 Niagara™
Streaming Systems Overview
The ViewCast Niagara family of streaming video encoders and
servers have been designed from the ground up to provide reliable,
pre-configured, plug-and-play solutions enabling you to quickly
implement broadcast premium quality audio and video over the
Internet or corporate enterprise.
 We
began by using our award-winning, industry-leading Osprey
streaming video capture and CODEC boards. We integrated these
Osprey analog and digital capture boards and CODEC's into
the powerful, reliable, and cost-effective Niagara platforms.
Then, we added our Niagara
SCX software for full-featured remote workflow automation
and control.
The
result is fully-optimized and tested 1U, 2U, and portable
Niagara baseline system platforms.
 These
plug-and-play streaming solutions are ideal for virtually
any streaming, archiving, or video production application.
Additionally,
there are a variety of hardware and software options and bundles
that are available for all Niagara system products.
