About this product
The Pro Capture Quad SDI 4K is the top of the Pro Capture range — four fully independent 12G-SDI capture channels with 4K-capable processing on a full-height PCIe x8 card. For SDI density per slot at 4K, nothing else gets close.
This card is specified into the largest broadcast and live-production workflows: studios running four 4K SDI cameras, OB trucks handling premium 4K productions, and broadcast galleries doing simultaneous 4K compliance recording on four programme outputs. Each of the four channels has its own FPGA and runs completely independently.
Backward compatibility with 6G, 3G, HD and SD-SDI is built in per channel, so mixed-format input is supported without configuration. Common in facilities migrating from 3G to 12G workflows over time, where the same card needs to handle both vintages of camera.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Pro Capture Quad SDI 4K uses a Full-height PCIe x8 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 Quad SDI 4K 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 Quad SDI 4K 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 Quad SDI 4K accepts 4x 12G-SDI.
The Pro Capture Quad SDI 4K captures at up to 3840x2160 capable across channels.
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.
