SimulStream Upgrades


Supports Linux

Capture, Control and Edit!

Extending ViewCast Osprey Video's capture and streaming reputation into the nonlinear editing market, the NEW Osprey-300 offers simultaneous analog video capture plus the latest in DV capture technology supporting IEEE-1394b (800 mbs).

The Osprey-300 combines the quality and superiority of the industry-leading Osprey Video streaming capture cards with the features of standard IEEE-1394!

And because it is an "all-in-one" video capture card, the Osprey-300 maximizes PCI slot usage.

Certified for Adobe Premiere Pro!

With Adobe Certification, the Osprey-300 provides high-performance capture & device control for real-time editing without rendering!

The Osprey-300 ships with a breakout cable for analog video and audio inputs.

Other analog input breakout options include a breakout box and a breakout rack panel.

 

The Osprey-300 is also compatible with SimulStream for multi-streaming from its analog audio and video inputs. You can create multiple files at multiple data rates from a single analog A/V source with SimulStream.*

* If you need multi-streaming from a DV port, we recommend combining the hardware DV decode capability of the Osprey-500 DV with DV SimulStream.

The Osprey-300 also features PCI-X compatibility providing high-performance/high-bandwidth data transfer. The Osprey-300 is backward- compatible with the standard PCI bus interface as well so it will work in your current system today and be future-ready for your next system purchase tomorrow!
