Osprey Video Raptor Series 945 PCIe Capture Card with 4-Channel 3G-SDI I/O and Genlock

Osprey Raptor 945 features four 3G-Gb/s connections. Ports are bi-directional and work with SD, HD and 3G frame sizes. All 9xx Raptor cards can capture and playback up to 60fps. Each SDI Input supports 16 Audio Channels (8 Stereo Channels) for a total of up to 128 combined Audio Channels between all inputs. A Genlock Input allows for frame synchronization if the card is used in Output Mode.

SimulStream
SimulStream, a standard feature on all SDI models, is an Osprey feature which allows each input to produce multiple parallel output streams with completely independent settings for color space, cropping, scaling, closed caption and overlays facilitating simultaneous delivery to multiple applications.

Diver Features

Automatic signal detection
Seamless Adaption to Input Signal Changes (Framerate & resolution).

Driver Profiles
• Pre-defined properties that are applied to a specific video capture filter
• When profiles are enabled for a device the video capture filter names have the profile number (P0 - P3) embedded in the name (i.e. Osprey-925 SDI-A P0 Video Device 1). Each profile can have completely different settings with the exception of those that are common to the device (i.e. Profiles enabled) and those that are common to individual sub devices (i.e. Loss of Signal)
• Any of the predefined settings can be temporarily or permanently, changed at runtime

Custom Loss of Signal Insertion
• Choice of blue, black or colorbars
• Optional custom user text with custom placement and font selection
• Background and foreground color selections
• Selectable audio tone generation (None, 1KHz, 3KHz)

VBI extraction
• DirectShow-compatible VBI pins are provided on the Video Device Capture Filter. VBI data includes Vertical Interval Timecode (VITC) in both the NTSC and PAL worlds. In NTSC, line 21 Closed Captioning (although it is part of the video interval rather than true VBI data), is commonly treated as VBI data. In PAL, World Standard Teletext (WST) is encoded in the VBI data region.
• The driver delivers VBI data as raw waveforms, which are then decoded by external DirectShow filters. DirectShow provides three filters under the classification "WDM Streaming VBI Codecs" that will decode data from VBI pins:

• CC Decoder
• NABTS/FEC VBI Codec
• WST Codec

CC Extraction
• Both CEA-608 and CEA708 specifications are supported
• Can be delivered as Line-21 Byte Pair or as Line-21 GOP Packet
• CC data available through DirectShow VBI pin on Video Device Capture filter. (Both NTSC, PAL and digital captions)
• Decoded CC available through the DirectShow CC pin on the Video Device Capture Filter. (Only NTSC and digital captions)
• CC data available through V4L2
• Unified driver (common driver for all Raptor cards)

Dual Mono Support
The left and right stereo pair inputs to a device are used as two separate mono channels serving two separate audio capture filters. Connector configuration capabilities (Input, Loopout, Output) should be added. Ability to enable/Disable individual audio channels per connector.
