Magewell Pro Convert SDI Tx - SDI to NDI converter
The Magewell 1-channel NDI Pro Convert SDI TX encoder allows you to convert an SDI signal with embedded audio into an NDI stream. It supports resolutions up to 2048x1080 at 60p on both the input and NDI output. It is powered through the included power adapter or by PoE using the NDI port. It has 1/4"-20 thread for camera mounting and can be used in the studio or outdoors thanks to a compact and robust design. It has a PTZ+tally shared mini-DIN port for connecting Tally lights or controlling PTZ cameras from NDI. A Tally light accessory is included.
A web interface allows assigning device name, source name and other settings. The encoder also has an integrated SD card slot, but this will be active in future releases. Future firmware updates will also be accessible via the web interface.
