The Magewell Pro Convert IP to AIO 4K is the second product in Magewell’s new generation of multi-format IP decoders, unveiled at NAB 2026. Building directly on the Pro Convert IP to HDMI launched at ISE 2026, it adds full 4K decoding at 60fps and the defining capability that sets it apart from all previous Pro Convert decoders: simultaneous HDMI 2.0 and 12G-SDI outputs. For broadcast and professional AV installations where both IP and legacy SDI infrastructure must coexist, this single compact device bridges them both — outputting the same decoded 4K signal to an HDMI display and a 12G-SDI router simultaneously, with HDR10 and HLG support throughout.
Core Functions & Capabilities
- Simultaneous HDMI 2.0 & 12G-SDI Output: Decodes IP streams to both HDMI 2.0 and 12G-SDI outputs at the same time — feeding an HDMI confidence monitor and a legacy SDI router, production switcher or recorded from a single device, eliminating the need for a separate IP-to-SDI converter.
- 4K60 Decode — Single View: Decodes a single IP stream at up to 4096×2160 (DCI 4K) at 60fps across NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX/HX2/HX3, SRT, RTMP, RTSP, HLS, MPEG-TS, Zixi and RIST protocols — the widest protocol coverage in the Pro Convert family.
- Integrated Multiviewer — Up to 4 Streams: Displays up to four simultaneous IP streams on a single output in Picture-in-Picture (2 channels) or Quad View (4 channels) layout — replacing a separate hardware multiviewer for HD confidence monitoring applications.
- HDR10 & HLG Support: Decodes and outputs HDR signals in both PQ (HDR10) and HLG formats via HDMI 2.0 — with HDR metadata transmitted through ANC on the SDI output — maintaining the full dynamic range of HDR source material through the entire decode chain.
- RIST Protocol Support: Adds RIST (Reliable Internet Stream Transport) alongside Zixi for robust, error-corrected delivery of live video over unmanaged networks — enabling reliable 4K decode from public internet contribution feeds without proprietary CDN infrastructure.
- Comprehensive Audio Decode: Decodes AAC, MP3, AC3, Opus and G.711 audio formats with 8-channel 48/96kHz output on HDMI and 8-channel 48kHz on SDI — covering the full range of audio codecs found in NDI, streaming and broadcast IP workflows.
- Rotary Encoder Control: Onboard rotary encoder button navigates menus and adjusts settings without a connected computer — essential for on-site configuration at display or router locations during installation.
- PoE+ Powered: Powered via IEEE 802.3at PoE+ from a standard PoE+ switch — no mains power adapter required at the device location. Also accepts 12V/20W via USB-C for installations without PoE+ infrastructure.
Key Features
- NDI 6.3 Support: Fully compatible with NDI 6.3 — making the device discoverable within NDI Tools for monitoring, status checking and management alongside other NDI 6.3 devices on the network.
- Zixi ZEN Master Integration: Registers with both Magewell Control Hub and Zixi ZEN Master for centralised multi-device management — enabling operators running managed Zixi contribution networks to control decode endpoints from the same platform as their encoders.
- USB Keyboard & Mouse Support: USB 3.0 Type-A port accepts a standard keyboard and mouse for direct on-device settings configuration — useful for rack-mounted deployments where web GUI access is not immediately available.
- Real-Time Signal Preview: Web GUI provides live output image preview and real-time signal status monitoring directly in the browser — enabling remote verification of signal quality and format without visiting the device location.
- PTZ Camera Control: Supports PTZ camera control via the web GUI — enabling operators to remotely pan, tilt and zoom PTZ sources feeding into the decoder without a separate control system.
- Crestron & Q-SYS Plugins: Official Crestron SIMPL+ plugin and Q-SYS plugin available — enabling full integration into enterprise control systems and building automation environments.
- Modator Chassis Compatible: Available as a Modator module for high-density rack installations — the Modator 2U chassis accepts up to 10 hot-swappable modules, providing scalable multi-channel 4K decode in a 2U rack footprint.
- Closed Caption Support: Outputs Closed Captions compliant with CEA-608 and CEA-708 standards on the SDI output — maintaining caption data through the decode chain for broadcast compliance.
Ideal For
- Broadcast Master Control — SDI & IP Hybrid: Decode 4K NDI or SRT programme feeds to simultaneous HDMI confidence monitor and 12G-SDI router output — bridging IP production infrastructure with legacy SDI master control routing without additional conversion hardware.
- 4K Production Monitoring: Single-device quad-view monitoring of four simultaneous HD IP sources on one display — eliminating a separate multiviewer appliance for up to four NDI, SRT or MPEG-TS feeds in a broadcast or live production environment.
- Remote Contribution Receive — Zixi / RIST / SRT: Decode managed contribution feeds arriving over the public internet via Zixi, RIST or SRT directly to SDI output for studio router ingestion — without a dedicated software decoder PC at the receive end.
- Sports & Live Events — Replay & Distribution: Distribute 4K NDI replay server output to both HDMI production monitors and 12G-SDI stadium display infrastructure simultaneously — with a single low-power PoE+ device per distribution point.
- Medical Imaging & Surgical Display: Decode telemedicine or surgical camera IP streams to simultaneous HDMI display and SDI recording or distribution outputs — maintaining full 4K quality and HDR throughout the clinical workflow.
- Corporate AV & Digital Signage: Drive HDMI meeting room displays and SDI video wall controllers from a single IP source over the building network — with PoE+ powering at each display point without a separate power run.
