NOTE: Writing to file does not stop immediately when the encoder stops. For this reason, you must wait
at least 1 minute to make sure the write is finished before removing the storage device or turning off
Talon.
Finding your encoder with Osprey BOSS
If your Talon is powered up and attached to the local network Osprey has included an application that
allows you to use a browser on another computer to locate the encoder and access it via the network.
The Base Osprey System Supervisor (BOSS) discovers Osprey Talon devices on the network by
broadcasting data packets to all IP addresses within your PC’s subnet (i.e. the IP range that your PC is
currently in). BOSS can be used if you do not know the exact IP address of your Talon systems. You do
need to know the IP subnet on which Talon is installed.
BOSS will not locate Talon if:
You are using a router in your network to connect across subnets.
Your network is firewall-protected. The UDP broadcast may not be permitted unless Port 10024
is open.
If you are unable to locate Talon, please ensure it is on the same physical and logical section of
your network and that broadcast traffic is allowed on port 10024 with a broadcast address of
224.0.0.212
To use BOSS:
Download the from the link at www.OspreyVideo.com. There are versions available for PC, MAC
and Linux.
Install the application on a computer located on the same IP Subnet as Talon.
Launch BOSS
When the BOSS screen appears, click the “Refresh” button.
