Why ForeFront Imaging

More than a distributor — a team you can call.

Magewell technical specialists serving the UK AV, IP, broadcast and live streaming sectors. We design solutions, we don't just ship boxes.

Pre-sales specification

Work with our engineers to design the right Magewell topology before you buy — signal flow, redundancy, network requirements, integration touchpoints.

Channel-friendly

Trade terms for resellers, sub-distributors, AV integrators and service providers. Confidential pricing, drop-shipping, white-glove logistics on request.

Exclusive UK lines

USB Capture range exclusive to ForeFront Imaging in the UK. Pro Capture also held in depth — alongside Eco Capture, Ultra Stream, Pro Convert and the wider Magewell range.

UK-based expertise

Speak to an engineer, not a script. Thirteen years deploying Magewell across live broadcast and production, education and lecture capture, medical imaging, live events and sports, and corporate AV and conferencing.

The kit you can order anywhere. The expertise you can't.

Professional broadcast cameras — the environment ForeFront Imaging hardware is built for

For thirteen years we have been the UK's authorised Magewell distributor, working with broadcasters, AV integrators, system designers, resellers and sub-distributors. We carry the deepest Magewell stock in the country, but stock alone is not what people come to us for.

They come for the conversation that happens before the purchase order. Will this card cope with eight simultaneous HDMI feeds in a live broadcast gallery? What's the redundancy story for a hospital theatre recording rig that can't fail? How does NDI behave on this corporate customer's network? Those questions need an engineer on the other end of the phone, not a chatbot.

That is what we are. A specialist house, holding the kit and the knowledge, in the Midlands.
