DALLAS
(April 22, 2003) � ViewCast Corporation, (VCST.OB), a leading
global provider of high-quality video communications for
businesses and media enterprises, announced the Osprey-230
and Osprey-560 as the latest additions to its popular Osprey
Video product line. The Osprey-230 and the Osprey-560 are
ViewCast�s most advanced capture cards for high-performance
streaming media content creation. These new streaming products
debuted at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB
2003) trade show.
The
Osprey-230
is a low-profile analog capture card engineered to meet
the growing needs of digital media content creators and
system integrators. Targeted at mid-tier content creation
professionals, enthusiast/hobbyist, and enterprise communications,
the Osprey-230 offers analog audio video inputs and audio
outputs to meet the requirements of the media professional.
In addition, its new board design allows system integration
into low-profile computer chassis�.
The
Osprey-560
is a professional-grade digital and analog capture device
designed specifically for high-quality streaming media applications.
The faster speeds and higher throughput offered with the
Osprey-560 are blended with high-end inputs, outputs and
advanced features that allow seamless integration with professional
media equipment and workflow environments. The Osprey-560
directly addresses the needs of a broad spectrum of �Pro�
users including news broadcast facilities, Fortune 1000
enterprises, entertainment studios and post-production houses.
"ViewCast's Osprey Video products have long been recognized as key capture components for the production of high-quality live streaming media," stated David Heppe, vice president of marketing and business development of Telestream. "Our customers put a premium on quality and reliability and with our recently announced MAPreview(tm) solution, we are able to ingest, manage and deliver broadcast quality media with breakthrough convenience and simplicity. The new high-performance Osprey-560 allows us to go beyond previous limitations to extend our quality while increasing efficiencies and scalability."
"As a pioneer in the streaming media market, we have consistently made adjustments to our products to meet the evolving needs of content producers and expand our market penetration,� said George Platt, president and CEO of ViewCast Corporation. �Content producers are doing more with digital media than ever before so a new level of performance and flexibility is required. The Osprey-230 and the Osprey-560 take advantage of today�s faster computer platforms allowing media producers to produce better results."
The Osprey-230 and the Osprey-560 are compatible with ViewCast software products including Osprey SimulStream and Digital SimulStream, respectively, and both are compatible with Niagara SCX.
