Product Description
The Magewell Pro Capture Quad SDI is a quad-channel SDI video capture card with a PCIe Gen2 x4 host interface. Its four BNC inputs simultaneously accept SD-SDI, HD-SDI and 3G-SDI signals, with a maximum input resolution of 2048x1080 per channel. An integrated cable equalizer extends signal reach to 330m for SD-SDI, 190m for HD-SDI and 150m for 3G-SDI. Two full-pipeline 10-bit video processing engines (each ~180Mpixels/s) deliver hardware de-interlacing, cropping, scaling, aspect-ratio conversion, color-space conversion, frame-rate conversion and OSD overlay, while hardware 100ns timestamping and SG-DMA transfer achieve precise A/V synchronization and ultra-low latency of just 64 video lines. An on-board 16-position rotary switch enables clear card identification in multi-card systems, and each input channel supports unlimited independent capture streams. The card is suited for multi-source SDI broadcast capture, live production switching, professional video production and broadcast-grade monitoring.
