The Magewell Pro Capture SDI is a PCIe 2.0 capture card for HD Video. It supports SD/HD/3G-SDI input and loopback

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.

Magewell Pro Capture SDI

 

The Magewell Pro Capture SDI supports Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. Compatible with all popular encoding, streaming, live production, web conferencing, lecture capture, medical imaging and VR creation software. A comprehensive SDK lets third-party developers directly leverage the full, advanced feature set of Magewell cards in custom software applications and turnkey solutions.

Firmware Upgrade
Multiple cards in one system can be upgraded simultaneously
Cards can be upgraded without a system power shutdown (In most cases, even a reboot is not needed)
Safe upgrade. If power off or system break down occur when the firmware is being upgraded, it will automatically restore to the initial version. This function is only available for firmware version 1.21 and above.
LED Indicator
Status LEDs indicate the working state of each channel:
• Pulsing slowly: idle
• On: input signal locked
• Off: input signal unlocked
• Double blinks: memory failed or FPGA configuration failed
