Osprey SimulStream Option

Osprey® SimulStream® is a premium software upgrade that extends the capabilities of Osprey Video capture cards. SimulStream enables a single Osprey Video card to output multiple instances of audio and video data from a single input source to multiple applications at the same time. Use it to:

• Simultaneously send the same live content to many different encoders -- Windows Media®, Adobe® Flash®, MPEG-4, etc.
• Deliver the same live content to different playback devices, scaled and optimized for each device.
• Stream live in one or more popular formats while saving to disk in an uncompressed, editable format.

Reaching the broadest audience with an optimum viewing experience is critically important to any streaming video application. SimulStream lets you individually create, tailor and optimize video for several applications and audiences - all at the same time - live!

SimulStream lets you deliver full-frame video to high-speed Internet users; smaller, lower-rate video to DSL and dial-up subscribers, and optimized video for several different Mobile Device standards, all while saving the same content to a storage device for post-processing and other Video on Demand (VOD) applications.

Advantages:

• Optimized live streams for a diverse Internet and mobile audience
• Independent pre-processing of video for each stream
• Enables multi-format, multi-bit rate, and multi-resolution streaming - all at the same time
• Maximum efficiency without sacrificing quality
• Complete utilization of latest multi-core processors
• Maximum solution density for streaming production
• Reduced total hardware costs
