Description
Product Overview
The Magewell Pro Convert SDI 4K Plus converts professional SDI video into NDI High Bandwidth for broadcast, live production, streaming, and AV-over-IP workflows. It accepts SD, HD, 3G, and 6G-SDI signals up to 4096×2160 30fps while providing SDI loop-through and support for up to 16 channels of embedded audio. Gigabit Ethernet, PoE, WebUI management, PTZ control, and flexible video processing make it a powerful bridge between existing SDI equipment and network-based production systems.
6G-SDI to NDI High Bandwidth
Convert professional SDI sources into real-time NDI High Bandwidth streams for IP-based production. The encoder supports SD, HD, 3G, and 6G-SDI signals and brings existing broadcast equipment into flexible networked media workflows.
4K30 SDI Input and Loop-Through
The BNC input accepts video up to 4096×2160 30fps while a dedicated SDI loop-through keeps the source available for monitors, routers, recorders, or other downstream equipment. Single-link 6G-SDI simplifies 4K connectivity with professional video systems.
16-Channel Embedded Audio
Up to 16 channels of SDI embedded audio can be carried from the source into the network workflow. NDI encoding also supports up to 16 embedded audio channels for multi-channel broadcast, production, and professional AV applications.
Gigabit Ethernet with PoE
The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connection carries NDI video over standard IP networks. IEEE 802.3af PoE enables compatible network infrastructure to deliver power and data through one Ethernet cable, simplifying installation in studios and integrated AV environments.
Advanced Video Processing
Configurable processing includes deinterlacing, up and down scaling, frame-rate control, and aspect-ratio adjustment. NDI output can match the input resolution or use a supported custom resolution, while HDR HLG support extends compatibility with modern workflows.
PTZ Tally and Remote Management
Compatible PTZ cameras can be controlled through NDI using VISCA and PELCO protocols. WebUI, Magewell Control Hub, HTTP APIs, Mini-DIN 8 connectivity, and tally support provide flexible control for live production and integrated AV systems.
