Description

Magewell Pro Capture SDI 4K Plus captures one channel of 4K video at 60 fps over single-link 12G-SDI, dual-link 6G-SDI or quad-link 3G-SDI connectivity. Single-link, 12Gb/s SDI provides an elegant solution for professional 4K transport. However a very high proportion of existing equipment still requires quad-link or dual-link connectivity. With support for all three methods, the single-channel Pro Capture SDI 4K Plus card offers compatibility with both the latest and earlier 4K architectures and systems.

Input video can be fed to multiple software applications simultaneously, with independent control of resolution, frame rate and processing.  FPGA-based video processing provides high-quality up/down/cross-conversion, de-interlacing, color space conversion, graphic overlay and more without taking host system CPU cycles away from third-party software — particularly significant because of the quadrupled processing requirements of 4K video compared to HD.

Magewell Pro Capture SDI 4K Plus

 

Magewell Pro Capture HDMI Card supports multiple cards per system and unlimited output streams with independently adjustable parameters per stream. Additional features include ultra-low latency, timestamp, and A/V synchronization, and LED status indicators. The card supports both Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems, multiple APIs for Windows and Linux, and provides Windows SDKs for easier integration.

 

“The Pro Capture SDI 4K Plus is designed to give customers the best of all worlds, supporting the infrastructure simplicity of 12G-SDI while providing compatibility with cameras, broadcast systems and production gear that are not capable of single-link 12Gb/s connectivity,” said James Liu, VP of Engineering at Magewell. “This flexibility is particularly valuable for video production professionals whose equipment may vary between projects, and for systems integrators or OEM developers wishing to offer their customers the most versatile, future-proof solutions.”

Safe upgrade. If power off or system break down occur when the firmware is being upgraded, it will automatically restore to the initial version. This function is only available for firmware version 1.21 and above.
LED Indicator
Status LEDs indicate the working state of each channel:
• Pulsing slowly: idle
• On: input signal locked
• Off: input signal unlocked
• Double blinks: memory failed or FPGA configuration failed
