Magewell Pro Capture SDI 4K Plus - PCIe Capture Card / 12G-SDI, Quad-link 3G / 4K60

Key features

• 4K60 via single-link 12G-SDI, dual-link 6G-SDI or quad-link 3G-SDI
• Up to 4096×2160p60 with embedded audio
• Low latency of around 64 video lines
• 10-bit processing and hardware timestamp
• PCIe Gen2 x4

How it works

The card fits in a free PCIe slot and registers in the operating system as a standard capture device. The on-board FPGA handles deinterlacing, scaling, colour space and frame rate conversion in hardware, leaving the computer's processor free for encoding, streaming or recording. Each channel can deliver several streams at once, for example in different resolutions for recording and streaming. Multiple cards can be used in one system.

Applications

Broadcast ingest, 4K recording and streaming from broadcast cameras, replay and graphics systems.

Limitations

One 4K channel; no loop-through output.
