The Magewell Pro Convert SDI TX converts one HD 3G-SDI input signal into Full NDI®, enabling users to connect existing source equipment into NDI or IP media networks. This device supports one SDI video signal up to 2048x1080 60fps with 8bit NDI encoding up to 2048x1080 60fps.

The plug-and-play simplicity of the Magewell Pro Convert SDI 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 one 3G-SDI input signal into Full NDI®
- Supports signal 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.
