The Osprey 200 family of analogue capture products is the next step in rich media capture. Combining the ability to capture professional-quality stereo audio with the already proven and recommended video capture capabilities of the Osprey-100, now comes the Osprey-200 family.

The Osprey-210 provides a single card solution and offers a high degree of scalability and flexibility. It is an analogue capture card with BNC or S-Video connectors for composite video, unbalanced stereo audio inputs, and audio loop-back feature for monitoring of the captured source.

The 200 Series is optionally available with the SimulStream and Fluition Smil Authoring Software. Simulstream allows the user to create simultaneous multiple streams at different bit rate speeds through different streaming applications from the same source via a single Osprey 200 series card. One Osprey card, located in one PC/encoding station, can create as many different streams from a single source (analogue, digital or SDI) as the processing power of the that PC/encoding station can handle. i.e. Three streams of 58k, 128k and 384k in Windows Media format and three streams of 58k, 128k and 512k in Real format - all streaming simultaneously, all in realtime, all from just one Osprey card and one PC/encoding station.

Osprey 440 - Enabling Multi-channel video capture

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 video inputs via internal pins on the circuit board.

Description
The Osprey-440 is a PCI card designed to simultaneously capture 4 channels of analog video and / or 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 minimise 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 and 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 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.

• (4) composite BNC video connectors
  
• 64-bit PCI-X design
  
• Full motion (30fps) video capture
  
• Logo/Bitmap overlay
  
• Watermark capability
