Hardware maker ViewCast.com (http://www.viewcast.com)announced the Osprey-2000M, a new MPEG2 and MPEG1 card that can be used to create streaming video with Windows Media and RealSystem G2. ViewCast.com will publicly demonstrate the Osprey-2000M at the National Association of Broadcasters trade show in Las Vegas in April.

The new Osprey-2000M is an MPEG encoder/decoder offering bit rates from 1Mbit to 15Mbit for broadcast-quality video.

"An increase in available bandwidth solutions for corporate, government and educational networks, has created a growing demand for uncompromised video quality," said Neal Page, vice president and general manager of ViewCast.com's Osprey Technologies Division.

The Osprey-2000M works in a variety of platform environments, including Windows 2000, NT, Solaris and Linux.

"This broadband trend will continue, and Osprey is responding with products that deliver the highest quality video for these networks," Mr. Page said. "A recent series of non-disclosure presentations on these products were received enthusiastically and we are looking forward to working with application developers utilizing the Osprey-2000M."
