ViewCast Corporation announced the availability of the Osprey(R) 825e video capture card, the latest high-definition (HD) card in the Osprey line. Perfect for inputting up to 3G HD-SDI signals, this low-profile, PCI Express(R) (PCIe) card is compatible with small form-factor computers. Flexible Dual Streaming for Up to 3G HD Output: The Osprey 825e has two independent 3G HD-SDI inputs, both ingesting true 3G input (SMPTE 424).

With PCIe x4 connectivity, the Osprey 825e provides more video throughput for current and future HD needs. Equipped with Professional Pre-Processing Features: The capture card comes standard with SimulStream(R) technology and carries the ViewCast and Osprey tradition of the high audio and video quality. Along with more modes and pre-processing features, the Osprey 825e also has automatic HD-SD input detection and switching.

The Osprey 825e, like the Osprey 845e, suits a wide range of applications in broadcasting, enterprise, education, government and global OEM systems integration. Built with the same reliable Osprey drivers, this PCIe card has drivers for Microsoft(R) Windows(R). A Linux operating system driver will be available through the open source community in early 2013.
