What is the Magewell Pro Capture Quad SDI capture card?
The Magewell Pro Capture Quad SDI is a full-height PCIe x4 capture card that captures four independent channels of SD, HD, 3G or 2K SDI. It brings four cameras into one Windows, Linux or Mac workstation for multi-camera production, recording and streaming.
How does the Magewell Pro Capture Quad SDI work?
The card installs in a PCIe x4 slot and accepts four SDI inputs with embedded audio. Magewell's universal Pro Capture driver presents each channel as a separate capture device, so production software such as vMix or OBS can use all four together, and the MWCapture SDK supports custom applications.
