About Osprey SDKs

Custom application development for Osprey cards is done using the free Microsoft DirectShow SDK. DirectShow is a sub-set of DirectX, and is primarily designed for the C/C++ programming language. There is also support for Visual BASIC and C# programming languages, but these provide access to only a sub-set of the DirectShow API functionality. Specific details and further information about DirectShow can be obtained from Microsoft's DirectX web site (www.microsoft.com/directx), the Microsoft Developer Network site (www.msdn.microsoft.com) and from the DirectX/DirectShow documentation.

The free Osprey AVStream SDK supplements the DirectShow SDK with documentation about Osprey-specific features, interfaces, and functionality, and also provides several sample applications with source code in C++.
