Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Chooses VNCI Visual Networks to Streamline
Closed Captioning Production

PORTSMOUTH, N.H., Aug. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Video Network Communications,
Inc. (Nasdaq: VNCI, VNCIW), a leader in visual networking solutions, today
announced the purchase of VNCI Video Systems by the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation (CBC), Canada's official French and English broadcast network. The
initial installation will facilitate closed captioning and translation at the
company's home in Montreal and provide visual connectivity with offices in
Quebec City, Ottawa and Winnipeg.
The local VNCI network will allow specialists in separate offices to
collaborate and review live programming as they produce closed captioned text
and translations "on-the-fly." The programming feeds will be transmitted in
"real-time" from the Quebec City, Ottawa and Winnipeg bureaus/stations across
the VNCI Visual Network.
David Dever, VNCI Director of Sales, Broadcast, noted: "We are very happy
to provide CBC with the power and efficiency our system brings to the
broadcast production process. From collaborative editing at Turner Studios to
signing at the California School for the Deaf, VNCI technology is both
versatile and adaptable to any platform or application. The most compelling
advantage, however, is our ability to distribute 30 frames per second,
full-motion video and FM-stereo audio using the existing infrastructure. This
was also one of CBC's requirements."
