OverviewWe wanted to test the quality difference between the Osprey 100 and the Aver video capture card. -Both of these cards have been tested for use with EasyWorship. The Osprey does cost more, but is this cost worth it?Test Machine:Athlon 1.8Ghz, 1Gb RAM, GeForce FX video card. Osprey 100 and Aver DVD Maker PCI Capture cardsWindows XP, EasyWorship 2.3.9 Osprey Driver Version 2.2.2 TestingWe tested the 2 capture cards with a Sony DVD player used as the source. We played the menu sequence of StarWars. We could have used a video camera instead, but thought the DVD would help us tell the difference in quality more easily.ResultsThese 2 images were taked with a camera. The bottom-left corner is a close up, click the image for a biger image.   Click the image to view a larger version The images show that the Osprey 100 card produces an image that is both clearer and has better colour. (take a closer look at the text, and the little people on the right) This was only a quick and simple test, we'll do futher testing and report back. {mosˍfbˍdiscuss:2} |
