Osprey-2000
MPEG-2 CODEC and streaming capture card with analog inputs

The Osprey-2000 is the base MPEG encoder and encoder coupled with capture card capabilities. All inputs and outputs are analog.

The inputs include:

• Analog Composite
• S-Video
• Unbalanced and Balanced Audio

Osprey-2000 DV Pro
MPEG-2 CODEC and streaming capture card with SDI, AES/EBU, DV and analog inputs

The Osprey-2000 DV Pro includes everything found on the above models plus an IEEE-1394 port for DV input. This DV input also provides real-time decoding of DV in hardware. The resulting decode is a digital uncompressed audio and video stream.

Audio and video can be selected just like the other inputs for capture or for MPEG encoding, facilitating DV to MPEG transcoding as well as capture of decompressed DV in real-time.

The Osprey-2000 ships with a breakout cable for video and audio inputs and a special audio and video output cable. There are several other breakout options available for the Osprey-2000 to meet your specific work environment requirements which are a breakout box and a breakout rack panel.

The breakout box for the Osprey-2000 has inputs for composite video, S-Video, balanced & unbalanced audio, and digital audio. It also features unbalanced (RCA) and balanced (XLR) audio connectors. Additionally, the right XLR balanced input is used as the digital AES/EBU audio input.

A rack mount version of the breakout box is also available. The 1U rack input box has the same type of inputs as the breakout box but provides an additional set of inputs. This provides rack-savings benefits when using multiple Osprey-2000 streaming capture cards.
