Description
Product Overview
Magewell Pro Capture Dual SDI is a two-channel professional PCIe capture card for simultaneous SD, HD, 3G, and supported 2K SDI workflows. Two independent SDI inputs capture video with embedded audio, while two loop-through connections pass incoming signals to monitors, routers, recorders, or other downstream equipment. Hardware video processing, multi-stream capture, long-distance SDI equalization, and ultra-low-latency operation make it suitable for broadcast, streaming, recording, and multi-source ingest systems.
Dual SD HD 3G and 2K SDI Capture
Two independent BNC inputs capture professional SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI sources, including supported 2K formats up to 2048 × 1080. The dual-channel architecture allows two SDI sources to be brought into one PCIe workstation for higher-density production and ingest workflows.
Dual SDI Loop-Through Outputs
Two dedicated SMA loop-through outputs pass the incoming SDI signals to downstream equipment while both channels are available for capture. Two SMA-to-BNC cables are included, providing standard BNC connectivity for monitors, recorders, routers, and other SDI devices.
Full 10-Bit Hardware Video Processing
Onboard processing provides full 10-bit video handling with hardware-based cropping, scaling, deinterlacing, aspect-ratio conversion, color-space conversion, frame-rate conversion, color adjustment, and OSD composition for flexible application-specific output formats.
Long-Distance SDI Cable Equalization
Integrated SDI equalization supports cable runs up to approximately 330 meters for SD-SDI, 190 meters for HD-SDI, and 150 meters for 3G-SDI, helping the card integrate into studios, control rooms, venues, and other installations with longer SDI signal paths.
Ultra-Low-Latency Capture Pipeline
Ultra-low-latency capture is specified at 64 video lines, reducing delay between the SDI source and host application. This supports monitoring, live production, visualization, and other workflows where capture responsiveness is important.
Independent Multi-Stream Capture
Multiple capture streams can be generated from an input channel with independent settings for cropping, resolution, frame rate, aspect ratio, deinterlacing, color format, and color adjustment, allowing different applications to use differently processed versions of the same source.
Dual BNC Inputs Dual Loop-Through and PCIe x4
Two BNC connectors provide the two independent SDI capture inputs. Two additional SMA connectors provide corresponding SDI loop-through outputs, with two SMA-to-BNC cables included for standard professional SDI connectivity.
The card connects to the host system through PCIe Gen2 x4, providing the bandwidth required for dual-channel HD capture and onboard processing in professional workstations.
Broadcast Production
Capture two professional SDI feeds from cameras, switchers, routers, or other broadcast equipment.
Live Production
Bring two independent SDI sources into workstation-based production, switching, or streaming systems.
Multi-Source Streaming
