What is the Magewell Pro Capture HDMI capture card?
The Magewell Pro Capture HDMI is a low-profile PCIe x1 capture card that captures one channel of HDMI, S-Video, component or composite video with a stereo audio input. It is a compact way to bring a camera, presentation or legacy source into a Windows, Linux or Mac workstation for recording and streaming.
How does the Magewell Pro Capture HDMI work?
The card installs in a PCIe x1 slot and accepts HDMI, S-Video, YPbPr or CVBS, plus one unbalanced stereo audio input.
