Magewell Pro Convert HDMI TX

With the Magewell Pro Convert HDMI TX 1-Channel NDI Encoder you can convert an HDMI signal with embedded audio to an NDI stream. It supports resolutions up to 2048 x 1200 in 60p on both input and NDI output. The device can be powered via an included power adapter or via PoE via the NDI port. It features a 1/4"-20 thread for camera mounting and can be used in both the studio and field thanks to its compact and robust design. There is also a PTZ+tally shared mini-DIN port for connecting tally lights or setting up NDI-based PTZ camera control. An accessory for tally is included.

The device name, source name and other settings can be assigned via an associated Web UI. The encoder also has a built-in SD card slot, but this is not yet functional at the time of this writing. Future firmware updates can also be accessed via the Web UI.

The Pro Convert HDMI TX Encoder also has an adaptive HDMI equalizer that enables HDMI cable lengths of up to 32 meters.
