Video Frame Rates and
Performance
The Osprey-300 Capture Card
can deliver to the host 30 frames
per second (fps) full resolution
NTSC (720x480) as well as 25 fps
full resolution PAL (720x576). The
Osprey-300 uses Direct Memory
Access (DMA) to efficiently
perform this delivery of data to
the host. Once the data is in host
memory, performance is directly
affected by how the data is
processed, transmitted or saved.
The Osprey-300 Capture Card
also supports Direct Show
compatible overlays for displaying
video with minimal load on the
system processor.
