Roland VC-1-HS is a professional HDMI to SDI converter built for workflows that demand exact signal integrity. It accepts an HDMI source and...
Not every HDMI source belongs on a local cable run. Magewell Pro Convert HDMI Plus moves a camera, laptop, media player or presentation feed into an NDI environment with the kind of control that matters in broadcast, live production and multi-room AV systems. One HDMI input with loop-through lets the source stay available for a local monitor, switcher or confidence display, while the network output places that signal straight onto a Gigabit infrastructure. For teams building IP video systems around OBS, vMix, TriCaster or other NDI-compatible platforms, this unit turns existing HDMI gear into a source that can be routed, monitored and shared across the facility.
On the signal side, the converter accepts up to DCI 4K 4096×2160 at 60p in 4:2:0 or 30p in 4:4:4 / 4:2:2, with support for RGB and YUV BT.601 / BT.709 / BT.2020 formats and 8-channel HDMI embedded audio. The NDI encoder can generate output up to 2048×2160 120 fps in 4:2:2 8-bit, which is useful when integrators need a clean, network-ready contribution feed from cameras, gaming systems, replay servers, digital signage players or conference-room presentation devices. Custom EDID handling helps when source negotiation needs to be controlled instead of left to chance.
What makes the Pro Convert HDMI Plus commercially convincing is not only conversion, but operational control. Through Web UI, Control Hub and HTTP API, operators can adjust deinterlacing, up/down scaling, frame rate, aspect ratio and network settings without touching the source device. PTZ control over NDI, together with Tally support, makes it relevant in lecture capture, houses of worship, esports sets, boardrooms, live events and compact television studios where camera control and status feedback must travel with the signal.
PoE support simplifies installation on truss, behind displays, in racks and at remote camera points, reducing the number of separate power runs. In practice, this means fewer conversion boxes at the control position and more freedom when placing HDMI cameras or presentation endpoints anywhere on the network. For a professional buyer searching for an HDMI to NDI converter, 4K HDMI over IP encoder, NDI converter with PTZ and Tally or a compact bridge between legacy HDMI equipment and modern NDI production, Magewell Pro Convert HDMI Plus answers that requirement with precise signal handling and dependable integration features.

The Magewell Pro Convert HDMI Plus converts one HD HDMI input signal into Full NDI®, enabling users to connect existing source equipment into NDI or IP media networks. This device supports one HDMI video signal up to 4096x2160 4:4:4/4:2:2 30fps or 4:2:0 60fps with 8bit NDI encoding up to 2048x2160 120fps
The plug-and-play simplicity of the Magewell Pro Convert HDMI Plus makes it very easy to use. Once connected, the device will automatically detect the input formats. All network configuaration settings are done through DHCP.
The Magewell Pro Convert Encoders offer aslo a perfect solution for connecting SDI or HDMI cameras into NDI workflows. In addition, the encoders feature PTZ control for centralized and remote control of PTZ cameras.
- Converts an HD HDMI input signal into Full NDI® with loop-through
- Supports up to 4096x2160 60fps (4:2:0) or 30fps (4:4:4), down-converting them to HD NDI
- Connects existing source equipment into NDI-enabled, IP-based media networks
- Plug-and-play ease of use with automatic input format detection and DHCP network configuration.
Easily pair Magewell Pro Convert encoders and decoders
The Magewell Pro convert encoders convert HDM and SDI signals to Full NDI®. Users are also able to encode to NDI|HX® when paired with the Magewell decoders.
Ultra Low Latency
When users choose to transmit video over the network, the transmission latency is often what they care about most. During the entire transmission process, the selection of software and hardware encoders & decoders is very important, which can directly affect the latency of network transmission. The average latency for all pro convert encoders and decoders is 47ms at 1080p@60fps. Read more about latency below.
Easy Access and Installation
The Pro Convert Encoders feature Plug-and-Play and Easy installation. The devices automatically detect your DHCP-based network as well as the video input format. The Magewell web GUI interface offers more flexibility and allows users to control devices and settings.
For a single 1080p or 4Kp60 input, Pro Convert requires 100Mbps to 250Mbps to deliver an NDI stream. A Gigabit network can deliver 6 to 7 1080p60 streams or 2 to 3 4Kp60 streams while guaranteeing stable transmission.
