Single-channel multi-format capture: DVI-I, HDMI, VGA, YPbPr, CVBS and S-Video.
Ask us a quick question about this product — signal compatibility, use case fit, or anything technical. We usually reply the same day.
The Pro Capture DVI is the flexible multi-format card for installations where the source format varies day to day — DVI-I, HDMI, VGA, YPbPr Component, CVBS composite, S-Video and stereo audio, all on a single low-profile PCIe x1 card.
For lecture capture and corporate AV this card has been a fixture for years. The reason is simple: lecturers, presenters and visiting guests bring all kinds of laptops with all kinds of video outputs, and the AV system has to handle whatever appears at the lectern. The DVI card swallows almost any video signal and presents a normalised stream to the recording software.
It also remains a popular choice in medical and industrial applications where modern HDMI equipment sits alongside older DVI and VGA imaging hardware that has years of useful life left. The same FPGA processing pipeline as the rest of the Pro Capture range means colour reproduction and frame timing are consistent regardless of input format.

The Pro Capture DVI uses a Low-profile PCIe x1 slot. It will also fit in larger PCIe slots (x8, x16) as PCIe is backward compatible, but will run at the card's native lane width.
The Pro Capture DVI is a capture card. Simultaneous playback (loop-through) depends on the specific model — check the Loop-Through spec in the full specification table. ForeFront Imaging can advise if you need simultaneous I/O.
The Pro Capture DVI works with any software that supports DirectShow (Windows), V4L2 (Linux), or AVCaptureSession (macOS), including OBS Studio, vMix, Wirecast, Capture One, XSplit and most broadcast NLE software. Magewell's free Capture Express software is also available.
The Pro Capture DVI accepts DVI-I, HDMI, VGA, YPbPr, CVBS, S-Video.
The Pro Capture DVI captures at up to 1920x1200.
Yes. Magewell Pro Capture cards are fully supported on Windows 10 and Windows 11. Driver downloads are available free from Magewell's website and from our Software page.
