    Magewell USB Capture SDI Plus is a pocket-sized, single-channel grabber that injects native 3 G-SDI video into Windows, macOS or Linux workstations through a USB 3.0 UVC/UAC interface. An on-board FPGA drives 160 Mpx s-¹, capturing formats up to 2048 × 1080 p60—or 120 fps when bandwidth allows—and delivers uncompressed YUYV, UYVY or RGB streams with negligible host-CPU load.

    The BNC input accepts SD, HD, 3G-A, 3G-B and 2 K payloads at 4 : 4 : 4 10/12-bit or 4 : 2 : 2 8/10/12-bit depth. An active loop-through mirrors the feed to production monitors with zero latency, while integrated equalisation keeps 3 G-SDI stable over runs up to 150 m—ideal for OB trucks or arenas. Up to eight-channel embedded audio is preserved; separate 3.5 mm jacks handle stereo line-in and headphone/line-out. Max power draw stays below 2.5 W directly from USB—no external supply required.

    Magewell firmware provides real-time de-interlacing, scaling, frame-rate adaptation and colour-space transforms inside the dongle. The free USB Capture Utility exposes EDID, gain and update functions, while Capture Express offers one-click record or live ingest for OBS, vMix, Wirecast, Zoom and Teams.

    Encased in anodised aluminium measuring 11.1 × 5.7 × 1.7 cm and weighing 204 g, the device slips into cases, powered solely by the host port. Status LEDs confirm lock and bandwidth, and field-upgradeable logic safeguards future workflows. For studios that demand deterministic latency and uncompromising 10-bit precision, USB Capture SDI Plus is the sure bridge between professional SDI sources and software-centric production pipelines. Includes USB cable.
