The Osprey-230 Delivers
High-Performance Video Capture
The Osprey-230 is designed for today's high performance systems, delivering professional-level features and functionality, such as PCI-X compatibility, for best-quality streaming results.
Plus it's low profile configuration allows for greater usability in small form factor computers, making it the ideal solution for rack-mount encoding farms, custom enclosures, and other form factor constrained environments.
The Osprey-230 ships with a breakout cable for video and audio inputs.
There are several other breakout options available for the Osprey-230 to meet your specific work environment requirements which are a breakout box and a breakout rack panel. |

The Osprey-440 is a 64-bit, four-channel, multi-port audio and video capture card. This PCI-X card can process four channels of full-motion (30 fps) video and audio, from four NTSC or PAL analog sources. The Osprey-440 features Logo/Bitmap overlay/watermark capability, audio gain control, and programmable audio sampling rates. Based on the reliability of ViewCast's Osprey® Video capture card, the Osprey-440 provides multi-source capture through four composite (BNC) connectors on the faceplate plus additional A/V inputs via internal pins on the circuit board for system integrators.
Osprey 440 - Enabling Multi-Channel Video Capture - The Osprey-440 is a PCI-X card designed to simultaneously capture 4 channels of analog video and stereo audio signals. The Osprey-440 is intended primarily for applications where multiple channels of video need to be captured and processed independently. The Osprey-440 is designed to minimize internal PC space requirements by implementing multiple channels per card, and allowing multiple cards in a single system. The channel density enabled by the Osprey 440 allows fewer computer systems to be used for capture of a given number of channels, dramatically reducing total system cost.
Additional features of the Osprey-440 include four standard alarm inputs, four alarm outputs and support for them within the Osprey AVStream driver. The Osprey-440 includes 12 additional internal auxiliary audio and video inputs that can be switched in as alternatives to the rear panel connectors, three per channel. These additional inputs and alarm connectors are intended for developers who may wish to source audio and video from within their own enclosure or from other auxiliary sources under their control. Familiar features of other Osprey multimedia-class cards have been retained, including options for SimulStream, cropping, watermarking, and audio capture. Multiple cards may be used in a single system chassis. The Osprey-440 is compatible with the Osprey SDK for development of media applications supporting Video-for-Windows and DirectShow®.
