Magewell Pro Capture HDMI

Magewell Pro Capture HDMI Card 1-Channel

Capture HD video for broadcast and editing using this Pro Capture HDMI Card from Magewell. The card is a low-profile PCIe x1 card that allows for capturing a single channel of HDMI input. It supports capturing component plus audio, composite plus audio, and S-video plus audio via the included DB-9 breakout cable. It supports HDMI plus embedded audio via the HDMI port.

The card supports multiple color sampling modes, 10-bit and 12-bit color depths, up to 8 audio channels at 48 kHz, and output resolutions up to 2048 x 2160, with frame rates up to 120 fps. It is capable of numerous video processing features including cropping, scaling, de-interleaving, aspect-ratio conversion, color-format conversion, video-frame-rate conversion, and video OSD composition.

Pro Capture HDMI Card supports multiple cards per system and unlimited output streams with independently adjustable parameters per stream. Additional features include ultralow latency, timestamp and A/V synchronization, and LED status indicators. The card supports Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems, multiple APIs for Windows and Linux, and provides Windows SDKs for easier integration.
