Introduces Osprey-530 Video Capture
Card
Product captures
both digital and analog content,
provides cost-effective streaming
media solution
Plano, Texas - Sept. 13, 2006 -
ViewCast® Corporation has launched
its Osprey-530 digital video capture
card, the newest addition to the
company's Osprey Studio Series, with
all the inputs and features
broadcast professionals expect.
Available immediately, the card
offers a combination of digital and
analog inputs for live and on-demand
video streaming, and interfaces with
high-end broadcast gear. It is the
direct result of feedback from
broadcast professionals for a
cost-effective solution to their
needs.
"The
Osprey-530 helps professionals
easily capture and convert both
analog and digital video into
streaming content," said Dave
Stoner, president and COO of
ViewCast Corporation. "It's been
developed based on input from
customers and resellers, who wanted
a cost-effective - but equally
feature-rich and reliable - option
to other members of our Osprey
family."
ViewCast's Osprey cards are the
standard in narrowband and broadband
streaming applications, applying
industry-standard formats from Real
Networks and Microsoft. The cards
combine media capture capabilities
with MPEG encoding to deliver
DVD-quality video for networked
streaming applications.
The
Osprey-530 captures, compresses,
transmits, receives, decompresses
and displays full-motion video. Its
features include closed caption
extraction from analog and Serial
Digital Interface (SDI) inputs,
enhanced audio/video synchronization
and analog audio/video outputs for
real-time monitoring.
This
new card is a compliment to the
Osprey-560, which includes all these
features and a DV input.
The
Osprey-530 also integrates with
ViewCast's Niagara® SCX® video
encoders, allowing remote encoder
management and control.
