Magewell Pro Capture Mini SDI ¦ One channel HD Mini Capture Card

Description

Magewell Pro Capture Mini card is available with three options in terms of different heat sinks for the card, without, with small heatsink or with large heatsink.

The Magewell Pro Capture Mini SDI Capture Card with/without Heat Sink is a mini PCIe add-on card that allows for capturing a single channel of SD/HD/3G-SDI and SD/HD/3G-SDI loopback. The card supports extraction of SMPTE 352 payload identifier and is capable of performing various video processing features, including cropping, scaling, de-interlacing, aspect ratio conversion, color format conversion, video frame rate conversion, and video OSD composition.

SDI Features
Integrated cable equalizer supporting cable lengths up to 755′ for HD signals
Supports SD/HD/3Ga/3Gb/3Ga-DL/3Gb-DS standards
Supports 2K (2048 x 1080) mode
Supports RGB 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:2:2 color sampling
Supports 10/12-bit color depth
Support for up to 8 (mono) audio channels at 48 kHz (channels 1 to 8 from the 16 available in the SDI spec)
Supports extraction of audio formation information and channel status data
Limited support of 3Gb-DS (only the first stream can be captured)
Limited support for capture of the first link of dual link interfaces (YCbCr 4:2:2 10-bit 1080p 50/59.94/60 is captured as 1080i 50/59.94/60; YCbCr 4:4:4 10-bit is captured as 4:2:2; RGB 4:4:4: R/B sub-sampled)

Multiple Cards Per System
Supports multiple cards in one system
On-board rotary switch to set card number, with 16 positions from 0 to F
System hardware device tree will display 01: Pro Capture AIO when rotary switch is set to 1, and so on
The video and audio device names displayed in your software will include the card number (set by the rotary switch)

Multiple Capture Streams
Unlimited capture streams for any one input channel
Independent cropping, aspect ratio, color format, resolution, frame rate, de-interlacing, and color adjustment settings for each individual stream

Ultra-Low Latency Support
Latency of 64 video lines
Partial notification mode in SDK

Three options are provided in terms of different heat sinks for the card.
