The Magewell Pro Convert for NDI to HDMI 4K is the flagship HDMI decoder in the Pro Convert family. It is 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.
It decodes NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX, SRT and multi-format IP streams at up to 4096×2160 60fps and outputs them via HDMI 2.0 at up to 4K60 4:4:4 8-bit. As a result, it delivers the full resolution and colour fidelity of 4K NDI sources directly to any 4K-capable HDMI display, projector or video wall controller. You do not need a PC, software decoder or additional format conversion hardware.
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. This is 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.

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.
