Each build covers one platform or product group. Add builds one at a time to complete your system.
💡 Building a complete system? Add each platform as a separate component — e.g. USB Capture for your laptops, Pro Convert encoders for your cameras, Modator for the rack. They all combine into one system build and one quote.

What does this build need to do? Select your primary goal.
💻 Capture to PC OBS, vMix, Zoom, Panopto or any software — your computer does the work e.g. Recording a lecture into Panopto, gaming capture into OBS, Zoom call with a pro camera 📡 Live Streaming YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, SRT or RTMP — with or without a PC e.g. Streaming a Sunday service, sports event, conference or product launch live 🔄 Convert / Distribute Send physical video over a network (encode), or receive from network back to HDMI/SDI (decode) e.g. Sending HDMI cameras across your LAN as NDI — or receiving NDI/SRT and outputting to broadcast monitors 🎬 Live Production Multi-camera switching, GFX, ISO recording and streaming in one device — no PC needed e.g. One operator switching between cameras, adding titles and streaming live to YouTube 📺 Multiview / Monitoring Show multiple NDI, SRT or IP streams on one screen — confidence monitoring or control rooms e.g. A control room screen showing 4 NDI camera feeds at once, or a monitor wall in a gallery ⏺ Standalone Recording Hardware encoder records to USB/SD/NAS — no PC needed e.g. Recording a lecture or service to USB drive — no laptop, just power the encoder 🗄️ Rack System — Modator High-density 2U rackmount chassis with hot-swap encoder and decoder blades — up to 10 blades per chassis e.g. Broadcast facility with 10+ encoders in one rack, mixed HDMI/SDI encode and NDI decode blades

Which direction does your signal flow? Pro Convert hardware encodes physical → network, or decodes network → physical.
➡️ Physical → Network (Encode) HDMI or SDI cameras → NDI/IP over your LAN e.g. Cameras encoded to NDI so any PC on the network can receive them — no new video cabling ⬅️ Network → Physical (Decode) NDI/SRT/RTMP/RTSP/HLS streams → HDMI or SDI output e.g. Receiving NDI feeds and outputting to HDMI confidence monitors or SDI broadcast switchers ↔️ Distribute existing NDI further Already have NDI — re-stream, capture into PC, or bridge to other protocols e.g. NDI source you want to send out as SRT to the internet, or bring into Zoom/Teams as a webcam

What resolution and frame rate do you need? Some options may be disabled based on your source signal — hover for details.
📺 HD up to 1080p60 Standard for most cameras — 3G-SDI or HDMI 1.4 e.g. Most PTZ, DSLR, camcorder and streaming workflows — 1920×1080 is industry standard 🎬 4K at 30 fps Affordable 4K — 6G-SDI or HDMI 2.0 e.g. Cinema/4K cameras outputting 4Kp30 — most common 4K workflow, lower bandwidth than 60fps 🎞 4K at 60 fps Broadcast-grade 4K — 12G-SDI or HDMI 2.0 high-bandwidth e.g. Premium broadcast workflow, sports replay, top-tier production — requires 12G-SDI ❓ Not sure Recommend HD baseline — works for most uses e.g. I don't know what my camera outputs — give me a safe choice that works
