Introducing Osprey Talon
Osprey Talon G2, G1 and G1H hardware-based streaming contribution encoders are designed for A/V and broadcast customers
tasked with delivering quality video via RTMP, RTP, and UDP over the unmanaged internet.
Talon G1 and G2 can ingest video via 3G-SDI, HDMI, or Analog Composite (CVBS)
Talon G1H supports HDMI and CVBS.
Each Talon encoder uses the same web interface and Osprey BOSS utility to access and configure their features. Functions that
are not part of that model are not visible in the web page.
Using Talon for the First Time
All configuration of Talon is done via the internal web server. If you already know the IP address of your Talon, simply type that
address into a web browser on a computer that has access to your network. You should proceed to the “Login” portion of this
guide.
If you do not know the IP address of Talon, the Osprey BOSS utility is the best way to determine the network location of Talon
and connect with it. As an alternative to installing Osprey BOSS, you can insert a thumb drive into the USB port on Talon. After a
minute, remove the thumb drive and insert it in an available PC. On the drive, you will find a file named “TalonIP.txt” that
contains the IP address.
Osprey BOSS and DHCP
The easiest way to configure the address of Talon is to attach it to a network that automatically assigns IP addresses via DHCP.
Simply connect the network cable and power up the Talon. DHCP will assign the IP address, Netmask, and Gateway. Then you
can use Osprey BOSS from a computer on the same local network to locate Talon and connect to the web GUI. For best results,
be certain your network is connected before switching on your Talon.
Osprey BOSS Without DHCP
If your network does not support DHCP, it is still possible to use Osprey BOSS to discover your Talon and assign a static IP
address. As in the example above, connect Talon to the network and power it on. Because there is no DHCP on the network,
Talon will assign the static IP address of ‘10.10.10.10’. From a PC on the same network, open Osprey BOSS. BOSS will locate the
Talon and display the IP address. It is most likely that this address will not be compatible with your network. Use BOSS to assign
a temporary address to your Talon. Be certain that address is compatible with your network. Then you can use BOSS to access
the web GUI of your Talon. As soon as you log in on Talon, navigate to the “System Control” tab and assign the correct static IP
address in the “Talon IP Setup” dialog. Be certain that you include a Default Gateway in the setup. Talon will not be recognized
unless it has a default gateway assigned. If your network is small and does not require a default gateway, simply repeat the IP
address in the “Default Gateway” location. Do not leave it blank.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When Talon powers up for the first time it waits for a DHCP address. If it doesn’t receive one immediately it
will assign the 10.10.10.10 address. If Talon is set to wait for DHCP and the power and network go down, it is possible that
Talon will power up and assign an address before the DHCP server can respond. If Talon powers up fully and the encoder is set
to auto-start the encoder could fail. If this happens, wait until the network recovers and then power cycle your Talon to receive
the DHCP address.
