Magewell Pro Convert 12G SDI 4K Plus Modator NDI encoder module for rack chassis

Magewell Pro Convert 12G SDI 4K Plus Module

The Magewell Pro Convert 12G SDI 4K Plus Module converts a single-link 12G-SDI input into a high-bandwidth NDI stream with very low latency, with an SDI loop-through output. It accepts SD, HD, 3G, 6G and 12G-SDI up to 4096x2160 at 60 fps with 16 channels of embedded audio, encodes NDI High Bandwidth up to 4096x2160 60 fps 4:2:2 8-bit with HDR HLG support, and can remotely control PTZ cameras via VISCA over UDP through NDI.

Like all Modator modules it is hot-swappable and centrally manageable through the Modator chassis touchscreen and Web UI or through Magewell Control Hub, while its own Web UI gives real-time information on device and signal and lets you set deinterlacing, EDID, scaling, frame rate, aspect ratio and network connection.

Key features

• Single-link 12G-SDI input and loop-through up to 4096x2160 60 fps
• SD (ST 259), HD (ST 292), 3G (ST 425), 6G (ST 2081) and 12G (ST 2082) SDI
• NDI High Bandwidth encoding up to 4096x2160p60 4:2:2 8-bit; HDR HLG
• Output at input resolution or any custom resolution; output frame rate equal to the input or 1/2, 1/3, 1/4
• 16-channel SDI embedded audio into NDI
• PTZ camera control via VISCA over UDP through NDI
• NDI 6.2
• Sends NDI streams across network segments
• Very low latency
• Web UI: deinterlacing, EDID, up/down scaling, frame rate, aspect ratio and network settings; firmware update
• Configuration from the Modator touchscreen, Web UI or Magewell Control Hub; HTTP APIs

Compatibility

• Magewell Modator 2U chassis (required)
• Magewell Control Hub for remote centralized management
• PTZ cameras controllable via VISCA over UDP through NDI

Notes

• Modator module: it is installed in a slot of the Magewell Modator 2U rack chassis (sold separately), which supplies power (up to 20 W per slot) and centralized cooling. The interface list of the module includes no separate power input.
• Each module must be connected with its own Ethernet cable and its own signal cables; the Ethernet port of the chassis is only used to configure the chassis.
• Hot-swappable: modules can be inserted or removed while the chassis is running. Up to 10 modules of any type can be mixed in one Modator 2U.
• Magewell also offers the standalone version of the same specification (Pro Convert 12G SDI 4K Plus).
