Product Overview
Magewell Pro Capture Quad HDMI is a four-channel HD PCIe capture card for simultaneous HDMI video and embedded-audio ingest. Four independent HDMI 1.4a inputs bring multiple cameras, computers, switchers, or other compatible sources into one workstation, while onboard 10-bit processing supports scaling, deinterlacing, color conversion, frame-rate conversion, and flexible multi-stream capture for production, streaming, recording, monitoring, and integration.
Four Independent HDMI Inputs
Four HDMI Type-A connectors provide four independent capture channels in a single PCIe card. This high-density architecture allows multiple compatible video sources to be captured simultaneously without relying on an external input switcher.
Embedded HDMI Audio Capture
Each HDMI channel captures embedded digital audio alongside video. Magewell SDK support provides access to compatible IEC60958 and IEC61937 audio with up to eight channels for professional recording, production, streaming, and custom application workflows.
Full 10-Bit Hardware Video Processing
Hardware processing provides full 10-bit video handling with cropping, scaling, deinterlacing, aspect-ratio conversion, color-space conversion, frame-rate conversion, color adjustment, and OSD composition for flexible application-specific capture formats.
Custom HDMI EDID Support
Custom EDID capability helps the capture system present appropriate display capabilities to connected HDMI sources. This provides additional flexibility when integrating computers, cameras, presentation systems, and other professional HDMI equipment.
Ultra-Low-Latency Capture
Ultra-low-latency capture is specified at 64 video lines, helping reduce delay between an incoming source and the host application. This supports monitoring, visualization, live production, and other latency-sensitive workflows.
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 for different applications.
Four HDMI Inputs and PCIe Gen2 x4
Four HDMI Type-A connectors provide independent video and embedded-audio capture channels, allowing four compatible HDMI sources to be connected directly to one workstation.
The PCIe Gen2 x4 host interface provides bandwidth for multi-channel video transfer and onboard processing in professional production, recording, and integration systems.
Live Production
Capture multiple HDMI cameras, switcher feeds, or production sources in one workstation-based video system.
Multi-Camera Streaming
Bring up to four HDMI sources into compatible streaming, switching, encoding, and production applications.
Presentation Capture
Capture several presentation computers or AV sources for events, training, education, and corporate video.
Recording Workstations
Ingest multiple HDMI feeds simultaneously for recording, monitoring, or post-production workflows.
Visualization Systems
Integrate multiple digital video or computer feeds into monitoring, analysis, and visualization applications.
Systems Integrators
Build custom multi-channel capture solutions using Magewell APIs and standard operating-system capture interfaces.
Magewell Support
Coremicro can help confirm HDMI source compatibility, multi-channel PCIe bandwidth requirements, embedded-audio workflows, EDID configuration, supported operating systems, capture applications, driver configuration, and Magewell Capture SDK integration for professional four-channel HDMI video systems.
