Osprey Talon G2 Reviews

Fantastic solution!

The Osprey is quite versatile and reliable. We have purchased dozens of the G1 & G2 encoders for use throughout numerous facilities in our extensive network. Our primary use is for multicasting, but we also do a number of unicasts and YouTube streams. Osprey tech support is so helpful and knowledgeable, which is another huge selling point. We have used numerous other manufacturers products (HaiVision, Evertz, Ensemble Design, and Lynx). All of them work fine but Osprey offered the best quality and reliability for the price.

Can this encoder simulcast to more than one platform? (Ex. stream to both Facebook and YouTube simultaneously)
Asked by: Eleazar
No, this is a decoder, not an encoder. It is intended to receive an RTP/UDP multicast/unicast stream and then output it to the HDMI and SDI terminals.
