world.

AES/EBU inputs. See this professional digital and analog
card demonstrated at the show.

streaming and MPEG? Then the
Osprey-2000 (left) is the card for you. Not only
is this card built on the high-quality streaming capability
that you have come to expect from Osprey, but it also
includes an MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 CODEC. With analog and digital
inputs, the Osprey-2000 completes the offering for digital
media capture cards.

at NAB 2002, you will see our fine line of Niagara streaming
systems built for reliability, durability and also some
for portability!
 The
very cool, very slick NiagaraMAX (right) raises
the bar for streaming portable systems. This compact and
rugged portable is housed in an aluminum briefcase that
fits easily into an overhead airplane bin. But don't let
the cool exterior fool you, under the hood lies two hot
P4 2Ghz processors. Power and portability from
NiagaraMAX! Come see for yourself!
 ViewCast
will also be demonstrating our rackmount streaming
systems in the form of a 2RU and a sleek 1RU. These
workhorses provide quality streaming capabilities powered
by Osprey Video. They are available in single channel
or dual channel streaming and all are bundled with the
Niagara SCX remote control and monitoring software.

systems at NAB (see next story)!
 At
lastly, check out these fantastic software offerings design
to increase productivity and dramatically improve your
workflow!
I'm
talking about the powerful SimulStream software
upgrade to the Osprey streaming capture cards above. This
software package allows you to capture a single video
source and output it to multiple stream at multiple bitrates
in multiple formats. Simultaneously! See
it live at the ViewCast booth.
Also,
see how the Niagara SCX remote control and monitoring
software can simplify your network of streaming encoders!
Niagara
SCX allows any Osprey-based streaming video encoder system
to be remotely monitored and controlled across a network.
You can monitor and control up to 50 encoders! Come see
how all the encoding systems in the NAB booth can be simultaneously
controlled by Niagara SCX!
