The Niagara Pro is ideal for IPTV, webcasting, video archiving, and streaming training videos. This powerful system is an excellent choice as the high-end solution for video capture to file for archiving, as well as repurposing video for Internet and Intranet distribution.

The Niagara Pro capture engine is based on ViewCast Osprey Video software drivers and professional capture hardware.

The Niagara Pro is a professional rack-mountable streaming media appliance designed for high-quality, high-resolution video capturing and streaming. This dual-channel encoder features three EZStream buttons, which are pre-programmable using the Niagara configuration Web interface. This uniqe feature allows users to create custom encoding profiles, or use pre-defined encoding profiles, and execute those profiles by simply pressing a single button on the front panel of the Niagara Pro.

The Niagara Pro front panel includes a video confidence monitor, which is selectable by input channel, or can be set to automatically cycle between input channels giving a constant view of the input source video. Niagara Pro also features SDI, S-Video, and composite video inputs with the benefit of embedded SDI, AES-EBU, and balanced and unbalanced audio inputs.
