Osprey cards can capture country centric data, which can be streamed to the Internet by an encoding
application. The Video Standard allows you to select a standard used in specific countries or
geographical areas. The Osprey driver has the ability to stream in a number of formats unique to
countries and, or geographic locations. You can change the format on the Osprey card by simply clicking
on the format from the Video Standard drop-down list.
The North American standard is NTSC. The Japanese standard is NTSC-Japan. The five PAL standards, B,
D, G, H, and I are similar, and are treated the same way by the Osprey driver. The driver also supports
PAL-M and N and SECAM video.
The Lines / Hz field changes to match the selected video standard, regardless of what video standard is
actually connected to the input.

Below the Video Standard drop-down list are two checkboxes for Input Format (Figure 15).
Figure 15. Input Format
On the Osprey 240e/450e, when an analog input becomes the media source, the controls provide
adjustments that improve the clarity of video from monochrome sources. When a composite input line
is selected and a monochrome device is attached, the result is a sharper image, as shown in the notch
kill item in Figure 16. This control is only for true monochrome devices, without color capability.
