The Magewell Pro Convert for NDI to HDMI 4K is the flagship HDMI decoder in the Pro Convert family — and the definitive choice for any installation where a 4K NDI or IP stream needs to be decoded to a 4K HDMI display at the highest possible output quality. Decoding NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX, SRT and multi-format IP streams at up to 4096×2160 60fps and outputting them via HDMI 2.0 at up to 4K60 4:4:4 8-bit, it delivers the full resolution and colour fidelity of 4K NDI sources directly to any 4K-capable HDMI display, projector or video wall controller — without a PC, software decoder or additional format conversion hardware. Whether the requirement is 4K confidence monitoring in a broadcast master control room, 4K display output in a corporate flagship venue, or 4K NDI-to-HDMI conversion in a medical imaging environment, the Pro Convert for NDI to HDMI 4K provides hardware-reliable, PoE-powered, browser-managed decode in the same compact Pro Convert form factor trusted by broadcast and AV professionals worldwide. Supplied by iView Data, authorised UK Magewell distributor, with full UK warranty and same-day dispatch from UK stock.
Core Functions & Capabilities
- 4K NDI Decode to HDMI 2.0 — 4Kp60 4:4:4: Decodes NDI High Bandwidth streams at up to 4096×2160 60fps and outputs via HDMI 2.0 at up to 4096×2160 60fps 4:4:4 8-bit — the highest output resolution and colour fidelity of any standalone HDMI decoder in the Pro Convert family, delivering the full quality of 4K NDI sources to any connected 4K display.
- Broad Protocol Support — NDI, SRT & More: Decodes NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX, NDI HX2 and NDI HX3 alongside SRT, RTMP, RTSP, HTTP, HLS and MPEG-TS over UDP/RTP — accepting 4K IP sources from production switchers, encoders, media servers, internet contribution feeds and cloud platforms in addition to NDI production networks.
- HDMI 2.0 & HDMI 1.4 Output — Auto EDID: HDMI 2.0 output for full 4K60 delivery, with HDMI 1.4 compatibility for connected displays — EDID automatically read from the connected monitor to select the optimal output format without manual configuration in most installations.
- Exceptionally Wide Output Format Range: Supports output resolutions from 720×480i up to 4096×2160p60, including 2560×1440p at up to 144fps and 1920×1080p at up to 120fps — making it versatile across 4K broadcast, gaming, high-refresh-rate monitoring and legacy display environments.
- 8-Channel Audio at 96kHz 16-bit: Delivers 8 channels of 96kHz 16-bit audio embedded in the HDMI output — exceeding the standard 48kHz audio output of other Pro Convert decoders, making it the right choice for high-fidelity audio-visual monitoring applications.
- Alpha Channel & OSD Support: Configurable alpha channel blending and on-screen display overlay — enabling graphics-over-video workflows and monitoring overlays directly from the decoder without additional hardware.
- FPGA 4K Video Processing: Onboard FPGA handles deinterlacing, up/down scaling, aspect ratio conversion, colour format conversion, frame rate conversion and audio gain/sample rate/channel mapping — entirely in hardware with consistent deterministic low latency at full 4K60.
- NDI 6.2 Support: Updated to NDI SDK 6.2 — fully compatible with current 4K NDI production infrastructure, Control Hub management and network discovery for high-bandwidth 4K NDI streams.
Key Features
- PoE Powered — 4K Output from a Single Cable: IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet powers the full 4K60 decode and HDMI output from a single Ethernet cable — no mains power adapter required at the 4K display or monitor location. 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 full remote 4K PTZ camera operation alongside 4K HDMI decode output from a single PoE device.
- Programme & Preview Tally: Dedicated programme (red) and preview (green) tally LEDs on the device, with tally signals via Mini-DIN 8 for on-camera tally lights — tally light accessory included for immediate deployment.
- Browser-Based Web GUI: Full configuration including output format selection, OSD, alpha blending, audio gain, sample rate, channel mapping and network settings via any modern browser — no software required. Compatible with IE, Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera.
- Control Hub Compatible: Registers with Magewell Control Hub for centralised management, firmware updates and real-time monitoring across multiple Pro Convert devices — essential for broadcast facilities and AV installations with multiple 4K HDMI decode points.
- Crestron & Q-SYS Plugins: Official Crestron SIMPL+ and Q-SYS plugins available — enabling full integration into enterprise AV control systems for professional 4K broadcast and installation projects.
- Modator Chassis Module Available: An identical module version is available for the Magewell Modator 2U chassis — enabling high-density multi-channel 4K NDI-to-HDMI decode in a 2U rack footprint for broadcast equipment rooms, AV server racks and control rooms.
- Compact Form Factor — Camera Mountable: 117.5 × 66.7 × 23.4mm with a ¼–20 threaded mounting hole — matches the Pro Convert Plus encoder form factor and mounts on camera cages, brackets and rack accessories. L bracket included.
Ideal For
- Broadcast Master Control — 4K NDI Confidence Monitoring: Decode 4K NDI programme feeds, replay outputs and contribution streams to 4K HDMI confidence monitors in master control — PoE powered at each monitor position without a mains run, and browser-configured from the engineering desk.
- 4K Corporate Flagship Venues — NDI to 4K Display: Drive 4K HDMI displays, projectors and video walls in flagship boardrooms, auditoriums and conference centres from NDI production systems and conferencing infrastructure — hardware decode without PC-based players at each 4K display point.
- 4K Live Events & IMAG: Decode 4K NDI camera feeds and production outputs to 4K HDMI projectors, LED walls and large-format displays at venues — PoE powered at each display point, with PTZ control enabling remote camera operation from the production area.
- Medical Imaging — 4K HDMI Display: Decode 4K NDI surgical camera feeds, telemedicine streams and diagnostic imaging outputs to 4K HDMI displays in operating theatres, consultation rooms and imaging suites — hardware reliability without software dependency in clinical environments.
- Education — 4K NDI to 4K Lecture Displays: Distribute 4K NDI lecture streams to 4K HDMI projectors and displays across a campus — each decoder independently configured via web GUI and powered by a single Ethernet connection at the display location.
- Sports Production — 4K Replay & Monitoring: Decode 4K NDI replay system outputs and production programme feeds to 4K HDMI monitors at scoring tables, commentary positions and production areas — without SDI cabling or SDI-to-HDMI conversion at each position.
