Osprey Talon

A powerful desktop encoder with 4K, HEVC and 10-bit colour support!

PreviousATEM Mini ProNextHaivision Makito

Streamwell works great with the amazing "Talon" encoder lineup, designed and manufactured by Osprey Video in the USA. These silent beasts tear through the traditional 1080p / 8-bit streaming barriers with support for 4K output with HEVC (H265) video and 10-bit 4:2:2 colour 🦅🌈

These are our recommended settings for streaming into Streamwell from the Talon encoders:

RTMP/RTMPS (H264 8-bit)

Notes:

  • GOP Size should be 1x or 2x the frame rate

  • Encoding profile should be Main or Baseline

  • GOP Mode should be Low Delay P

SRT (H265/HEVC & 10-bit)

Notes:

  • GOP Size should be 1x or 2x the frame rate

  • GOP Mode should be Low Delay P

  • For 10-bit, encoding Profile should be Main 4:2:2 10, not Main 10

  • For 10-bit, Color Processing should be 4:2:2 10-bit

  • SRT Encryption is supported, but not required.

  • H265 and 10-bit are not mutually exclusive.

  • H264 (8-bit) also works over SRT, and is still recommended for sub-second latency.

  • While H265 does use less bandwidth, it also consumes 2x the processing power on both encode and playback for 8-bit, and 3x for 10-bit. There is also an additional few seconds of latency when playing back in a web browser. So just because you can stream H265 doesn't mean you always should 🦖 (See HEVC for more)
