Product Description
The Magewell Pro Capture Dual SDI is a dual-channel SD/HD/3G-SDI video capture card with a PCIe Gen2 x4 host interface. It features two BNC inputs and two SMA loop-through outputs, supporting SDI input resolutions up to 2K (2048x1080) and capture resolutions up to 2048x2160. An on-board integrated cable equalizer extends effective SDI cable reach up to 330m for SD-SDI, 190m for HD-SDI and 150m for 3G-SDI. The card provides two full 10-bit video processing pipelines at approximately 180Mpixels/s each, with hardware de-interlacing, cropping, scaling, aspect-ratio conversion, color-space conversion, frame-rate conversion and OSD overlay. It supports RGB 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:4:4 and YCbCr 4:2:2 color sampling at 10/12-bit color depth. Hardware 100ns timestamping and SG-DMA transfer deliver precise A/V synchronization and ultra-low latency of just 64 video lines. An on-board 16-position rotary switch enables multi-card operation in a single host. The low-profile short-card form factor suits professional SDI multi-source capture, live switching, broadcast monitoring, medical imaging and education workflows.
