Are there 64-Bit drivers available for the Osprey-300 card? I am trying to switch to 64-Bit computing.

So no 64-bit drivers are being developed?

What about a PCI-Express version of the 300?

Any new 64-bit driver news? Am I the only one wanting to move forward with 64-bit technology?

64 bit drivers are in development.

The Osprey 300 will not have a PCI-E version

There will be other new products

How long will they be "in development" I was told this last year in October. Can we at least get a hint at when they will be release like Q1, Q2, etc..

OK, I just got the XP64 bit and yes, the drivers don't work. What can I do, I have the 560 SDI card? When do you guys plan to have the 64 bit drivers? We need them. Is there going to be 64bit drivers for 560?

thanks

Does anyone from ViewCast read these posts anymore? I am getting very disappointed in the level of communication received here. 64 bit computing is here and it would be nice to take advantage of it sooner rather then later.

Any news here? Got a bunch of Dual-Core 64-bit Computers here which should run with Osprey 230 asap. As we are in middle of a project, it would be very important for us to get that up and running. So anyone heard about when the drivers are out?

 

Thanks,

The 64 bit drivers are about to enter the Beta testing phase. Once the program has been set up a link to a webpage will be posted.

I am dying to get 64-bit drivers for my Osprey 220 card.  I talked to someone from support at Viewcast about 18 months ago and was told they were in development.  If a beta release is to be available soon, I'll test the heck out of it!

Heh, you can tell by the number of views this thread has gotten to tell there is a lot of interest in this.

Currently there is a problem with the 64-bit installer from Microsoft that has put the brakes on a full beta release going public. Apparently Microsoft are aware of it and are working the issue.

Hi,

We recently bought Osprey 230 and have a system with windows XP (64bit).

We cannot use it as no driver is avaiable on site. When is it likely to be released.

We have 6 Osprey-440s and need to run them on 64bit AMD systems.  We are using xp 64 pro.  WHEN can we get the beta version?  We need an answer on this ASAP.

I would not be suprised if they skip a driver release for Win XP x64 and only produce drivers for Win Vista x86 and x64.

I found the beta 64 drivers here:

ftp://ftp.viewcast.com/pub/Beta/X64%20Drivers - ftp://ftp.viewcast.com/pub/Beta/X64%20Drivers

They are still "debugging the 64bit MS installer" but the readme tells how to do the install by hand.  The performace of the drivers is ok but not great.

Enjoy.

Thankyou so much for this post. It has saved me for moving to a 32bit OS on a 64 bit system. And I was not too confident what we will get into.

And yes, at least this driver is usable.

Thankyou
