ViewCast's
new high definition (HD) digital video capture card, the Osprey®-700
HD, is the recipient of the 2007 STAR (Superior Technology
Award Recipient) Award. The award was presented by the editorial
staff of TV Technology Europe magazine at the IBC2007 conference
in Amsterdam.
The STAR Award celebrates and showcases the preeminent technological
innovations available to the broadcast industry. A panel of
judges consisting of TV Technology editors and columnists
reviewed a variety of products, examined the technical applications
and their overall contribution to the industry, and then submitted
their award nominees.
"STAR awards are given to interesting new products that
help a user save money or accomplish a task in an easier way,"
said Mark Hallinger, editor of TV Technology Europe. "The
products selected help advance the industry — some were
chosen because of technical novelty or innovation, some because
they filled an important gap in the production or transmission
chain, and some because they were just cool products."
"ViewCast is extremely pleased to receive this industry
recognition for the new Osprey-700 HD," said Dave Stoner,
ViewCast's president and COO. "Given the hundreds of
new products displayed at IBC this year, it is an honor to
be selected as one of the leading innovative products introduced
at the IBC show."
The Osprey-700 HD is an HD-SDI and SD-SDI A/V input card designed
for broadcasters and content owners needing to repurpose live
or archived HD and standard definition (SD) content for IP
video distribution and video-on-demand applications. The card
automatically adapts to any SD or HD input, on-the-fly, without
any user intervention.
It was designed specifically to meet the real-world needs
of broadcasters. As the first HD-compatible product from ViewCast,
the Osprey-700 HD is a member of the new PCIe® family
of ViewCast Osprey capture cards developed for next-generation,
high-performance broadcasting and streaming media systems.
