The Magewell Pro Capture Quad SDI is a high-performance four-channel PCIe capture card engineered for demanding broadcast, live production, and AV integration environments. Designed to capture up to four independent SD, HD, and 3G-SDI signals simultaneously, it provides a powerful and scalable solution for multi-camera workflows, ingest servers, and professional video systems.
Built on a PCIe Gen2 x4 interface, the card delivers high-bandwidth performance with ultra-low latency, ensuring reliable real-time capture across all four channels. Each SDI input supports embedded audio and operates independently, allowing flexible routing, switching, and recording workflows. Its FPGA-based video processing engine handles deinterlacing, scaling, cropping, color adjustment, and aspect ratio conversion directly on the card, significantly reducing CPU load while maintaining exceptional image quality.
Supporting input resolutions up to 2048×1080 (and higher capture formats depending on workflow) and high frame rates, the Pro Capture Quad SDI is optimized for modern HD production environments. It also supports multiple simultaneous capture streams per input, enabling different output resolutions and formats from a single source for streaming, recording, or monitoring applications.
Designed for continuous 24/7 operation, the card supports multi-card deployment in a single system and integrates seamlessly with Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms. With robust driver support and compatibility across leading production software, the Magewell Pro Capture Quad SDI is a reliable and flexible solution for high-density video capture systems.
