Additional Audio Options with the 800a Audio card
Osprey SimulStream®
A standard feature on all Osprey 800 series cards,
SimulStream allows each input to produce multiple parallel
output streams with completely independent settings for
color space, cropping, scaling, closed caption and overlays
facilitating simultaneous delivery to multiple applications.
Additional Features
Signal Loss: In the event of signal loss, the Osprey card
automatically replaces the lost video with color bars with
options for text overlay and audio tones. This feature helps
prevent unplanned stoppage of downstream applications
upon signal loss.
Video Pre-Processing
VBI/VANC closed-caption extraction/on-screen rendering
Logo/bitmap overlay
Scaling, cropping, de-interlacing and inverse telecine
ProcAmp control
Vector Scope and Lumi Scope
Driver Support
Microsoft® DirectShow® API
Linux
Osprey SDK:
An Osprey SDK is also available to allow developers to take
full advantage of the Osprey 800e driver capabilities.
Osprey 800a Audio Input Expansion board
The Osprey 800a audio input card is a separate expansion
board that adds two pairs of balanced audio via XLR
connectors along with two additional pairs that can be
configured as either unbalanced (RCA), AES/EBU (XLR) or
SPDIF (RCA).
See the Osprey 800a audio input card datasheet for details.
