MAGEWELL Pro Convert SDI Plus

The Magewell Pro Convert SDI Plus (64040) is a high-end video encoder designed to convert SDI signals up to 2048x1080 resolution into high-quality, low-latency NDI® streams. It integrates seamlessly into IP-based production workflows, enabling a smooth transition to modern AV infrastructures. Equipped with an SDI loop-through output, it allows for local monitoring or recording of the video signal. Compact, durable, and easy to deploy, it’s the ideal solution for broadcast professionals, live streamers, AV integrators, and event production teams looking to move to efficient IP-based systems.

• SDI Video Input: Supports standard SDI formats up to 1080p60, including 3G-SDI, with automatic format detection and robust signal locking for professional environments.

• SDI loop output for local video signal display or recording.

• High-performance NDI® conversion: Hardware-based encoder ensures smooth, low-latency NDI® output with high-quality image fidelity and consistent reliability.

• Audio Encoding: Embedded-SDI audio is transmitted as NDI audio streams.

• Gigabit Ethernet with PoE: The RJ45 network interface supports Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af), simplifying installation by combining power and data in a single cable.

• Alternative power via USB Type-B (5V/2A) or PoE

• Mini-DIN-8 port for PTZ control: Enables camera control over IP using common protocols including VISCA, PELCO-P/D, and Visca UDP.

• Automatic signal detection and scaling: Adapts incoming SDI sources to match your production pipeline, ensuring seamless operation with minimal configuration.

• Web-based control interface: Access settings and monitor status via an intuitive web UI, including video, audio, network, PTZ, and tally parameters.

• Full software compatibility: Works flawlessly with all major NDI®-enabled applications, including OBS Studio, vMix, TriCaster, Wirecast, and more.
