ViewCast Niagara GoStream Plus Chosen for Streaming Media Magazine 2008 Editors' Picks

PLANO, Texas, March 26 /PRNewswire/ --

Streaming Media magazine chose the ViewCast Niagara(R) GoStream(R) Plus
portable streaming media encoder appliance for its 2008 Editors' Picks award.
The annual Editors' Picks list 
(http://www.viewcast.com/download/2008EditorsPicks.pdf) showcases what their
industry-savvy writers judge to be the "best products" in the industry.
Powered by Osprey(R) technology, the Niagara GoStream and Niagara GoStream
Plus have forged the way in the portable streaming appliance market, which
ViewCast Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: VCST) has significantly shaped.

Editor of Streaming Media magazine, Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen said:
"ViewCast introduced the original Niagara GoStream in 2006, but it was such a
hot ticket that our reviewer, Steve Mack, wasn't able to get his hands on it
for review until our April/May 2007 issue. Steve called it both idiot-proof
and bullet-proof, and praised both its rugged portability and the results he
got encoding to Windows Media(R), RealVideo(R), and Adobe(R) Flash(R). By
that time, though, ViewCast had introduced the Niagara GoStream Plus, which
made a good thing even better by adding the ability to encode to multiple
formats and resolutions simultaneously." MPEG-4 and Adobe Flash Live formats
are also available on the Niagara GoStream Plus.

Niagara GoStream is a powerful, portable streaming media encoder product
line designed to make capturing and streaming video a simple, effortless
process. The appliance is created for video content providers seeking to
reach broader audiences via the Internet through computers, portable laptops
and cell phone devices.

Each of these delivery devices requires differing formats, bit rates and
resolutions for an optimal viewing experience. That's what the Niagara
encoders do best. Thanks to the empowering Osprey SimulStream(R) software,
which comes standard on all Niagara encoders, multiple video streams can be
configured in multiple formats, in multiple resolutions, at multiple bit
rates -- all simultaneously.

ViewCast President and Chief Operating Officer, Dave Stoner commented:
"These appliances are designed to provide the flexibility to stream live from
a studio or on location where the action is. Therefore, they offer a great
method for broadcasting late-breaking news from the field, live
entertainment, government open meetings, mobile device delivery, corporate
announcements, online training, webcasts, and more."

Streaming Media noted: "For additional simplicity, the Niagara GoStream
products feature Niagara SCX(R) remote encoder management software, which
utilizes a Web-based user interface for the creation and editing of custom
encoding profiles, system configuration and alert logs. The software also
allows users to remotely start and stop encoding sessions via IP network
connectivity."

Another feature of this product family's user-friendliness is its three
EZStream(R) buttons on the front panel, which allow users to select from
pre-defined encoding profiles with the touch of a single button. From its
front panel interface, the EASE menu system provides a complete set of
controls for local, basic encode and setup, including live control of
multiple encoder sessions and feedback on system performance, as well as
direct access for system configuration.

Schumacher-Rasmussen added: "This is the fourth edition of our Streaming
Media Editors' Picks, and it was harder than ever to settle on which of the
multitude of new products -- and improvements to familiar ones -- merited a
spot on this short list. We had no hard and fast criteria, since 'streaming
media' is such a big tent these days. Rather, we tried to pick the best from
a cross-section of entertainment and enterprise, deep technology and consumer
gadget, and production and playback."

Stoner remarked: "We are very pleased that our Niagara GoStream product
family was chosen for this prestigious award, because, as Eric states, the
field is so broad and encompasses such a wide variety of solutions. This
honor is a tribute to our Niagara GoStream product line's extreme versatility
and ease of use."
