Magewell Pro Convert HDMI 4K Plus Modator NDI encoder module for rack chassis

Magewell Pro Convert HDMI 4K Plus Module

The Magewell Pro Convert HDMI 4K Plus Module converts a 4K HDMI input into a high-bandwidth NDI stream with very low latency, with an HDMI loop-through output for local monitoring. It accepts signals up to 4096x2160 at 60 fps 4:4:4, including high frame rate formats such as 1080p144, and encodes NDI High Bandwidth at up to 4096x2160 60 fps or 1920x1080 240 fps (4:2:2 8-bit), at the input resolution or at any custom resolution, with 8 channels of embedded 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 gives real-time information on device and signal and lets you set deinterlacing, EDID, scaling, frame rate, aspect ratio and network connection.

Key features

• HDMI 2.0 input and loop-through up to 4096x2160 60 fps 4:4:4 8-bit
• NDI High Bandwidth encoding up to 4096x2160p60 or 1920x1080p240 (4:2:2 8-bit)
• Output at input resolution or any custom resolution; output frame rate equal to the input or 1/2, 1/3, 1/4
• Custom EDID; RGB and YUV BT.601/709/2020
• 8-channel HDMI embedded audio into 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
• Crestron plugins (SIMPL+ modules) for Pro Convert encoders available from Magewell

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 HDMI 4K Plus).
