Magewell Pro Convert for NDI to HDMI Modator NDI decoder module for rack chassis

Magewell Pro Convert for NDI to HDMI Module

The Magewell Pro Convert for NDI to HDMI Module decodes a live NDI stream to HDMI with very low latency. It decodes NDI High Bandwidth and NDI HX, HX2 and HX3 sources up to 2Kp60, as well as H.264/H.265 streams over RTSP, HTTP, HLS, RTMP (pull/push), MPEG-TS over UDP/SRT/RTP and TVU, and outputs them on HDMI 2.0 in the format preferred by the connected display (read from its EDID), with integrated up-conversion up to 4096x2160 60 fps and 8-channel 48 kHz audio.

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 shows the decoded signal in real time and lets you set OSD, deinterlacing, resolution, audio gain, sample rate, channel mapping and network connection.

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 for NDI to HDMI).
