It is well-suited to enterprises in need of a multi-channel stream corporate television solution as well as service providers or broadcasters looking to add OTT delivery to their offerings.

Osprey 210e Offers Professional Quality Video and Audio at an Attractive Price
With a solid Microsoft® DirectShow interface and high reliability, the Osprey 210e is the ideal choice for video and audio capture for end users and systems integrators. The capture card has a low profile form factor and is built on the PCI® Express bus technology to enhance video performance. With on-board analog stereo audio inputs, the Osprey 210e is perfect for low-cost systems needing one video input and one unbalanced stereo audio input.

"The Osprey 210e card signifies our continued commitment to offer the highest quality video and audio at a competitive price to our entire range of end users, from service providers and broadcasters to enterprises and government organizations," said John Hammock, President and CEO of ViewCast, a developer of industry-leading solutions that enable companies to capture and deliver video to broadband and mobile networks.
