It accepts SD, HD and 3G-SDI up to 2048×1080 60p with 16 channels of embedded audio, and passes the signal on through a BNC loop-through. It is the practical way to move existing SDI cameras into NDI production and AV-over-IP systems in studios, houses of worship and meeting spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Magewell Pro Convert SDI Plus work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe encoder accepts SD, HD and 3G-SDI (Level A and B) up to 2K60, receiving 3G-SDI over cable runs up to 200 m, and passes the signal unchanged to the next device on the BNC loop-through so it can sit inline with a switcher, recorder or monitor. It encodes NDI High Bandwidth at up to 2048×1080 60p with all 16 channels of SDI audio carried into the stream, supports HDR HLG, and can output a native or custom resolution and a reduced frame rate when bandwidth matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAny NDI receiver on the network — production switchers, vMix, OBS, NDI Studio Monitor and decoders — can use the source. The Mini-DIN-8 port drives a tally light and controls PTZ cameras over NDI using VISCA, VISCA UDP, PELCO-P or PELCO-D, which suits remotely operated camera positions. The unit detects the input and takes a DHCP address automatically, is managed through its web interface, Magewell Control Hub or HTTP APIs, and runs on 802.3af PoE or its 5 V supply. Magewell publishes Q-SYS and Crestron plugins for the Pro Convert encoders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features of the Magewell Pro Convert SDI Plus?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3G-SDI to full NDI\u003c\/strong\u003e — Encodes SDI up to 2K60 as NDI High Bandwidth with very low latency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBNC loop-through\u003c\/strong\u003e — Passes the SDI signal on so the encoder fits inline in an existing chain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16-channel audio\u003c\/strong\u003e — Carries all 16 SDI-embedded audio channels into the NDI stream.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong cable runs\u003c\/strong\u003e — Receives 3G-SDI over cable runs up to 200 m.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTally and PTZ control\u003c\/strong\u003e — Drives tally lights and controls PTZ cameras over NDI.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoE powered\u003c\/strong\u003e — Runs from an 802.3af PoE switch port at the camera position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl-system integration\u003c\/strong\u003e — Q-SYS and Crestron plugins plus HTTP APIs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere is the Magewell Pro Convert SDI Plus typically used?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"table-layout:fixed;width:100%;min-width:300px\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:40%\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:60%\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVideo input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSD\/HD\/3G-SDI (ST 259, 292, 425); up to 2048×1080 60p\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLoop-through\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBNC, same as input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable reach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3G-SDI up to 200 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNDI encoding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNDI High Bandwidth up to 2048×1080 60p 4:2:2 8-bit; HDR HLG; NDI 6.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16-ch SDI embedded, carried in NDI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePTZ \/ tally\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVISCA, VISCA UDP, PELCO-P, PELCO-D via NDI; Mini-DIN-8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNetwork\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGigabit Ethernet with 802.3af PoE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManagement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeb UI, Magewell Control Hub, HTTP APIs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePoE or 5 V; about 7 W max\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e117.5 × 66.7 × 23.4 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 V adapter, USB cable, Mini-DIN-8 breakout, tally light, L-bracket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this full NDI or NDI HX?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFull-bandwidth NDI High Bandwidth for very low latency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it carry all SDI audio channels?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
