About this product

The Magewell USB Capture SDI Gen 2 captures broadcast-grade SDI video with a dedicated loop-through output for local monitoring. Connect any SD/HD/3G-SDI source to your computer via USB 3.0 with no drivers required.

The FPGA-based onboard processing handles all signal conversion in hardware, leaving your CPU free. The SDI loop-through output keeps downstream SDI equipment operational while capturing.
