Using the DVB-ASI Feature
DVB-ASI capture capability is used for satellite, program distribution, telco and cable scenarios. The
Osprey DVB-ASI feature is available for the Osprey 815e/825e/845e capture cards. DVB-ASI
transports MPEG-2 video streams, primarily for television applications over coaxial cable, at up to
270 Mbps. The ASI carrier transport can contain different bit-rate single program transport streams
(SPTS) or multi-program transport streams (MPTS) simultaneously up to the payload capacity of the
link. These streams can include private data, control, and other media information, formatted in an
MPEG-compliant structure.
Note: The Osprey capture card must be branded to support this feature. Cards purchased after July1, 2014 will be delivered
already branded.
