ViewCast� Streaming Video Products
ViewCast� Streaming Systems are the quickest and easiest way to add video streaming to your website or organization's intranet. ViewCast.com's systems come fully configured with your choice of industry-leading streaming video software, either RealNetworks' RealSystem G2 system or Microsoft's Windows Media Technology. Designed for optimum quality delivery of your video and audio content, they include one or more cutting-edge Osprey video capture cards or codecs. To complete the package, ViewCast.com Inc. has partnered with industry leaders Virage for video cataloging and Lariat for streaming media management to provide integrated system capabilities no other platform can match.

ViewCast� Encoding Stations
A ViewCast� Encoding Station takes live video from a camera, or pre-recorded video from a tape or DVD, and encodes it for network streaming. ViewCast Encoding Stations can capture and encode up to six video feeds on a single NT workstation in RealNetworks RealSystem G2 format, employing the power of Osprey-1000 video capture/compression boards. This is the industry's only hardware encoder for RealNetworks RealSystem G2.

In addition, thanks to ViewCast.com's hardware-accelerated encoding process, your broadcasts can be seen by viewers connected at many different bandwidths, such as 28.8Kbps, 56Kbps or 128Kbps (ISDN) or up to 500 Kpbs, all produced by one system, not three. ViewCast.com integrates the Virage VideoLogger� to produce the industry's only single system video/audio encoding/logging station.

ViewCast� Streaming Video Server
The ViewCast� Streaming Video Server is a server system that takes one or more encoded video feeds from a ViewCast Encoding Station and streams them to 50, 100, or more than 1,000 systems simultaneously. ViewCast Streaming Video Servers come bundled with either RealNetworks RealServer or Microsoft's Windows Media Server software.

Osprey Video Capture and Codec Cards Osprey video cards are the industry's de facto standard for serious providers of Internet and intranet video content.

The Osprey�-100
The Osprey�-100 card is the product that both RealNetworks and Microsoft have selected as their standard for video capture. Providing the highest quality NT drivers in the industry, the Osprey-100 enables both RealNetworks and Microsoft's software encoders to produce the highest performance and quality video. If you've seen streaming video on the Internet, it was probably captured with an Osprey-100.

The Osprey�-1000
The Osprey�-1000 Real G2 performs video encoding on the card instead of on the CPU. Instead of devoting an entire system to encoding a single stream of video, using the Osprey-1000 Real G2 can use as little as 5% or 10% of a single processor system, leaving plenty of power for additional encoding streams or additional applications -- such as video cataloging.

The ViewCast� family of systems offers a comprehensive range of solutions tailored to your individual system, using leading-edge hardware and software to deliver the highest quality video and audio possible while maintaining affordable prices.
