Description

Magewell Pro Capture SDI 4K Plus captures one channel of 4K video at 60 fps over single-link 12G-SDI, dual-link 6G-SDI or quad-link 3G-SDI connectivity. Single-link, 12Gb/s SDI provides an elegant solution for professional 4K transport. However a very high proportion of existing equipment still requires quad-link or dual-link connectivity. With support for all three methods, the single-channel Pro Capture SDI 4K Plus card offers compatibility with both the latest and earlier 4K architectures and systems.

Input video can be fed to multiple software applications simultaneously, with independent control of resolution, frame rate and processing. FPGA-based video processing provides high-quality up/down/cross-conversion, de-interlacing, color space conversion, graphic overlay and more without taking host system CPU cycles away from third-party software — particularly significant because of the quadrupled processing requirements of 4K video compared to HD.

Features

Capture one 12G-SDI signal in one of the following connecting methods:

Low-profile PCIe x4
Single-link 12G-SDI
Dual-link 6G-SDI
Quad-link 3G-SDI
