PROXY STATEMENT
GENERAL INFORMATION
Proxy Solicitation
     This Proxy Statement is furnished to the holders of common stock, $.0001 par value (the “Common Stock”) and holders of Series E Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, $.0001 par value (“Series E Preferred”), (the Common Stock and Series E Preferred collectively, the “Voting Shares”) of ViewCast.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ViewCast” or the “Company”) in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of ViewCast of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Thursday, September 25, 2008 (the “Annual Meeting”), or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, pursuant to the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The purposes of the meeting and the matters to be acted upon are set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Board of Directors is not currently aware of any other matters that will come before the Annual Meeting.
     The Board of Directors of ViewCast is soliciting proxies for use at the Annual Meeting. These proxy solicitation materials are first being mailed on or about September 2, 2008 to all shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Proxies will be solicited chiefly by mail. ViewCast will make arrangements with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxies and proxy material to the beneficial owners of the Voting Shares and will reimburse them for their expenses in so doing. Should it appear desirable to do so in order to ensure adequate representation of Voting Shares at the Annual Meeting, officers, agents and employees of ViewCast may communicate with shareholders, banks, brokerage houses and others by telephone, facsimile or in person to request that proxies be furnished. ViewCast expects to spend approximately $10,000.00 soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting. All expenses incurred in connection with this solicitation will be borne by ViewCast.
Revocability and Voting of Proxy
     A form of proxy for use at the Annual Meeting and a return envelope for the proxy are enclosed. Shareholders may revoke the authority granted by their execution of proxies at any time before their effective exercise by filing with the Secretary of ViewCast a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Shares of ViewCast’s Voting Shares represented by executed and unrevoked proxies will be voted in accordance with the choice or instructions specified thereon. If no specifications are given, the proxies intend to vote the shares represented thereby in favor of the matters as set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and in accordance with their best judgment on any other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.
Voting Securities, Record Date and Voting Rights
     Only holders of record of the Voting Shares at the close of business on July 31, 2008 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the record date, 32,107,992 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding, excluding treasury stock. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting. As of the record date, 80,000 shares of Series E Preferred were issued and outstanding. Each holder of Series E Preferred is entitled to full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of the Common Stock. For each share of Series E Preferred held, the holder thereof shall be entitled to the number of votes into which such share of Series E Preferred could then be converted into Common Stock. The equivalent amount of Common Stock as of the record date is 15,686,275 shares. Each holder of Series E Preferred shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of the Common Stock, with respect to any question upon which holders of the Common Stock have the right to vote. Fractional votes, however, are not permitted and any fractional voting rights available on an as converted basis will be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward).
     The holders of a majority of the outstanding Voting Shares, present in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum. “Broker non-votes” are shares held by brokers or nominees which are present in person or represented by proxy, but which are not voted on a particular matter because instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner.
     Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, abstentions or non-votes will not affect the election of candidates receiving the plurality of votes.

Table of Contents

     The ratification of the appointment of KBA Group LLP as ViewCast’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2008 and any other matters to come before the Annual Meeting require the approval of the holders of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. For this purpose, abstentions and broker non-votes will be deemed shares not voted on such matters, will not count as votes for or against the proposals, and will not be included in calculating the number of votes necessary for the approval of such matters.
     Inspectors of Election appointed by ViewCast will tabulate votes at the Annual Meeting.

Professor Slocum is currently on the board of advisors for Kisco Senior Living of Carlsbad, California.
     There are no family relationships among the directors, executive officers, or other significant employees of ViewCast.
Board of Directors Independence
     The Board of Directors is comprised of a majority of directors who qualify as independent according to NASDAQ Stock Market listing standards. Based upon the term “independent” as defined by NASDAQ Stock Market listing standards, the Board of Directors has determined that three of our five directors (Joseph Autem, Sherel D. Horsley and John W. Slocum, Jr.) are independent. All members of each of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee are independent directors.
     Annually, the Board of Directors reviews the relationships that each director has with us and our affiliates as well as the criteria and standards for determining independence. Upon review, the Board of Directors affirmatively determines which directors are considered independent.
     None of the executive officers of ViewCast served as a member of the board of directors or as a member of the compensation committee or similar board committee of another entity during 2007, which entity had an executive officer serving on the Board of ViewCast or its Compensation Committee. Consequently, there are no interlocking relationships that might affect the determination of the compensation of executive officers of ViewCast.
Meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees
      Meetings. The Board of Directors held a total of seven meetings during ViewCast’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Each Director attended in person or telephonically at least 75% of the meetings held by the Board of Directors and all committees thereof on which he served.
     It is our policy that all directors and nominees should attend the annual meeting of shareholders. All of our directors attended the 2007 Annual Meeting.
     The Board of Directors has established two standing committees: the Audit and Compensation Committees.
      Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves salaries and bonuses for all officers, administers options outstanding under ViewCast’s stock incentive plans, provides advice and recommendations to the Board regarding directors’ compensation and carries out the responsibilities required by the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Compensation Committee believes that its processes and oversight should be directed toward attracting, retaining and motivating employees and non-employee directors to promote and advance the interests and strategic goals of the Company. The Compensation Committee does not have any employee members. As requested by the Compensation Committee, the Chief Executive Officer will provide information and may participate in discussion regarding compensation for other executive officers. The Compensation Committee does not utilize outside compensation consultants but considers other general industry information and trends if available. The Board of Directors has not adopted a written charter for the Compensation Committee.

Table of Contents

     Directors Autem, Horsley and Slocum serve as the members of the Compensation Committee. All members of the Compensation Committee are independent directors as defined under the NASDAQ Stock Market listing standards. The Compensation Committee met one time in the 2007 fiscal year.
      Audit Committee. The Audit Committee oversees and monitors ViewCast’s financial reporting process and internal control system, reviews and evaluates the audit performed by ViewCast’s independent registered public accounting firm and reports any substantive issues found during the audit to the Board and reviews and evaluates the internal audit program. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee will also review and approve all transactions with affiliated parties. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, which can be located in the investor relations section of our website at www.viewcast.com.
     Directors Autem, Horsley and Slocum serve as the members of the Audit Committee. All members of the committee are independent directors as defined under the NASDAQ Stock Market listing standards. The Audit Committee met four times in the 2007 fiscal year.
     The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Autem qualifies as an “Audit Committee Financial Expert” as that term is defined by applicable SEC rules, and the Board of Directors has designated him as such.
      Nomination of Directors . The Board of Directors currently does not have a standing nominating committee and consequently has no nominating committee charter. The Board of Directors believes that it is appropriate under existing circumstances for the Company not to have a nominating committee because the Board is comprised of only five members, three of whom are independent as defined under the NASDAQ Stock Market listing standards. Currently, each member of the Board of Directors participates in the consideration of director nominees.
     The Board of Directors does not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by shareholders because the Board believes it can adequately evaluate any such recommendation on a case-by-case basis. However, the Board of Directors would consider for possible nomination qualified nominees recommended by shareholders. Shareholders who wish to propose a qualified candidate for consideration should submit complete information as to the identity and qualifications of that person to the Secretary of the Company at 3701 W. Plano Parkway, Suite 300, Plano, Texas 75075 sufficiently in advance of an annual meeting.
     Absent special circumstances, the Board of Directors will continue to nominate qualified incumbent directors whom the Board believes will continue to make important contributions to the Board and the Company. The Board generally requires that nominees be persons of sound ethical character, be able to represent all shareholders fairly, have demonstrated professional achievement, have meaningful experience and have a general appreciation of the major business issues facing ViewCast. The Board of Directors does not have a formal process for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. However, the Board will evaluate all candidates, whether recommended by shareholders or otherwise, in accordance with the above criteria.
Code of Conduct and Ethics
     The Company has adopted a Corporate Compliance Program Guidelines and Ethics Policy (the “Code of Conduct and Ethics”) that applies to all employees and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer. This policy meets the requirements of a “code of ethics” as defined by Item 406 of Regulation S-B and was filed as Exhibit 14.1 to the Company’s report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2004.
     You may obtain a copy of the Code of Conduct and Ethics, free of charge, by sending a request in writing to Cordia Leung at the following address: Cordia Leung, ViewCast,com, Inc., 3701 W Plano Parkway, Suite 300, Plano, TX 75075.
Shareholder Communications with the Board of Directors.
     Shareholders may send written communications to our Board of Directors by delivering them to The Board of Directors, Viewcast.com, Inc., at 3701 W Plano Parkway, Suite 300, Plano, TX 75075. All shareholder communications will be forwarded to the Chairman of the Board of Directors or, if addressed to the Audit or Compensation Committee, forwarded to the appropriate committee chairman.

      2005 Stock Incentive Plan
     In October 2005, the Company adopted the ViewCast 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), which replaced its expired stock option plans (the 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan and the 1995 Director Stock Option Plan) and become the sole plan for providing equity-based incentive compensation to ViewCast’s employees, non-employee directors and other service providers. Options granted under the expired stock option plans will continue to be subject to the terms of those plans in effect before the effective date of the 2005 Plan. The plan allows for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, restricted

stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance awards and other incentive awards to employees, non-employee directors and other service providers of ViewCast and its affiliates who are in a position to make a significant contribution to the success of ViewCast and its affiliates. The purposes of the plan are to attract and retain individuals, further align employee and shareholder interests, and closely link compensation with ViewCast’s performance. The 2005 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors.
     The maximum number of shares available for grant under the 2005 Plan is 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, plus any shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding awards under ViewCast’s prior stock option plans as of the date the 2005 Plan was approved by ViewCast’s stockholders that later cease to be subject to such awards for any reason other than such awards having been exercised or expired. Such shares shall, as of the date such shares cease to be subject to such awards, cease to be available for grant under the prior stock options plans, but shall be available for issuance under the 2005 Plan. The number of shares available for award under the plan is subject to adjustment for certain corporate changes in accordance with the provisions of the plan.
     The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors currently administers options outstanding under the 2005 Plan and the Director Plan.
      Employee Stock Purchase Plan
     In October 2005, the Company established the ViewCast 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) to provide employees of the Company with an opportunity to purchase common stock through payroll deductions. The plan replaced the Company’s expired employee stock purchase plan (the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan) which expired in April 2005. Under the ESPP, 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance, subject to certain antidilution adjustments. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code.
     Under the new 2005 plan, each ESPP offering is for a period of six months ending March 31 and September 30 of each year. Eligible employees may participate in the ESPP by authorizing payroll deductions during an offering period within a percentage range determined by the Board of Directors. Initially, the amount of authorized payroll deductions is not more than ten percent of an employee’s cash compensation during an offering period, and not more than $25,000 per year. Amounts withheld from payroll are applied at the end of each offering period to purchase shares of Common Stock. Participants may withdraw their contributions at any time before stock is purchased, and in the event of withdrawal such contributions will be returned to participants. The purchase price of the Common Stock is equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the market price of Common Stock at the end of each offering period (the “Exercise Date”). The Purchase Price may be changed by the Board or its committee but in any case shall never be lower than 85% to the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date. ViewCast pays all expenses incurred in connection with the implementation and administration of the ESPP.

  (i)   an option for 50,000 shares that vested as of September 17, 2000;

11


Table of Contents

  (ii)   an option for 200,000 shares that vested in equal installments of 4,166 shares per month beginning in October, 2000;
 
  (iii)   an option for 50,000 shares that will vest immediately on the date following three consecutive calendar quarters of profitability as defined under generally accepted accounting principles;
 
  (iv)   an option for 50,000 shares, of which 16,666 shares of such option will vest when the average closing price of Common Stock, for a twenty out of thirty consecutive trading day period, has doubled in price from the exercise price ($7.094) of the option, and of which 33,334 shares of such option will vest in equal installments of 1,388 share per month thereafter;
 
  (v)   an option for 50,000 shares, of which 16,666 shares of such option will vest when the average closing price of Common Stock, for a twenty out of thirty consecutive trading day period, has tripled in price from the exercise price of the option, and of which 33,334 shares of such option will vest in equal installment of 1,388 shares per month thereafter.
     In addition, all of the 400,000 options granted to Mr. Platt will immediately vest upon a change of control in ViewCast if not previously vested.
      Director Compensation
     In May 1995, ViewCast adopted a 1995 Director Option Plan (the “Director Plan”) under which only outside directors were eligible to receive nonstatutory stock options. The Director Plan terminated on April 21, 2005. As amended and approved by shareholder vote during 2002, a total of 500,000 shares of Common Stock were authorized for issuance under the Director Plan. As of August 31, 2008, options to purchase an aggregate of 75,000 shares at exercise prices ranging from $0.26 to $7.14 per share had been granted and were outstanding under the Director Plan.
     The exercise price of each option granted under the Director Plan is equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Each share grant vests at the rate of 25% of the option shares upon the first anniversary of the date of grant and one forty-eighth of the options shares per month thereafter, unless terminated sooner upon termination of the optionee’s status as a director or otherwise pursuant to the Director Plan. On December 22, 2005, the Board of Directors of ViewCast approved accelerating the vesting of “out-of-the-money” unvested options previously awarded to employees, officers and directors under ViewCast’s stock option plans with an exercise price greater than $0.30 per share. The numbers of “out-of-the-money” unvested options under the Director Plan that were accelerated in 2005 and were held by directors as of August 31, 2008 are as follows: Joseph Autem — 14,376 options. In the event of a merger of ViewCast with or into another corporation or a consolidation, acquisition of assets or other change in control transaction involving ViewCast, each option becomes exercisable unless assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation.
     Directors who are not independent directors currently receive no cash compensation for serving on the Board of Directors other than reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings.
     On June 20, 2006, the Board of Directors of ViewCast.com, Inc. approved the policy for the compensation of independent directors by compensating such individuals with cash and equity designed to both reward such independent directors for services rendered to the Corporation and to link a portion of their compensation to the performance of the Corporation by means of equity grants as follows:
    Each independent director of the Corporation shall be paid a cash retainer equal to $500 per month with an additional cash payment for each meeting of the Board of Directors of the Corporation equal to $1,000 if attended in person and $250 if attended by telephone; and
 
    Each independent director of the Corporation who has not previously served on the Board of Directors of the Corporation be granted options under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, as described below, to acquire 50,000 shares of the Corporation upon the appointment to the Board of Directors with such option grant to vest annually in three equal parts with the first such installment to vest one year from the date of grant; and
 
    Each independent director of the Corporation be granted options under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan to acquire 25,000 shares of the Corporation each year immediately following the date of the Corporation’s annual meeting, provided that such independent director shall have served as a director of the Corporation at least twelve months prior to the date of such grant, with such option grant to vest annually in three equal parts with the first such installment to vest one year from the date of grant.
     The exercise price of each option granted to an independent director under the 2005 Plan is equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. As of August 31, 2008, options to purchase an aggregate of 183,335 shares at an exercise price ranging from $0.20 to $0.475 per share had been granted to independent directors and were outstanding under the 2005 Plan and 16,665 options previously granted have been exercised at an exercise price of $0.20 per share.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
     The following is a report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) describing the policies applicable to the review of the Company’s financial statements and audit for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.
     The Audit Committee reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under generally accepted auditing standards. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61. In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the registered public accounting firm’s independence from management and the Company, including the matters contained in the written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board and considered the compatibility of nonaudit services with the registered public accounting firm’s independence. The Audit Committee also received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1.
     The Audit Committee discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for their audit. The Audit Committee meets with the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting. The Audit Committee held four meetings during fiscal year 2007.
     Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and the Board has approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and the amendment thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee and the Board have also recommended, subject to shareholder approval, the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
      Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
     Since October 1998, ViewCast has maintained a working capital line of credit facility with an entity controlled by one of its principal stockholders and prior Chairman of the Board of ViewCast, H. T. Ardinger, Jr.
     On December 11, 2006, H. T. Ardinger and the Ardinger Family Partnership, Ltd. agreed to the conversion of $9,259,582 outstanding debt. The terms of the conversion called for the issuance of 80,000 shares of unregistered convertible preferred stock, with each share having a stated value of $100.00 with voting rights on an “as converted” basis with the common stock, and the issuance of 2,862,687 shares of unregistered common stock. In addition, a seven year warrant was issued to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.48 per share. The preferred stock provides for a conversion option to common stock at $0.60 per share of ViewCast common stock with an early conversion discount of 15% during the first twenty-four months. ViewCast and Ardinger also entered into a registration rights agreement.
     In addition, the parties entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement for the remaining $1,250,000 primary principal and $3,891,361 of accrued interest or secondary principal which shall be due December 31, 2009 subject to certain earlier payment conditions. The interest on the primary principal amount will accrue and be paid monthly based on the effective prime rate plus 1.0% (9.25% and 8.25% as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively) provided, however, that this rate shall not exceed 9.5% prior to December 31, 2007. Interest on the unpaid accrued interest note shall accrue based on the effective Applicable Federal Rate, as defined in the agreement, (4.73% and 3.88% as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively) and shall be paid in full on the maturity date. The Company has recorded $192,994 of accrued interest related to this note at December 31, 2007. The new notes are secured by all the existing liens securing any of the prior outstanding debt. Interest of $6,634 was paid to the partnership during 2006 and $113,029 was paid in 2007.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
     Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires ViewCast’s officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of ViewCast’s equity securities to file reports of ownership and change in ownership with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required to furnish ViewCast with copies of Section 16(a) forms which they file.
     To ViewCast’s knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to ViewCast, and written representations that no other reports were required during the year ended December 31, 2007, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to ViewCast’s officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with, except for the following transactions by Mr. H.T. Ardinger, Jr., a greater than 10% beneficial owner, and his affiliates, which were reported late on a Form 4 filed on February 14, 2007: two option exercise transactions on January 16, 2007, two warrant exercise transactions on February 2, 2007 and two warrant exercise transactions on February 5, 2007.
