Magewell Pro Capture Quad HDMI - PCIe Capture Card / 4× HDMI / 2K

Key features

• Four independent HDMI inputs with embedded audio
• Up to 2048×2160 per channel
• 10-bit processing, deinterlacing, OSD and timestamp
• Supports timecode and 3D HDMI
• PCIe Gen2 x4, multiple cards per system possible

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

Multi-camera recording and streaming, vMix and OBS production systems, multiview and capturing several computers.

Limitations

No loop-through and no 4K. HDCP-protected sources cannot be captured.
