The Osprey 1000 is designed to let you do the encoding using the
processor on the card, instead of your computer's processor. I've been
using the Osprey 1000 to encode ClearVideo in hardware, and it uses very
little of the PCs processor, so that we can run the server software off
the same computer without any problems (we're only ever serving a few
viewers at a time, I should mention, but our server is no powerhouse
machine, either).
You can also have setups involving multiple Osprey 1000s encoding live
in one computer, up to 3 or 4, I think.
If you need this kind of functionality, then go ahead and pay for the
1000... keeping in mind that it might be cheaper to put an Osprey 100 in
a bare-bones computer with a decent processor.
