About this product
The Pro Convert SDI TX is the SDI counterpart to the HDMI TX — it takes any 3G/HD/SD-SDI source and encodes it as full-bandwidth NDI for distribution over Ethernet. With an active SDI loop-through, the downstream SDI chain continues uninterrupted while encoding runs.
For broadcast and OB facilities migrating from SDI to IP this is the most common bridge device. Existing SDI camera infrastructure stays in place, but a Pro Convert SDI TX at each camera position adds an NDI feed onto the network alongside it. The production gallery can then choose between the SDI feed (for traditional switchers) and the NDI feed (for IP-based systems like vMix or TriCaster).
PoE-powered, so a single Ethernet cable carries both power and the encoded stream from the camera position. Configured via web UI or Magewell Control Hub.
