Features & Specifications
Product Overview +
Professional SDI Capture for Broadcasting & Streaming
The Magewell USB Capture SDI Plus is designed for capturing professional SDI video signals up to 2K resolution (2048 × 1080). It is widely used in broadcast environments, live streaming setups, and video production workflows where reliable SDI ingestion is required.
Real-Time SDI Loop-Through Monitoring
This device features SDI loop-through functionality, allowing users to monitor video output on an external display while simultaneously capturing the signal into a computer. This is essential for live production and broadcast verification workflows.
Flexible Audio Handling
The device supports embedded SDI audio extraction as well as external analog line-in audio input. Users can either rely on SDI-embedded audio or connect external audio sources for independent capture and mixing.
Hardware-Based Video Processing
Built-in processing pipelines handle scaling, cropping, deinterlacing, and frame rate conversion in real time. This reduces CPU load and ensures smooth capture performance even in demanding production environments.
Broad Software Compatibility
The device is compatible with popular streaming and recording software such as OBS, vMix, Wirecast, VLC, and more, making it highly flexible for different production setups.
