About this product
The Pro Capture Quad HDMI compresses four fully independent HDMI capture engines onto a single full-height PCIe x4 card. For density per slot it is unrivalled — four broadcast-grade HDMI ingests in the space one card occupies.
In live production this is the card behind multi-camera streaming workflows: four HDMI cameras feed directly into vMix or Wirecast for live switching, with each channel running independently in hardware. Common deployments include school esports facilities, multi-camera houses of worship, and small studios where a single production PC handles all four cameras.
Because each channel has its own FPGA processing path, the card handles mixed-format input without compromise — one 1080p60 PTZ alongside three 720p webcams works exactly the same as four matching cameras would. Rated for continuous 24/7 operation, so installation in a permanent live-production rack is straightforward.
