaming medium for which our products play a key role,” Stoner added.

The Niagara 2120, a low-cost, easy to use streaming media appliance that supports H.264 streaming via the Adobe® Flash® platform, is designed for organizations in corporate, government, education, worship and athletic settings seeking a plug-and-play platform for streaming video content across enterprise networks or over the Internet.

ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of professional-quality video over IP and mobile networks, today announced that French-German cultural channel ARTE (Association Relative à la Télévision Européenne) has purchased ViewCast’s unified, end-to-end digital asset management solution, ViewCast Media Server (VMS).

ViewCast’s Niagara GoStream SURF solution also played an important role in Fine Gael’s communication strategy during its Ard Fheis conclave in Dublin, on April 3 and 4. The party used the GoStream SURF to deliver live feeds and commentaries from this key event. The ViewCast solution allows Fine Gael to create a much stronger presence on the Internet,” said Michael McLoughlin, Strategic Manager, Fine Gael. “We can communicate much more
effectively with our audience and also react much faster to political events as they unfold. In effect we’ve got our own self-contained TV channel.”

“Fine Gael was originally looking for a portable streaming device that was cost effective, easy to setup and portable enough for use in remote locations, and they found such a solution with ViewCast. We are confident that the GoStream SURF will enable Fine Gael to quickly enhance its political traction and stand out within the Irish political arena,” said Bryan Malone, Managing Director, Tyrell.

McLoughlin from Fine Gael added, “Tyrell’s support and assistance has helped us to get up and running quickly and smoothly. With the ViewCast solution, there’s no reliance on expensive third-party encoding companies or rental companies - we’re now fully self sufficient and have incredible flexibility. We’re also looking forward to rallying our constituents at our local elections with innovative activities during the election campaign, including a members-only broadcast from the party leader, interviews and video profiles of key candidates.”

“Today, the Internet has become more accessible than ever before. Literally any enterprise, school, government agency, religious or charitable organization can leverage this new communication medium to broadcast an event or meeting with Webcasting without massive capital outlays,” said Dave Stoner, ViewCast President and CEO. “We’re delighted that Fine Gael is using the ViewCast Niagara GoStream SURF to expand their reach to better serve their organization through Webcasting their live events and meetings.”

The Niagara GoStream SURF is a powerful solution for streaming events from demanding environments, offering simultaneous Internet and mobile streaming in multiple resolutions, multiple formats and at multiple bit rates. It is a small, light, yet extremely durable self-contained unit that enables users to broadcast on location or anywhere they can access an IP network.

ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading hardware and software for the transformation, management and delivery of professional-quality video over IP and mobile networks, today announced that French-German cultural channel ARTE (Association Relative à la Télévision Européenne) is using the Niagara® Pro streaming media encoder to deliver programming via its popular ARTE+7 Web site. Through a highly automated workflow built around the Niagara Pro encoder, the award-winning ARTE+7 service makes geo-localized programming available for seven days immediately following airing on ARTE’s traditional broadcast platforms.

“As the Internet becomes an increasingly popular platform for nonlinear access to an ever-growing store of video content, the quality requirements for delivering this content grow more stringent,” said Mathias Weiler, leader of the New Technology/Multimedia sector at ARTE. “We are committed to providing the same quality of service on the Internet that viewers expect from our broadcast services, and after a market study and evaluating different available encoder platforms, we chose to work with ViewCast and its German systems integrator Meet-Competence GmbH.”

The ARTE+7 site currently experiences 3 million page views and 850,000 visits with 1.2 million video streams powered by ViewCast technology each month. ARTE generates approximately 2,500 program files per month with durations varying from 15 minutes up to four hours. Each encoded program receives, on average, 6,000 views. The ARTE+7 portal and the product integration responsible for this success have been recognized with a number of awards, including a Content Management Practice Award at CeBIT 2008 and the Silver Medal for Design in the CMS-Awards December 2008 popular vote.

“ARTE is a pioneer in tapeless workflows, and the company has again simplified its broadcast processes using our technology,” said ViewCast President and CEO Dave Stoner. “As more broadcast operations migrate in this direction, the market for ViewCast encoding and digital asset management solutions will continue to grow.”

The Niagara Pro is a professional dual-channel streaming media appliance designed for high-quality, high-resolution video capturing and streaming. Using five Niagara Pro systems, each of which is capable of encoding multiple formats simultaneously, ARTE takes the signal from the end of its broadcast chain and encodes it in real time, creating 300-kbps and 800-kbps Windows Media® files, a full D1 resolution file, and an Adobe® Flash® version, as well as a 30-second Flash trailer used on ARTE+7 to promote the program.

Close integration of the encoders with ARTE’s SGT broadcast automation system allows for a seamless workflow in which commands from automation are sent to control software which distributes the encoding load among Niagara Pro systems to ensure efficiency and provide encoder redundancy. Because ARTE typically offers content in both German and French, the two independent encoder channels per Niagara Pro system are valuable in streamlining the workflow.

ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading hardware and software for the transformation, management and delivery of professional quality video over IP and mobile networks, today announced they will be demonstrating the Niagara® 7500, their latest innovation in high-definition streaming, at NAB 2009. The Niagara 7500 is a powerful, feature-rich streaming appliance for Web-based delivery of high-definition video. Designed for the most demanding professional broadcasting applications and other professional-level high-definition video distribution requirements, the Niagara 7500 is a complete plug-and-play solution that enables users to quickly capture and broadcast premium quality audio and video to IP and mobile networks in multiple formats and at multiple bit rates – all simultaneously.

“The Niagara 7500 combines the latest multi-core processing power with ViewCast’s advanced video processing and comprehensive encoding capabilities enabling broadcasting professionals to deliver the highest definition, multi-standard video streaming experiences that today’s digital media marketplace demands,” said Dave Stoner, ViewCast President and CEO. “Even more significantly, our management tools simplify the complex workflows often associated with the transformation and delivery of HD sources to IP and mobile networks.”

The Niagara 7500 is a high-definition video-streaming appliance that brings a new level of quality and performance to professional broadcasting applications. It offers a sleek, innovative touch control interface that streamlines and simplifies operation. A brilliant high-resolution widescreen monitor on the front panel displays captured video, and multi-segment LED meters and a headphone jack are provided for audio monitoring.

The Niagara 7500 accepts standard or high-definition video through its SDI interface, and an SDI loop-out is provided to facilitate workflow. A key feature of its video processing capability is that it can switch-on-the-fly between standard and high-definition sources, without having to re-initialize the system. Audio inputs include analog stereo (balanced and unbalanced), two channels of AES/EBU, and eight stereo pairs of embedded SDI audio.

The Niagara 7500 also comes standard with ViewCast SimulStream® technology, which enables a single video source to generate several video streams all at once, with each stream configured differently for laptops, cell phones, or mobile devices. It also allows simultaneous streaming in many popular formats, including Windows Media™, VC-1, Silverlight™, Flash™, H.264, 3GPP mobile and more.

Closed-caption extraction and rendering, de-interlacing, and inverse telecine are standard on the Niagara 7500, as well as bitmap overlay, scaling and cropping. If its incoming signal is interrupted, the Niagara 7500 will even default to a standby message that can be customized by the user.

Like all professional-grade ViewCast streaming appliances, the Niagara 7500 comes standard with Niagara SCX® Pro, which allows remote management of all the key features of multiple units in the same easy-to-use interface, over the network. There’s also an available SDK that allows users to customize their experience, or interface with broadcast automation systems for highly customized applications.

NAB 2009
ViewCast will be demonstrating the Niagara 7500 along with the company’s latest products at NAB 2009, April 20-23, Booth SL6020, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of professional quality video over broadband and mobile networks, today announced that it had closed a transaction to purchase the assets of Ancept Media Server, LLC, a pioneer in digital asset management solutions. The transaction was finalized on March 13, 2009. ViewCast now has an expanded global business presence with a complete portfolio of solutions that encompasses live and on-demand video encoding, management and delivery.

ViewCast President and CEO Dave Stoner said, “Ancept’s proven and mature content management platform, combined with IBM asset management technology, has attracted top-notch customers. This acquisition is a strategic step towards expanding the size and capabilities of ViewCast while broadening our market and bringing a comprehensive, integrated solution to our respective customer bases.”

Stoner also said that the tough economy has not eliminated continuing growth in the demand for and use of streaming media as a vital new business tool. “In fact, the slowing economy has led companies to seek out efficiencies and to create new revenue streams, both of which are enabled by harnessing streaming media via our technologies,” he said.

With the addition of Ancept, ViewCast can present customers with an end-to-end solution for the transformation and management of media for any number of online uses. Stoner added, “We estimate that the market for our combined products and services is now approaching $1 billion annually and our sales and marketing teams are taking the steps necessary to immediately integrate our solutions platforms.”

Research firm Frost & Sullivan has estimated that the digital asset management market alone will reach $632 million in revenues in 2009, reflecting an anticipated compound average growth rate (CAGR) of 26 percent as the market continues to mature. ViewCast’s acquisition of Ancept combines two best-of-breed technologies in one of the markets still expanding today, creating a larger company with potential for an increased rate of future growth. The combination will provide participants in the digital media marketplace with an integrated provider and one-stop solution for all their video management needs. Stoner added, “The rapid expansion of these markets, especially toward high definition, more powerful and reliable performance, and greater ease of use, has underscored the need for structured, secure and scalable content management solutions delivered comprehensively, from one trusted provider. With the addition of Ancept, we can now very capably fill that role.”

The closing transaction was accomplished for a combination of $1.038 million in cash payments, issuance of 1,141,314 of restricted shares of ViewCast common stock and the assumption of $355,000 of deferred revenue liability, subject to final purchase price adjustments. Full details of the final terms of the transaction will be provided in a ViewCast Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC.

ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading hardware and software for the transformation and delivery of professional quality video over IP and mobile networks, today announced the release of the Niagara® 2100, the lowest priced video streaming appliance available on the market today with an MSRP of $3,995.00 (US). This latest addition to ViewCast’s acclaimed line of Niagara video streaming appliances offers exceptional ease-of-use while providing professional-grade value for government agencies, business enterprises and others who want to stream video over IP and mobile networks.

“In light of the economic challenges facing many organizations today, the Niagara 2100 is well timed, and represents an exceptional value in enabling Web-based video communications for a variety of applications” said ViewCast president and CEO Dave Stoner. “The Niagara 2100 captures, encodes, and streams video with plug-and-play simplicity via an easy-to-use Web interface. While the encoder includes many of the same powerful features found in ViewCast’s professional-grade streaming appliances, its programmable streaming profiles and convenient front-panel display allow educators, IT professionals and government officials to quickly and easily encode video for reliable live and on-demand streaming.”

Stoner added that continuing additions of new streaming technologies are part of the Company’s strategy to increase its presence in the video streaming market and develop a broader base of customers. The trend to streaming all types of programming and information over the Internet and mobile networks is beginning to accelerate, as more broadcasters and other content owners are seeking larger or more targeted viewing audiences. According to a recent forecast by Cisco Systems Cisco Visual Networking Index–Forecast and Methodology, 2007-2012; June 16, 2008), “IP traffic will nearly double every two years through 2012” and video traffic, now approximately one-quarter of all consumer Internet traffic, will account for 50 percent by 2012.

The Niagara 2100 enables easy, affordable entry into streaming and is well suited for a wide variety of uses including Webcasting city council meetings to community members, streaming and archiving of educational activities, and deploying executive messaging and online training for organizations. The Niagara 2100 is also an exceptional solution for the encoder requirements of many other streaming industry software and network providers and integrators to bundle with their products. The compact, self-contained unit fits neatly into fixed installations and provides the portability and stability necessary for on-location streaming. Like all Niagara appliances, the unit features image scaling, cropping, de-interlacing, inverse telecine and closed caption rendering.

This newest Niagara encoder accepts component, Y/C (S-Video), and composite video inputs, as well as balanced and unbalanced stereo audio inputs. And, as it comes with ViewCast SimulStream® technology, it can simultaneously stream multiple resolutions at multiple data rates in Windows Media format. The unit’s front-panel display confirms the presence of audio and video, apprises the user of streaming status, and allows simultaneous activation of multiple codecs from a single “stream” button.

ViewCast’s Niagara SCX® streaming media management software is integrated into the Niagara 2100 to enable management of live video broadcasting over the Internet and to mobile devices. The software enables desktop set-up and control over Niagara streaming systems positioned throughout an enterprise or anywhere on the network. As a result, the user can instantly see the status of all networked encoders, identify active encoding sessions, and control and monitor each individual stream.

ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading hardware and software for the transformation and delivery of professional-quality video over IP and mobile networks, today announced that its award-winning Osprey-700e HD video capture card is being used by DideoNET Co. Ltd. located in Seoul, Korea to enable streaming of live HD video that is comparable to conventional HD television broadcasts. The streaming video is delivered via DideoNET’s innovative SeeLive software encoder, part of the company’s SeeMedia series of multimedia solutions.

“Our goal in developing the SeeMedia series of products is to further multimedia convergence and to make the Internet available anywhere and anytime,” said Eric Chung, overseas business team manager at DideoNET. “To this end, the SeeLive software encoder streams HD video at low bit rates and low latency, allowing viewers to enjoy Internet-delivered video quality that rivals that of conventional TV broadcasts. Installed in our SeeLive solution, ViewCast’s powerful Osprey-700e HD video capture card provides the superior performance necessary for delivery of high-quality streaming HD content.”

“DideoNET has leveraged its advanced technology to develop and implement major streaming projects for government, industry, financial, education, and broadcast customers,” said ViewCast President and CEO Dave Stoner. “By making the Osprey-700e HD the preferred HD capture card for its SeeLive solution, DideoNET ensures high-quality HD streaming of live video.”

The Osprey-700e HD is an HD-SDI and SD-SDI A/V input card designed expressly for real-time capture in a 24/7-unattended environment. The card is capable of adapting automatically to incoming SD and HD standards without interrupting the encoding session, and it also provides advanced features required in broadcasting applications, such as cropping, watermark overlay, de-interlacing, and closed-caption extraction and rendering.

“DideoNET’s adoption of the Osprey 700e HD capture card provides ViewCast an additional entry into the important Asian, and specifically Korean markets, as well as another foothold in the burgeoning HD streaming market,” added Stoner.

ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading hardware and software for the transformation and delivery of professional quality video over IP and mobile networks, today announced that its Niagara Pro media encoder streamed the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards live over the Web to millions of viewers globally.

Supplied by Garland Partners Ltd (GPL) of the U.K., the Niagara Pro allowed fans to watch the 15th annual awards show, hosted Nov. 6 at Liverpool’s Echo Arena, on their computers and mobile devices. Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton hosted the show’s live Webcast, bringing red-carpet interviews with the stars and backstage reports to MTV’s multi-platform offering. An estimated 30 million viewers from more than 40 European countries plus China, India, and beyond, tuned in to this year’s award show.

“Every year something sensational happens at this awards show, and we wanted to ensure our audience could feel that they were part of the action as it occurred,” said Alec Hendry, director of Digital Media Operations & Development at MTV Networks Europe. “Last year, after we asked GPL to assist us in implementing a Web streaming solution for the event, we had 3.2 million video streams and a 35 percent increase over the previous year on unique visitors to our Web site. GPL had suggested we use the Niagara Pro, which was so reliable and easy-to-use that we immediately knew that would be our choice again this year.”

At the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards, GPL worked with ViewCast to assist MTV in covering the show’s dynamic performances and award presentations with two Niagara Pro units. Throughout the evening, the Niagara Pro media encoders provided professional-quality live streaming of Adobe® Flash® and Windows Media® Player 9 content, which in turn were delivered to Akamai for live streaming on www.mtvema.com.

“The MTV Europe Music Awards has been an exceedingly popular television event, and fans around the globe have quickly embraced the opportunity to view it live on their computers and hand-held devices via live streaming technology,” said ViewCast President and Chief Executive Officer Dave Stoner. “We’re pleased that for the past two years Niagara Pro encoders have enabled global audiences to not only watch the live, star-studded event in real time, but to interact with the MTV Europe Web site and vote for the awards.”

Stoner added: “Streaming of an increasing number of high-profile events, such as the MTV awards, reflects the growing use of this digital medium to not only reach huge audiences but also generate advertising revenue for broadcasters and content owners. And, because of the high-performance needs of this segment of the digital media industry, our professional-grade Niagara encoders are becoming more widely adopted into their communications networks as a cost-effective enabling technology.”

The Niagara Pro dual-channel encoder is a professional rack-mountable streaming media appliance capable of delivering two channels of full D1 high-quality streaming video. ViewCast’s SimulStream technology enables simultaneous streaming of multiple resolutions at multiple data rates in multiple streaming formats. The Niagara Pro’s three preprogrammable “A-B-C” buttons allow users to execute pre-defined encoding profiles simply by pressing a single button on the encoder’s front panel.

In the Wisconsin city of West Allis, a Niagara streaming media encoder is playing a central role in expanding the audience for public, educational, and government access (PEG) television programming. A product of ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a leading global provider of streaming hardware and software, the Niagara encoder has enabled the city to port its government access programs to AT&T’s® U-verse® residential IPTV service, recently launched in the greater Milwaukee area.

“Thanks to ViewCast, we’re able to bring our government access programs to an even broader audience via leading-edge IPTV,” said Jerry Musial, video and cable coordinator for the City of West Allis. “The Niagara system was extremely easy to adopt, and its budget-conscious pricing played a big role in our choice. As a non-technical person, I really appreciated the excellent support and assistance we received from ViewCast, which enabled us to get up and running quickly and smoothly.”

Musial also serves on the board of the National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors (NATOA), an association that represents the communications needs and interests of local governments and their advisors.

A city of 60,000 in Milwaukee County, and the site of the Wisconsin State Fair, West Allis offers a wide range of government access programming to its citizens. The programs are locally produced as well as supplied by state and federal agencies, and include information about state
and city services, community events, and coverage of city council meetings. The ViewCast Niagara system encodes the video for transport over a T1 network to the U-verse system, which began serving the West Allis viewing area in February.

All Niagara encoders have AT&T’s U-verse PEG streaming specifications programmed as a menu item, and ViewCast is one of only four providers noted in U-verse’s PEG encoder information collateral. This makes ViewCast an ideal solution for municipalities that are seeking to deliver PEG content over this new, rapidly growing IPTV platform.

ViewCast President and Chief Executive Dave Stoner said: “Niagara encoders are playing a central role in expanding the audience for PEG television programming. Mr. Musial’s involvement in NATOA is a testament to West Allis’ leadership in the area of municipal communications, as is the city’s commitment to embracing advanced new media technologies such as IPTV. We are pleased that we were able to meet West Allis’ needs and look forward to continuing our successful partnership.”

“Moreover, we see continuing and rising adoption of video streaming for sports and entertainment applications, as well as public access, as evidence of the growing trend toward using the Internet as a major channel for streaming all varieties of programs, information, and other content,” Stoner added.

ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a leading global provider of streaming solutions that enable viewing of professional quality video via Internet and mobile devices, today announced that the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and leading broadcasters in Asia and North America were among a number of international broadcasters who streamed live video coverage of the games in Beijing to millions of viewers with ViewCast Niagara encoders and Osprey video capture cards.

The trend of major broadcasters and organizations utilizing ViewCast technology to stream live and on-demand video of major events through their Web sites began long before the games in Beijing. In June 2008, viewers in North America were able to watch live Web-TV coverage of a premier boxing match in the U.K., as Amir Khan defended his lightweight title. In July, the storied English football club, Liverpool FC, began streaming games to its global fan base. And in August, the BBC installed Niagara Pro encoders from ViewCast for live streaming coverage of prestige sports and news events.

For online and mobile video coverage of the games in Beijing broadcasters stepped-up their use of ViewCast streaming equipment, and audience responses exceeded all expectations. More than 100 million viewers watched streaming video of the various sporting events during the first 10 days of the games via the Web site of China’s main broadcaster, and BBC Sports’ online video coverage of the games enabled it to break into the top 10 most-visited sites in the U.K, as reported by Streamingmedia.com (August 22, 2008).

Adobe® Flash® Media Server powered the live video streaming for the BBC’s coverage from Beijing. Adobe Flash Player, installed on 98 percent of all Internet-connected desktops, enabled viewers to enjoy high-impact online video across all major platforms and browsers.

Jim Guerard, vice president and general manager of Adobe’s Dynamic Media, commented, “Adobe Flash technology enables broadcasters to bring immersive, interactive Web experiences to millions all around the world, and ViewCast technology is a robust solution for its delivery.”

ViewCast President and Chief Executive Dave Stoner remarked: “The success of ViewCast is built in large part on alliances with valued industry leaders such as Adobe, which plays a key role in the online broadcast industry through its leading-edge innovations and Flash® Player technology. Through these relationships, and by listening to our customers needs and anticipating market trends, ViewCast will remain at the forefront of technology and continue to provide next-generation streaming solutions that enable broadcasters, government organizations and enterprises to deliver high-quality, compelling interactive experiences to their audiences globally.”

Stoner added: “In the coming years we see wider and substantially higher rates of adoption of streaming technology as broadcasters increase the use of streaming media over the Internet and mobile devices to meet the growing demand of consumers who want to watch video at the time of their choosing and on their terms.”

According to an ABI Research report (September 2008), the number of American consumers watching streamed videos almost doubled from 32 percent a year ago to 63 percent today.

ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a leading global provider of streaming media hardware and software, today announced the release of its next-generation streaming media encoder, the Niagara® Pro II.

The Niagara Pro II is the newest in the line of Niagara encoders, which are utilized by many of the world’s leading broadcasters for high-quality, high-resolution video capture and streaming. This professional-grade encoding appliance has the most powerful processing of all Niagara encoding appliances and offers an array of innovative features designed to meet the rapidly expanding online video needs of broadcasters/studios, enterprises and Internet/network service providers.

As with all Niagara encoders, Niagara Pro II excels at capturing, encoding and streaming video and audio over the Internet and mobile networks for live viewing and video-on-demand applications. To meet the challenges of streaming globally to multi-platform audiences, the Niagara Pro II comes standard with ViewCast’s exclusive Simulstream® and Niagara SCX® Pro control and management software; both pre-configured and ready to use. These applications allow users to manage their streaming workflow from a single, user-friendly Web interface and enable a single video source to be streamed simultaneously at multiple resolutions, at multiple data rates, and in a variety of streaming formats, including H.264, MPEG-4, Adobe® Flash®, Windows Media® (Silverlight™ compatible) and 3GPP/3GPP2 for mobile applications.

Complete with professional-grade features to simplify workflow, the Niagara Pro II can crop, scale and de-interlace video streams, and includes standard definition SDI video, bitmap overlay and closed-captioning features. Its 19” rack-mount form-factor includes a built-in front-panel video confidence monitor, LCD status display, and three programmable “A-B-C” buttons that can activate one-touch, pre-programmed encoding and streaming profiles.

ViewCast Chief Executive Dave Stoner commented: “Today’s broadcasters, studios and other service providers are looking for every competitive advantage, and one advantage is being able to encode and stream robust, high-quality video efficiently and in the most easy-to-use manner possible. The Pro II was designed to meet the needs of the higher-end market, and as a result, no other media encoder offers such intuitive features, convenience and high degree of flexibility along with high levels of performance suitable for Internet TV applications.

“As the market for streaming hardware grows, and demand for even higher performance continues, we intend to stay ahead of the curve through continuing research and product development,” Stoner added. “This long-term commitment will enable the continual introduction of leading-edge capabilities through our well-established Niagara and Osprey brands and planned expansion of market share during the next several years, especially as the market moves to larger and more sophisticated applications for video streaming.”

As the Panama Canal Authority (Autoridad del Canal de Panama or ACP) proceeds with its $5.25 billion, seven-year canal expansion project, solutions from ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB:VCST) will play an important role in historical documentation and public information. The ACP has chosen ViewCast’s Niagara® 7224 video encoding system to enable Web streaming of a wide variety of live and on-demand programming related to the expansion project, and to provide training for the ACP’s 9,000-plus employees.

“Technology has come a long way since the building of the original canal, when we were only left with still photography and a small amount of film footage to document the event,” said Edwin Reina, chief information officer for the ACP. “Thanks to the advanced streaming technology provided by ViewCast, we’ll be able to deliver a wealth of content to our Web site to keep the public updated on the progress of the project, and to ensure that this monumental and historical event is recorded for posterity.”

The ACP is a longtime user of ViewCast products. For a number of years, the organization has used ViewCast Osprey®-100 video capture cards to capture webcam images of vessels traveling through the Canal’s three sets of locks. Still in use, the system provides updated images to the ACP Web site every 10 seconds.

Now, the ACP has implemented the ViewCast Niagara 7224 video encoding solution to deliver educational programming on the progress of the expansion project to the Canal Web site, including streaming live video from multiple construction sites. Since the Niagara 7224 provides eight separate channels, Canal personnel will also be able to use the system for a variety of other streaming applications, such as webcast training programs for ACP employees working throughout the Isthmus of Panama. The system will also be used for webcasting presentations from the ACP CEO, and to stream a television program providing weekly information updates on the Panama Canal to the ACP Web site.

“Based on our previous experience with ViewCast streaming equipment, we knew the Niagara 7224 would provide the reliability and high performance we needed – and the system’s multi-channel configuration makes it extremely versatile for a wide range of uses,” said Reina. “Right at the beginning, the system showed off its ease-of-use by enabling us to stream a CEO presentation at the last minute, quickly and easily.”

“As the ACP has shown, streaming technology can go a long way towards increasing public knowledge and building enthusiasm for large-scale public works projects and facilitating general communications,” said Dave Stoner, president and chief executive officer of ViewCast. “We’re excited that the Niagara 7224 and our Osprey cards are playing such a key role in this historic, world-changing event.”

It is also well suited for multi-channel audio applications with the ability to deliver eight stereo or 16 mono audio streams. Examples of markets that will benefit from this encoder include state and local governments for streaming of open meetings or remote viewing of multiple traffic and weather cameras; security, military, and law enforcement agencies for remote viewing of multiple surveillance cameras; and content delivery networks for more efficient broadcast of multiple music and radio programs.

The Niagara 8224 system accepts component, composite or Y/C (S-Video) analog video inputs for up to eight channels, and balanced and unbalanced stereo audio inputs. Each channel can be configured independently to deliver multiple streams in multiple viewing formats and multiple bit rates, and each stream can be individually sized, scaled, and customized with bitmap overlays (e.g. logos and graphics) and other features such as closed-caption pre-rendering. Encoding and streaming formats delivered by the Niagara 8224 include Windows Media®, RealVideo®, H.263, H.264, MPEG-4 Part 2, Adobe® Flash® capture-to-file, 3GPP/3GPP2 container format and uncompressed AVI capture-to-file.

Niagara 8224 systems come standard with two of ViewCast’s most versatile control and management software applications, Niagara SCX® Pro and SimulStream®, both pre-configured and ready to use.

The Niagara 8224 will make its debut at the upcoming IBC2008 show in Amsterdam, September 12 through 16. In addition, IBC2008 will mark the first time ViewCast will demonstrate its new Niagara GoStream® SURF portable streaming appliance to a European audience. Powered by ViewCast’s renowned Osprey® video capture technology, the GoStream SURF allows users to broadcast to the Web in multiple full-resolution streams in multiple formats and multiple bit rates — all simultaneously. The SURF’s combination of power and portability gives users the flexibility to stream content from a controlled studio environment or an off-site location.

“The Niagara 8224 and the GoStream SURF are two of the most innovative and versatile encoding platforms on the market today, and they are both great examples of why ViewCast is a global leader in next generation streaming solutions,” said Dave Stoner, president and chief executive officer of ViewCast.
