It accepts SD, HD and 3G-SDI up to 2048×1080 60p with 16 channels of embedded audio. As the transmit-only member of the Pro Convert family, it is the lowest-cost way to put an SDI source onto an NDI network when no SDI loop-through is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Magewell Pro Convert SDI TX work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe encoder accepts SD, HD and 3G-SDI (Level A and B) up to 2K60 over cable runs up to 180 m and encodes it as NDI High Bandwidth at up to 2048×1080 60p, carrying all 16 channels of SDI-embedded audio into the stream. It supports HDR HLG and can output a native or custom resolution or a reduced frame rate. Unlike the Pro Convert SDI Plus, it has no loop-through output, so it is the end point of the SDI run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAny NDI receiver can use the source directly, including NDI Studio Monitor, vMix, OBS, switchers and decoders. The encoder is managed through its web interface, Magewell Control Hub or HTTP APIs and is powered by its 5 V supply or PoE. Magewell publishes Q-SYS and Crestron plugins for the Pro Convert encoders, so a room control system can monitor it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features of the Magewell Pro Convert SDI TX?\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\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 180 m.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHDR HLG support\u003c\/strong\u003e — Passes HLG HDR content into the NDI stream.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact and cost-effective\u003c\/strong\u003e — Transmit-only design for sources that don't need loop-through.\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 TX 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\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; 10\/12-bit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLoop-through\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable reach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3G-SDI up to 180 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\u003eManagement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeb UI, Magewell Control Hub, HTTP APIs, USB RNDIS\/ECM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 V\/2.1 A supply or PoE\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\u003eWhat is the difference between the SDI TX and SDI Plus?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth encode 3G-SDI to full NDI.
