Niagara Kits
Hardware and software bundles designed to provide everything needed to turn your PC into a high-performance streaming machine!

The Niagara Kits are a combination of ViewCast streaming hardware coupled with our workflow management and encoder control software - all the components that you find in our high-performance Niagara Streaming Systems.

Designed for today’s high performance systems, Niagara Kits deliver professional-level features and functionality, such as PCI-X compatibility, for best-quality video capture and streaming results.

Add these bundled packages to an Intel Pentium or Xeon-powered desktop or rack-mount PC and you have created a high-performance streaming workstation!

The Niagara Kit includes:

  • Osprey Video high-performance streaming capture card - The Osprey brand is the critically-acclaim standard for streaming capture cards around the world! Your Niagara Kit will include either an analog A/V input Osprey card or an analog and digital A/V input Osprey card. Two-channel A/V kits are also available which include an additional Osprey card plus A/V input rack panel with inputs for both Osprey cards.

  • Niagara SCX - Stream Control eXtension. A powerful software package that provides the ability to control multiple encoders from a single interface PLUS remote encoder control from any networked PC including laptops! Full access is provided to view and set encoding parameters, start and stop the encoding process, and receive notification of identified error conditions! Using the Niagara SCX allows you the freedom to manage several encoders and encoding sessions from any networked location!

  • SimulStream - multi-streaming power in a single encoding session. This software module allows multiple bit rate and multiple format streaming simultaneously from a single video and audio source! SimulStream is designed to provide the optimized experience of providing the appropriate file format and video resolution for each client viewing the video. Plus SimulStream will streamline your workflow since in one pass you can generate many streams instead of having to run multiple sessions, one after another. SimulStream provides the best of both with multiple formats to multiple audiences with minimal hardware and CPU impact. SimulStream is an absolute must for multi-streaming!
  • 19" Rack-mount Break-out Panel - Niagara Kits include breakout cables for A/V inputs and outputs. However if you purchase the rack panel bundle option, the Niagara Kit will provide one additional Osprey card plus the ViewCast rack mount break-out panel in lieu of cables. This bundled option provides the ability to build a dual A/V channel streaming system for capturing video and audio from two A/V sources at the same time.

There are four different Niagara Kit bundles to choose from. We offer two analog A/V input packages (single or dual channel kits) and two analog/digital A/V input packages (single or dual channel kits).
