Osprey-440 with SimulStream bundle

Capture Multiple Channels and Multiply your Savings

With the capability to simultaneously capture four independent channels of audio and video, the Osprey®-440 PCI-X™ capture card is a good choice for broadcasters and government agencies. The benefits of higher channel density include efficiencies and cost savings achieved through reduced space requirements and being able to encode multiple channels on one encoding system instead of four. And, as with all Osprey capture cards, quality and reliability come standard.

The Osprey-440 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

Optimized for Live Streaming

The Osprey-440 maximizes the effectiveness and management of your streaming operation through its Designed for Live features, such as Logo Bitmap Overlay (graphics over the video) with transparency and positioning controls. The Osprey-440 automatically detects and adapts on-the-fly when the input video format changes from movie frame rates to TV frame rates.

Multiple Streams per Input

Purchase the Osprey-440 with SimulStream® and you can use any or all of the four available inputs to feed multiple encoders at the same time. Use it with ViewCast Niagara SCX® to easily create and manage live streams in RealVideo®, Windows Media®, Flash® Video and MPEG-4 at the same time, in any combination. Or create multiple streams of the same type from each input, independently, with completely independent settings for sizing, scaling, logos, and bit rate.

Global standards support

Like all Osprey cards, the Osprey-440 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.

Additional inputs and outputs for OEM applications

OEM product developers can take advantage of additional composite video, S-Video, and balanced audio inputs which are available on internal connections on the Osprey-440 circuit board. Security / Surveillance OEMs can also access internal contact closure inputs and alarm relay outputs for custom applications. And there is a versatile Osprey SDK available for custom software application developers.

Compatible with Popular Application Software

The Osprey-440 works with popular video capture and encoding applications, including our own Niagara SCX multi-codec streaming manager. Some of those other cards lock you into a select few applications.
