Upcoming Liverpool FC Versus Rangers Match Only Available by Webcast



    PLANO, Texas, July 30 /EMWNews/ -- When the legendary

Liverpool Football Club (LFC) squared off against FC Lucerne in a

pre-season match on July 16, the game was streamed live to the LFC's Web

site via a ViewCast Niagara(R) Pro streaming video encoder. A product of

ViewCast Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: VCST), a leading global provider

of audio and video encoding communication products, the Niagara Pro offers

easy-to-use, professional-grade performance for the LFC to make its

pre-season games available to all fans globally.



    A longtime user of ViewCast's Osprey(R) video capture cards for

streaming applications, Liverpoolfc.tv is testing the Niagara Pro as part

of a strategy to upgrade and broaden its broadcasting capabilities, as

exemplified by the recent opening of a new broadcasting center in its home

city of Liverpool, England. Following successful webcasts of the FC Lucerne

and Wisla Krakow friendlies on July 16 and 19 respectively, the LFC will

again employ the Niagara Pro to webcast their match with the Rangers

Football Club of Glasgow, Scotland on August 2. The Rangers match, a

popular fixture that attracts great interest in the U.K. as well as among

expatriates in the U.S. and other countries, will not be televised --

making the webcast especially crucial for bringing the action to fans.



    "We've had great success with the Osprey cards, and now the Niagara Pro

gives us the opportunity to jump to the next level in streaming video and

deliver the absolute highest-quality video from SDI source to our fans,"

said Matthew Quinn, systems coordinator for the LFC. "Since the Niagara Pro

is so easy to operate, our TV engineering staff can stream video without

any special training, which keeps our operating costs down."



    Liverpoolfc.tv has exclusive rights to the Web broadcast of most of the

pre-season games. Once the regular football season begins, Liverpoolfc.tv

will supplement the live game coverage with a wide range of supplemental

programming including news and features about teams and players, chat and

phone-in shows, and documentaries -- all produced in the new LFC TV

broadcast studio.



    "Streaming video on the Internet has revolutionized sports coverage by

enabling fans from any location to watch live games and follow their

favorite teams, even on mobile devices," said Dave Stoner, president and

chief operating officer of ViewCast. "Liverpoolfc.tv is a great example of

a leading sports organization that recognizes the potential of streaming

media on the Web, and we're pleased that the Niagara Pro is playing such a

leading role."
