Magewell Pro Convert for NDI to AIO
Feed an HDMI screen and an SDI system from one NDI or IP stream at the same time, at up to 1080p60.
- ✓HDMI and SDI outputs carry the decoded picture at the same time, each up to 1920×1080 at 60 fps, so one box does the work of two converters
- ✓Decodes one stream at up to 2Kp60: NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX, HX2 and HX3, RTSP, HTTP, HLS, RTMP and MPEG-TS over UDP, SRT or RTP
- ✓SDI output is SD, HD or 3G-SDI on BNC and HDMI output is HDMI 1.4, so you can keep one model for both kinds of site
- ✓Eight channels of embedded audio at 48 kHz on each output, so sound travels with the picture
- ✓Powered by standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af) at about 5.5 W, so there is no socket to find, or by the supplied 5 V USB adapter
- ✓Set it up from a browser or with the menu buttons on the unit, with nothing to install

Some jobs need network video on a screen and in an SDI system at once: a confidence monitor in the room and a feed into the vision mixer, for example. The Pro Convert for NDI to AIO does both from one small standalone NDI decoder. It takes one video stream from the network and sends it out on HDMI and on SDI, up to 1920×1080 at 60 frames per second. AIO stands for all in one: one box covers both kinds of connection, which saves you choosing between an HDMI model and an SDI model.
Both outputs work at once
The decoder outputs HDMI and SDI simultaneously. The same decoded picture is on both connectors at the same time, so one unit can feed an HDMI screen in the room and an SDI input on a vision mixer or router, instead of a decoder plus a separate converter.
Both outputs carry the same source, one stream at a time. For two different sources, use two decoders.
What goes in
- NDI. NDI High Bandwidth (the full-quality version) and the compressed NDI HX, HX2 and HX3 versions, with support for NDI 6.3.
- Streaming protocols. RTSP, HTTP, HLS, RTMP (pull or push) and MPEG-TS over UDP, SRT or RTP. That lets you decode a stream from another site as well as NDI on the local network.
- Codecs. SpeedHQ, H.264 and H.265 video, with AAC and MP3 audio.
- Resolution. Streams of up to 2Kp60.
What comes out
- HDMI. One HDMI 1.4 output, up to 1920×1080 at 60 fps. The unit reads the display’s EDID, which is the list of formats the screen says it accepts, and sends its preferred format, which saves you setting the output by hand for each screen.
- SDI. One BNC output carrying SD, HD or 3G-SDI, up to 1920×1080 at 60 fps, including interlaced 1080i and standard-definition formats, so it suits older SDI equipment as well as current kit. The 3G-SDI cable distance is 130 m, which lets you place the decoder well away from the mixer or router.
- Audio. Eight channels at 48 kHz embedded in each output, so there is no separate audio cable to run.
- Captions. The SDI output supports CEA-608 and 608-over-708 closed captions.
One network cable for power and video
- Power. Standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af) through the network cable, or the supplied 5 V / 2.1 A adapter and USB cable. Maximum consumption is about 5.5 W, so an ordinary PoE switch port is enough.
- Size. 100.9 × 60.2 × 23.3 mm. An L-bracket is supplied for mounting, so you can fix it out of sight.
Setting it up
- From a browser. The Web UI shows the device and signal status and lets you choose the source and set output resolution, de-interlacing, on-screen display, audio gain and channel mapping. You can do all of that from any computer on the network.
- On the unit. MENU and SELECT buttons bring up a menu on the connected screen, so you can change source on the spot.
- Many units. Decoders can be registered with Magewell Control Hub, and HTTP APIs are provided for control systems.
Where it sits in the range
Choose this model when you need SDI, or HDMI and SDI together, at HD resolution. For a 4K HDMI picture, the Pro Convert for NDI to HDMI 4K goes up to 4096×2160 at 60 fps on its HDMI output. Single-output HD models are the NDI to HDMI and NDI to SDI. All are listed on the Pro Convert decoders page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Both outputs work at the same time and carry the same decoded picture, so you can feed a screen and an SDI system from one unit.
Both outputs show the same stream. For two different sources, use two decoders.
1920×1080 at 60 frames per second on each output, from streams of up to 2Kp60. For 4K over HDMI, see the Pro Convert for NDI to HDMI 4K.
NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX, HX2 and HX3, RTSP, HTTP, HLS, RTMP pull or push, and MPEG-TS over UDP, SRT or RTP, so it serves as an NDI to SDI converter and as a decoder for remote streams. Video codecs are SpeedHQ, H.264 and H.265.
Standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af) is enough, with a maximum of about 5.5 W, so an ordinary PoE switch port will run it. It can also run from the supplied 5 V / 2.1 A adapter over USB.
Eight channels at 48 kHz are embedded in both the HDMI and the SDI output, so sound follows the picture on either cable.
The decoder, a power adapter, a USB Type-A to Type-B cable and an L-bracket, so you have power and mounting covered where there is no PoE.
