Osprey-450e

ViewCast is proud to introduce the latest cutting-edge addition to the Osprey® PCIe® family: the Osprey-450e 4-Channel professional analog video capture card, featuring legendary Osprey quality for the latest PC architectures. Designed especially for the super high-speed PCI Express® bus. Think performance!

Multi-Channel PCI Express Power

The Osprey-450e is the ideal PCI Express analog card for:

Broadcasters used in broadcast and advertising monitoring applications, due to density requirements
Government used for traffic and surveillance cameras due to density requirements, as well as mobile encoding due to low CPU requirements, enabling many simultaneous channels
DIGITAL SIGNAGE INTEGRATORS used for digital signage applications, due to system cost and density requirements
GLOBAL OEM SYSTEMS INTEGRATORS seeking a single-solution deployment strategy that supports global analog standard-definition formats, including NTSC, PAL, and others.

Enabling Multi-Channel Video Capture

The Osprey-450e is a PCI Express card designed to simultaneously capture 4 individual channels of analog video and unbalanced stereo audio signals and process them independently minimizing internal PC space requirements. The channel density enabled by the Osprey-450e allows fewer computer systems to be used for capture of a given number of channels, dramatically reducing total system cost.

The Osprey-450e includes additional internal video inputs and 4 additional balanced audio inputs that can be switched in as alternatives to the rear panel connectors. The internal video inputs include the selection of component or Y/C (S-Video) for each of the 4 channels.

Familiar features of other Osprey multimedia-class cards have been retained, including options for Simulstream® cropping, logo overlay, and VBI data extraction. Multiple cards may be used in a single system chassis. The Osprey-450e is compatible with the Osprey SDK for development of media applications supporting DirectShow.

Optimized for the Latest PC Architectures

PC manufacturers have adopted the PCI Express (PCIe) bus as the latest high-throughput internal bus architecture. The best PC graphics cards use this bus because it unleashes the power of modern multi-core PC engines.

ViewCast chose the PCI Express bus for the Osprey-450e for the same reasons - unfettered access to all PC resources. No bottlenecks, no mysterious glitches, no unexplained hiccups, no random data collisions. Just smooth, unadulterated power. Power that can support multiple Osprey PCIe cards in one system.

Optimized for Live Streaming

Take advantage of the Osprey-450e's Designed for Live features like Logo Bitmap Overlay with transparency and positioning controls. Automatically detect and adapt on-the-fly when the input video format changes from Movie frame rates to Television frame rates. The Osprey-450e can do the job today and is ready for your future applications.


Multiple Streams per Input

Purchase the Osprey-450e with Simulstream and feed audio and video to multiple encoders at the same time. Use it with ViewCast Niagara SCX® to easily create and manage live streams in RealVideo®, Windows Media®, Adobe® Flash® Video, and MPEG-4 at the same time, in any combination. Or create multiple streams of the same type with completely independent settings for sizing, scaling, logos, and bit rate.

Global Standards Support

Like all Osprey cards, the Osprey-450e supports global analog standard-definition formats, including NTSC, PAL, and most others used throughout the world. If you are a global OEM integrator seeking a single-solution deployment strategy, this card's for you.

ViewCast is proud to introduce a cutting-edge addition to the Osprey family: the Osprey-700e HD high-definition (HD) and standard-definition (SD) combination video capture card, featuring legendary Osprey performance - n ow in HD - with the latest PCI Express® technology.

Designed for Live in HD with SD Switching On-the-Fly

ViewCast is proud to introduce a cutting-edge addition to the Osprey family: the Osprey-700e HD high-definition (HD) and standard-definition (SD) combination video capture card, featuring legendary Osprey performance - now in HD - with the latest PCI Express® technology.

Already making a splash, the Osprey-700e HD won TV Technology magazine's 2007 STAR Award and was featured in HD Video Pro magazine's February 2008 issue.

The Osprey 700e HD accepts industry-standard SD and HD SDI in a single half-height PCIe card. By utilizing the high-speed PCI Express bus the Osprey-700e HD provides the solid bandwidth required for high-resolution video capture in applications for a wide range of SD and HD standard resolutions up to 1080i (60/59.94/50 Hz).

Multi-Channel Embedded Audio

The Osprey-700e HD card's SDI input supports up to eight independent embedded stereo audio pairs in all SD and HD modes.

Exclusive Designed for Live Adaptive Features

With the Osprey-700e HD card you can automatically adapt to input signal format changes without having to stop, reconfigure and restart your video application. This newest Designed for Live™ feature distinguishes the Osprey-700e HD from many cards used for ingesting video into video editing systems or other applications:

Switch On-the-Fly Between SD and HD - Accepts a variety of SD and HD video standards and will automatically adapt - without interruption - when the signal format changes between any of the supported SD and HD modes.
Specify constant output format with changing input format - Can automatically adapt (size and scale) the incoming video to match the selected output parameters. You can freely switch between a live HD studio feed, SD promo clip from a playback server, back to live HD, etc. - without touching a thing!
Instantly publish your live streaming content - We call it Instant VOD, allowing you to configure separate live and archived versions of the same live content - separate logos, separate sizing, cropping, scaling, etc. - to minimize or eliminate post-processing time and resources. (Requires Simulstream®)

Multiple Streams Per Input

Purchase the Osprey-700e HD with Simulstream and you can feed multiple encoders at the same time. Use it with a variety of available streaming codecs to easily create and manage live streams in RealVideo®, Windows Media®, Adobe® Flash® Video and MPEG-4 at the same time, in any combination. Or create multiple streams of the same type with completely independent settings for sizing, scaling, logos and bit rate.
