MG-64040 - Magewell Pro Convert SDI plus
Features
The Magewell Pro Convert SDI Plus is a high-performance device designed to convert SDI video signals into NDI® streams, facilitating seamless integration of traditional video equipment into IP-based workflows. This converter supports SDI input resolutions up to DCI 2K (2048 x 1080) at 60 frames per second, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of professional video formats.

Comprehensive Input and Output Options
Equipped with a single SDI input and a loop-through output, the Pro Convert SDI Plus allows for simultaneous monitoring and streaming. The loop-through feature enables direct connection to local displays or recording devices without disrupting the signal flow. Additionally, the device supports 16 channels of embedded audio, ensuring that multi-channel audio is preserved during the conversion process.
Advanced NDI® Encoding Capabilities
Utilizing hardware-based encoding, the Pro Convert SDI Plus delivers low-latency, high-quality NDI® streams up to 2048 x 1080 at 60 fps with 4:2:2 8-bit color sampling. This ensures efficient transmission over IP networks while maintaining the integrity of the original video signal. The device is compatible with NDI 5.x, providing interoperability with a broad range of NDI®-enabled software and hardware solutions.
Flexible Power and Control Options
For ease of installation, the Pro Convert SDI Plus supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing both power and data to be delivered through a single Ethernet cable. Alternatively, it can be powered via a 5V USB connection. The inclusion of a mini DIN-8 port facilitates PTZ camera control using protocols such as VISCA and PELCO, enabling remote operation of compatible cameras over the network.
User-Friendly Configuration and Management
The device features an intuitive web-based interface for configuration and monitoring, accessible through standard web browsers. Users can adjust settings related to video, audio, network, PTZ control, and tally indicators. Firmware updates and advanced configurations can also be managed via this interface, ensuring the device remains up-to-date with the latest features and improvements.
