osprey-500 dv

    enables real-time streaming from a digital video (dv) source. the osprey-500 dv actually decodes dv video on the card, optionally scales and color converts the resultant digital video, and transfers the digital video directly to the host. the host cpu can then be used to encode the data for streaming. this is far superior to most ieee-1394 dv solutions which capture dv data to the host. in these systems, the host cpu must first decode, scale, possibly color convert, and reformat the data before it can encode it for streaming. decoding on the osprey card leaves the bulk of your cpu power for creating higher-quality video streams.

    osprey-500 pro

    captures digital video and audio in the formats produced by professional-level camera and production equipment, including sdi video and professional digital audio. previous to the osprey-500 pro, the only method available to many professionals for efficiently supplying data to streaming encoders was to first convert digital video and audio to analog and then capture the converted data using analog capture cards. the osprey-500 pro significantly improves quality by completely eliminating this need to go from high quality digital sources to analog.

    osprey-500 dv pro

    includes all the features of both the osprey-500 pro and the osprey-500 dv.
