ViewCast introduces Osprey Ease

ViewCast Corporation has announced the release of an exciting new product, Osprey Ease, for the rapidly growing market of video users desiring high-quality capabilities at an affordable price.
Osprey Ease combines the power of the Osprey-300 video capture card with the editing flexibility and creative control found in Adobe Premiere Elements. The resulting product provides a cost-effective video capture, editing, streaming, and DVD authoring tool that is ideal for corporate communications departments, business video specialists, and multimedia producers.
"By integrating an inexpensive yet robust Adobe editing solution, we are now able to offer a complete video editing and authoring package that provides business video specialists and multimedia video producers with an efficient and cost-effective end-to-end video production tool," said Horace Irwin, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at ViewCast. "Our agreement with Adobe will allow ViewCast customers to combine the best capabilities in video capture with industry-leading editing and authoring software."
Osprey Ease includes the Osprey-300, an analogue video capture and streaming card that includes an OHCI compliant DV (FireWire) port. Using Adobe Premiere Elements and digital video (DV) devices, such as DV cameras and DV decks, users can capture, control, edit, and stream professional quality videos. OHCI provides the user control features of their DV device from their desktop: stop, rewind, and record.
The Osprey-300 also provides simultaneous capture and real-time video streaming through the analogue port and direct capture from DV devices into Adobe Premiere Elements for DVD authoring. The Osprey-300's PCI-X bus compatibility delivers the high-performance, high-bandwidth data transfer that is needed to capture full-resolution DVD-quality video.
