Instead of treating an HDMI source as a local signal that must stay near the switcher, the Magewell Pro Convert HDMI TX turns it into a Full NDI encoder ready for transport across a managed IP network. A mirrorless camera, box camera, laptop feed, media player or presentation output can be brought straight into an NDI production environment without replacing existing equipment. The unit accepts HDMI up to 2048x1200 at 60 fps, detects the input format automatically and starts cleanly on DHCP networks, which shortens setup time in rental inventory, fixed corporate AV rooms, live stages and broadcast control areas.
For production teams, the value is not only signal conversion but control over how the signal behaves once it enters the network. The encoder supports Full NDI at up to 2048x1200 60 fps in 4:2:2 8-bit, with the option to keep the original output resolution or define a custom one. Deinterlacing, EDID handling, aspect ratio adjustment, frame-rate conversion and up/down scaling can be configured in the Web UI, which helps when integrating cameras, laptops and legacy HDMI devices into mixed-resolution systems. Embedded HDMI audio is carried into the NDI domain, making the unit suitable for lecture capture, worship production, esports desks, multilingual conference rooms and overflow video distribution.
The Magewell Pro Convert HDMI TX also makes sense wherever remote operation matters. It supports PTZ camera control via NDI with VISCA, Visca UDP, Visca UDP2rs232, PELCO-P and PELCO-D, while the shared Mini-DIN connection also supports tally operation for multi-camera directing. In practice, this makes it useful not only as an HDMI to NDI converter, but as part of a centralized camera control layer in podcast studios, university media departments, event venues and compact TV studios where operators need fewer local touchpoints at camera position.
Powering and deployment are equally production-friendly. The unit can run from PoE over Gigabit Ethernet or from USB power, and USB RNDIS/ECM simplifies direct device access during commissioning. Add HTTP APIs, browser-based management and compatibility with software such as OBS, vMix and NDI Studio Monitor, and the result is a converter that fits both mobile flypacks and permanent installations. For teams searching for HDMI to Full NDI encoder, NDI converter for HDMI camera, broadcast IP video encoder or a compact interface for bringing presentation and camera feeds into an NDI system, this model answers the requirement with precise signal handling rather than generic feature talk.

The Magewell Pro Convert HDMI TX 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 2048x1200 60fps with 8bit NDI encoding up to 2048x1200 60fps.
The plug-and-play simplicity of the Magewell Pro Convert HDMI TX 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®
- Supports one HDMI input up to 2048x1200 60fps
- Supports NDI encoding output up to 2048x1200 60fps 4:2:2 8-bit
- 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.
