Osprey 450e A/V Option

The Osprey 450e video capture card is a PCI® Express card designed to simultaneously capture four
independent channels of analog video and unbalanced stereo audio signals and process them
independently, minimizing internal PC space requirements. The Osprey® 450e audio/video (A/V)
option includes additional internal video inputs and four additional balanced audio inputs that can
be switched in as alternatives to the rear panel connectors. The internal video inputs include the
selection of component or Y/C (S-Video) for each of the 4 channels or 3 additional composite inputs
for a total of 12 composite inputs per video capture card.

ViewCast provides the following cable/panel options for the A/V option:

 95-00459 Osprey 450e A/V Option
 95-00460 Osprey 450e/440 Breakout Panel
 95-00462 Osprey 450e Balanced Audio Panel
 95-00463 Osprey 450e Component Video Panel

This guide lists the steps for installing an A/V option board to the Osprey 450e video capture card.
This installation requires the following actions:

 Connect the A/V option board.
 Configure the additional video and balanced audio inputs.

NOTE: A grounding strap should be used when performing these actions.
