General
The Osprey-440 is a 64-bit four-channel, multi-port audio and video capture card. This PCI-X
card can process four channels of full-motion (30 fps) video, and audio, from four NTSC or
Description
PAL analog sources. The Osprey-440 features Logo/Bitmap overlay/watermark capability,
audio gain control, and programmable audio sampling rates. Based on the reliability of
ViewCast’s Osprey Video capture card, the Osprey-440 provides multi-source capture
through four composite (BNC) connectors on the faceplate plus additional video inputs via
internal pins on the circuit board.
Audio input connectors are provided via a breakout cable for capturing from four different
audio sources. The breakout cable provides four pairs of Unbalanced Stereo Audio (RCA)
connectors. Internal audio pins are located on the circuit board for Balanced Stereo Audio
input. Multiple cards may be used in a single system chassis.
The Osprey-440 is compatible with the Osprey SDK for development of media applications
supporting Video-for-Windows and DirectShow.
