Setting Driver Properties  

After installing the Osprey card and AVStream driver, you need to access the card’s settings and possibly 
modify them to fit your needs. This manual takes you step-by-step visually through the card settings. 
Start by opening the Osprey Config utility. Afterwards, we can explore the driver. 

You need to use a DirectShow application such as Microsoft Windows Media® Encoder or 
RealProducer®. We also access card property pages through Osprey Config, the utility bundled with our 
4.6 driver suite. Once installed you can see the card’s default settings and change them as needed. 

To open Osprey Config click 

All Programs

 in the Start menu of your Windows computer

Figure 4. Accessing the Osprey Config Utility 

 

Note: Other DirectShow applications can find the property page too. If you use a third-party 

application, you will find how to access the card’s settings in the third-party application’s 
documentation.
