Discover the power of Osprey multi-channel technology.

The Osprey 460e card is a powerful professional card capable of simultaneously capturing and streaming multiple independent channels. Perfectly suited to high-density encoding applications, the Osprey 460e will streamline your workflow by delivering the best possible video quality for your capture and streaming applications.


Reduce system costs.

Thanks to its PCI Express® (PCIe) architecture, the Osprey 460e is designed to simultaneously capture four independent channels of analogue video signals and unbalanced stereo audio and process them independently, thus minimising internal PC space requirements. The channel density offered by the Osprey 460e significantly reduces total system cost by increasing capture capacity within a single system.

The Osprey 460e A/V option provides additional video inputs and four balanced stereo audio inputs to connectors on the rear panel. Optional video inputs include a component or Y/C (S-Video) selection for each of the 4 channels or 3 additional composite inputs for a total of 16 switchable composite inputs per card.

PC manufacturers have adopted the PCIe bus as the standard for high-speed internal bus architectures. Osprey cards optimise this architecture and unleash the power of modern multi-core PC engines with unhindered access to all PC resources. This capability means more power for your most demanding streaming applications.


Optimised for live streaming.

Take advantage of advanced video pre-processing features such as logo/bitmap overlay with transparency and positioning controls, de-interlacing and closed caption extraction and rendering. The Osprey 460e automatically detects and adapts on the fly when the input video format switches from film frame rates to television frame rates.


Multiple streams per input.

Add SimulStream® to the Osprey 460e and stream to multiple devices - in different formats, bit rates and resolutions - simultaneously from a single video source. You can stream multiple streams from a single channel in Adobe® Flash®, Microsoft® Windows (SilverlightTM), 3GPP or H.264 formats, all at the same time. The Osprey 460e is the ideal solution for meeting the current demands of the multi-platform digital media market.
