Magewell Pro Capture HDMI – One of their most popular products, is an ideal solution for applications that require the capture of HD or SD sources in real time. Typical applications include: Viewing HDMI or Analog sources from PCs, MACs, Industrial/medical equipment; cameras, game consoles and other video equipment. Also includes Streaming video or Broadcasting application.

The Magewell Pro Capture HDMI leverages a PCIe x1 bus interface. The Pro capture card is also compatible with Magewell’s software developer kit (SDK). This allows third-party developers to take advantage of the card’s features in their own custom software applications; and turnkey solutions. Other models include single, dual and quad input variants; the single input card Pro Capture HDMI features an additional 9-pin D-Sub connector for Composite / Component / S-Video input all with audio.
