The Niagara Pro is designed for enterprise IT professionals, professional studios, broadcasters, cable head-ends, ISPs, and a plethora of other professional needs. The Niagara Pro is ideal for IPTV, webcasting, video archiving, and streaming training videos. This powerful system is an excellent choice as the high-end solution for video capture to file for archiving, as well as repurposing video for Internet and Intranet distribution.

The Niagara Pro capture engine is based on ViewCast® Osprey® Video software drivers and professional capture hardware. For over a decade, professionals in search of exceptional quality — from broadcasters to multimedia producers who need 24 hour-a-day, 7 day-a-week performance — have relied on Osprey Video for capturing and streaming content over the Internet.

The Niagara Pro is a professional rack-mountable streaming media appliance designed for high-quality, high-resolution video capturing and streaming. This dual-channel encoder features three EZStream® buttons, which are pre-programmable using the Niagara configuration Web interface. This unique feature allows users to create custom encoding profiles, or use pre-defined encoding profiles, and execute those profiles by simply pressing a single button on the front panel of the Niagara Pro.

The Niagara Pro front panel includes a video confidence monitor, which is selectable by input channel, or can be set to automatically cycle between input channels giving a constant view of the input source video. Niagara Pro also features SDI, S-Video, and composite video inputs with the benefit of embedded SDI, AES-EBU, and balanced and unbalanced audio inputs.

With power to spare, Niagara Pro can deliver two channels of full D1 high-quality streaming video. Niagara Pro features Digital SimulStream, allowing multiple streams from a single channel input. This provides the ability to simultaneously stream multiple resolutions at multiple data rates in multiple streaming formats!
