At the NAB Show (booth SL13109), ViewCast will showcase its Niagara streaming media encoders in preconfigured plug-and-play solutions that enable users to quickly capture and broadcast premium-quality audio and video in multiple codecs at multiple bit rates — all simultaneously.

ViewCast’s Osprey video software drivers and video capture hardware power Niagara’s audio/video capture engine. Building on Osprey's legacy for quality and 24/7 live reliability, ViewCast offers the PCI Express Osprey-700 HDe and Osprey-240e video streaming cards.

The Osprey-700 HDe is the ideal solution for users who want to stream HD and SD content for IP video distribution and video-on-demand applications. It automatically adapts to any incoming SD and HD standard without interrupting the encoding session.

The Osprey-240e is a versatile solution that integrates easily into any content repurposing workflow.

It uses an array of designed-for-live features that give broadcasters and multimedia producers 24/7 reliability, logo bitmap overlays and automatic logo sizing and repositioning when switching between any supported SD and HD modes.

The Osprey-240e is designed to offer greater flexibility to video content providers working with varied analog media input and output connectivity. It has a low-profile format that gives it greater usability in smaller form-factor computers.
