Niagara
Kits with Analog and Digital Inputs
Kits featuring professional audio and video inputs for
analog and digital A/V sources.
Turn
your PC into a high-performance digital streaming machine!
These
Niagara Kit bundles are based on the high-performance
best-of-class Osprey Video streaming capture cards featuring
AES/EBU audio, SDI with embedded audio and DV inputs. Combined
with ViewCast workflow management software, SMIL authoring
tools and encoder management software, you have all the components
that you'll find in our top-of-the-line Niagara
Streaming Systems. |

The
analog/digital Niagara Kits are available as a single channel
kit or a dual-channel kit. The dual channel bundle includes
an additional Osprey Video streaming capture card. To supply
video and audio for both channels, ViewCast also includes
a rack-mount input panel with A/V connectors for both Osprey
Video capture cards.
Add
either of this bundled packages to an Intel Pentium or Xeon-powered
desktop or rack-mount PC and you have created a professional
encoding workstation with single or multi-channel streaming!
