Description

The Magewell Pro Capture SDI is an ideal solution for applications that require a single flexible card solution. Application areas such as medical, lecture capture, web casting and video conferencing.

The Magewell Pro Capture SDI is a low-profile PCIe 2.0 x1 card that allows for capturing one channel of SD/HD/3G-SDI input via a BNC connector. While also offering a loopback output on a BNC connector. The card supports numerous SDI formats and colour sampling modes, a 2K mode (2048×1080), 10- and 12-bit colour depths, up to 8 audio channels at 48 kHz, and output resolutions up to 2048×2048 with frame rates up to 120 fps. Pro Capture SDI is also capable of numerous video processing features. Which include cropping, scaling, de-interleaving, aspect ratio conversion, colour format conversion, video frame rate conversion, and video OSD composition

Pro Capture SDI supports multiple cards per system and unlimited output streams with independently adjustable parameters per stream. Additional features include ultra-low latency, timestamp and A/V synchronisation, and LED status indicators. The card supports Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems, multiple APIs for Windows and Linux, and provides Windows SDKs for easier integration.
