ViewCast and interact SpA Expand Distribution Regions

Master distributor to sell ViewCast streaming solutions in Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean

PLANO, Texas — July 15, 2009 — 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 interact SpA, an authorized master distributor of ViewCast products in Italy since 2000, will now distribute ViewCast’s comprehensive portfolio of products, including the award-winning Osprey® video capture cards and Niagara® encoding appliances, to the regions of Albania, Algeria, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Egypt, Greece, Morocco, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Tunisia and Turkey.

“Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean are considered to be the fastest growing regions for IT, and streaming communications technologies,” said ViewCast Senior Vice President of Sales Gary J. Klembara. “Our expanded relationship with interact SpA will allow us to broaden our operations and visibility in these countries and position us to support new market opportunities as they continue to emerge.”

interact SpA is a trusted provider of online TV, mobile TV, IPTV and content management solutions, and a pioneer in the growing European video streaming marketplace. As a developer of streaming platforms for corporate and public sector communications, telecom, and broadband
TV markets, interact SpA is also well known for its innovation and pro-active R&D approach. They not only serve as a distributor of technology solutions, but also play an important role as a local partner dedicated to understanding business possibilities in emerging markets and educating end users and system integrators about the full capabilities of new technologies.

“interact SpA is well established in the Egyptian and North African telecom markets and has an office in Cairo to further support carriers and public administrations in these regions, both regions in which ViewCast’s flexible, plug-and-play solutions are needed and will stand out,” said Sandro Costa, CEO for interact SpA. “Conversely, Eastern Europe is a relatively untapped market, particularly for streaming media. As private broadcasters continue to emerge, competition with public sector TV and radio stations should catalyze the adoption of new solutions to support Web, mobile streaming, and mobile TV applications. Having worked closely with ViewCast since 2000, we know their products to be reliable and cost-effective - attributes that will be well received by these emerging markets.”

As applications for streaming media have expanded and evolved, ViewCast has been quick to respond with high-performance, easy-to-use solutions for webcasting, mobile streaming and Internet TV.
