About this product
The Pro Capture HDMI 4K Plus captures a single HDMI 2.0 source at the full 4K60 — the format that modern 4K HDMI cameras and players output natively. Low-profile PCIe x4 form factor means it fits in 1U rack servers, which matters more than it sounds: most permanent broadcast and ingest infrastructure is rack-mounted, and a card that fits in 1U slots into existing workflows without chassis rebuilds.
For premium production workflows — broadcast galleries handling 4K feeds, post-production ingest, and high-end live-streaming setups — this card is the standard recommendation. The 4K60 output of professional HDMI cameras is captured as-is, no frame dropping, no half-resolution compromise.
The same FPGA processing technology as the rest of the Pro Capture range means colour reproduction, gamma handling and frame timing are broadcast-grade rather than consumer-grade. 24/7 continuous-operation rating means it is suitable for permanent installation.
