Product Overview
Magewell Pro Capture DVI is a one-channel HD PCIe capture card for DVI, HDMI, VGA, and Component video sources. Its DVI-I architecture combines digital and analog connectivity with embedded or analog audio, while onboard 10-bit processing handles scaling, deinterlacing, color conversion, frame-rate conversion, and multi-stream capture. The low-profile PCIe design fits professional streaming, recording, ingest, visualization, and integration workstations.
DVI-I Multi-Format Video Capture
The DVI-I input supports both digital and analog video workflows, allowing one card to capture DVI, HDMI, VGA, or Component sources. This makes Pro Capture DVI useful in systems that regularly work with different computer, camera, presentation, and AV signal types.
HDMI VGA and Component Support
HDMI 1.4a capture is available through the supplied DVI-I breakout, while VGA and Component sources are supported through the included adapters. A dedicated 3.5 mm line input provides stereo analog audio for sources that do not carry embedded digital audio.
Full 10-Bit Hardware Video Processing
Two onboard processing pipelines provide approximately 180 Mpixels/s of processing bandwidth each. Hardware functions include cropping, scaling, deinterlacing, aspect-ratio conversion, color-space conversion, frame-rate conversion, color adjustment, and OSD composition.
Ultra-Low-Latency Capture Pipeline
Ultra-low-latency operation is specified at 64 video lines, helping reduce delay between the incoming source and capture application. This is useful for interactive production, visualization, monitoring, and custom processing workflows where capture responsiveness matters.
Multiple Independent Capture Streams
Multiple capture streams can be generated from the single input channel with independent processing settings. Resolution, frame rate, cropping, aspect ratio, deinterlacing, color format, and color adjustments can be configured separately for individual capture streams.
Windows Linux and macOS Compatibility
Native operating-system capture interfaces support deployment across Windows, Linux, and macOS. The card can be used with compatible applications such as OBS, vMix, VLC, XSplit, Wirecast, VidBlaster, VirtualDub, and custom software built with Magewell capture APIs.
DVI-I Video Analog Audio and PCIe
The DVI-I connector is the primary video interface and supports DVI directly while expanding to HDMI, VGA, and Component through the supplied adapters and breakout connections.
A dedicated 3.5 mm line input accepts stereo analog audio, while the PCIe Gen2 x1 interface connects the card to the host workstation. The low-profile design supports compact professional systems as well as standard desktop capture workstations.
