The Magewell Pro Convert for NDI to AIO is a professional standalone NDI decoder that simultaneously outputs decoded IP streams to both HDMI and 3G-SDI at up to 1080p60 — making it the most flexible output decoder in the Pro Convert family for installations where both connection types are required at the same point. Whether you need to feed an HDMI display and a 3G-SDI router simultaneously from a single NDI stream, or distribute NDI content from a production network to baseband presentation equipment without a PC, the Pro Convert for NDI to AIO delivers low-latency, hardware-based decode with the PoE power, PTZ control and browser management that the Pro Convert family is trusted for. Available as a standalone device or as a Modator chassis module for high-density rack deployments, it is the authoritative choice for UK broadcast integrators and AV professionals bridging NDI and baseband infrastructure.
Core Functions & Capabilities
- Simultaneous HDMI & SDI Output: Decodes a single NDI or IP stream and outputs simultaneously to HDMI 1.4 and 3G-SDI BNC — both outputs active at the same time, each delivering up to 1920×1080 at 60fps. Feed an HDMI confidence monitor and a 3G-SDI router or recording device from one decoder without signal splitting or additional hardware.
- Broad Protocol Support — NDI, SRT & More: Decodes NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX, NDI HX2 and NDI HX3 streams alongside SRT, RTMP, RTSP, HTTP, HLS and MPEG-TS over UDP/RTP — accepting IP sources from production switchers, streaming encoders, media servers and internet contribution feeds across a single compact device.
- 3G-SDI Output with Closed Caption: SDI output supports SD, HD and 3G-SDI standards (ST 259, ST 292, ST 425) with 3G-SDI signal reach up to 130m (427ft) — and native CEA-608/608 over 708 Closed Caption output for broadcast compliance.
- 8-Channel Audio on Both Outputs: Delivers 48KHz 8-channel embedded audio on both HDMI and SDI outputs simultaneously — preserving the full multi-channel audio payload of NDI and SRT sources to both baseband destinations.
- FPGA Video Processing: Onboard hardware pipeline handles deinterlacing, up/down scaling, cross-conversion, aspect ratio adjustment, colour format conversion and image adjustments — entirely in hardware with deterministic low latency and zero CPU load on any connected host.
- NDI 6.3 Support: Updated to NDI SDK 6.3 — fully compatible with current NDI production infrastructure, Control Hub management and network discovery. Timecode-first synchronisation option reduces stuttering on sources with imprecise timestamps.
- Two On-Device Control Buttons: Dedicated buttons enable source selection and output format matching directly on the device without a computer — press one button to cycle through available NDI sources on the network, and a second to set the output resolution and frame rate to match the connected display.
- Automatic Network Configuration: DHCP-based automatic network setup on connection — the device is discoverable on the network immediately, with no manual IP configuration required for standard deployments.
Key Features
- PoE Powered — Single Cable Install: IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet delivers both network connectivity and power in a single cable — eliminating the need for mains power at HDMI display or SDI router locations. USB 5V/2.1A also supported as an alternative.
- PTZ Camera Control: Controls PTZ cameras over the network via VISCA, Visca UDP, Visca UDP2RS232, PELCO-P and PELCO-D through the shared Mini-DIN 8 port — enabling NDI-based PTZ control alongside decode output from a single PoE device.
- Programme & Preview Tally: Dedicated tally LEDs for programme (red) and preview (green) status — with tally signals via Mini-DIN 8 for connection to on-camera tally lights. Tally light accessory included in the box.
- Browser-Based Web GUI: Full configuration, source selection, output format management and signal monitoring via any modern browser without software installation. Compatible with IE, Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera.
- Control Hub Compatible: Registers with Magewell Control Hub for centralised management of multiple Pro Convert devices — configure, monitor and update firmware across an entire facility from a single browser interface.
- Crestron & Q-SYS Plugins: Official Crestron SIMPL+ and Q-SYS plugins available — enabling full integration into enterprise AV control systems for professional AV-over-IP installation projects.
- Modator Chassis Module Available: An identical module version is available for the Magewell Modator 2U chassis — enabling high-density multi-channel NDI decode with simultaneous HDMI and SDI output in a 2U rack footprint for broadcast facilities, control rooms and AV equipment rooms.
- Camera Mountable: ¼–20 threaded mounting hole enables direct mounting on camera cages, brackets and accessory mounts — suitable for field and on-camera applications requiring simultaneous HDMI and SDI output from a decoded NDI stream.
Ideal For
- Broadcast Studios — NDI to SDI Router: Decode NDI programme feeds and route them to both the HDMI confidence monitor and the 3G-SDI broadcast router simultaneously — bridging IP production infrastructure with legacy SDI master control routing without a separate format converter.
- Houses of Worship — NDI to Stage Screens & SDI: Output decoded NDI camera feeds to both the HDMI stage confidence monitor and a 3G-SDI video distribution amplifier or projector input — covering all display types in the venue from a single PoE device.
- Live Events & IMAG: Decode NDI from the production network to simultaneous HDMI projector and SDI stage router outputs at venue locations — PoE powered at each position with on-device buttons for rapid source switching during live events without a connected laptop.
- Corporate AV — IP to Baseband Bridge: Convert NDI sources from corporate production systems, video conferencing platforms and streaming infrastructure to HDMI meeting room displays and 3G-SDI video distribution simultaneously — without replacing existing HDMI or SDI display infrastructure.
- Education & Lecture Distribution: Route decoded NDI lecture feeds to both HDMI room projectors and 3G-SDI distribution systems across campus — each decoder independently configured via web GUI and powered by a single Ethernet connection at each room.
- Digital Signage & Video Walls: Decode NDI or SRT content streams from network media servers to HDMI signage displays and 3G-SDI video wall controllers simultaneously — hardware decode without PC-based players at each display point, with automatic DHCP configuration on connection.
