    When a broadcast facility or live production site needs to bridge legacy SDI infrastructure with modern IP-based video networks, the Magewell Pro Convert SDI Plus offers a direct encoding path. This compact NDI encoder accepts one channel of 3G/HD/SD-SDI signal — compliant with SMPTE ST 259, ST 292, and ST 425 — and encodes it into a full-bandwidth NDI stream at resolutions up to DCI 2K (2048×1080) at 60 fps in 4:2:2 8-bit colour.

    The SDI loop-through preserves the original signal chain, allowing an on-site monitor or recorder to stay connected without splitting or degradation. Up to 16 mono audio channels travel embedded alongside the video toward any NDI-compatible receiver on the local Gigabit Ethernet network. FPGA-based processing handles deinterlacing, up/down/cross-conversion, and frame rate adaptation on the fly — no external format converters needed between mismatched sources and the production network.

    PTZ camera operators benefit from built-in serial control via the Mini DIN-8 port, supporting VISCA, PELCO-P, and PELCO-D protocols routed through NDI. Tally data passes through as well, keeping on-air indicators synchronized during multi-camera shoots in studios, houses of worship, or corporate events. The unit draws roughly 7 W through PoE (IEEE 802.3af) or the USB 2.0 Type-B connector — a negligible load even in dense rack setups.

    Setup happens through a browser-based interface from any device on the same network. Auto-detection of the incoming SDI format and DHCP assignment reduce initial configuration to a minimum: one Ethernet cable can carry power, control, and the encoded NDI output at once. The Pro Convert SDI Plus works natively with OBS Studio, vMix, and Wirecast, and integrates with Q-SYS and Crestron control systems through dedicated plugins. From a newsroom MCR to a campus-wide AV distribution network, this encoder begins delivering NDI frames within seconds of connection.

    The Pro Convert SDI Plus converts one-channel of 3G-SDI input signal into Full NDI® with loop-through. This encoder supports inputs up to 2048x1080 60fps with 16 mono channels of embedded audio. Connect existing source equipment into NDI-enabled, IP-based media networks. All Magewell encoders are plug and play, which makes them very easy to use. input formats are automatically detected, and network configuration is done through DHCP.

    Pro Convert hardware encoders and decoders let you easily and reliably bring baseband video and audio signals into and out of IP production workflows and AV-over-IP networks.

    Making your transition to video-over-IP easier and more affordable, the low-latency Pro Convert devices let you connect your existing acquisition, production, presentation, and distribution equipment into flexible, IP based production and streaming workflows. PTZ Camera control is supported over NDI protocol.
