“Magewell USB Capture HDMI 4K Pro is a high‑performance HDMI 2.0 capture device delivering smooth 4K60 ingest, ultra‑low‑latency monitoring, and reliable plug‑and‑play operation for professional creators, live streamers, and advanced production workflows
The Magewell USB Capture HDMI 4K Pro represents the high-water mark for Magewell’s external capture line. Released to address the bandwidth limitations of older USB 3.0 devices, the “Pro” model utilizes USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20Gbps) to enable native 4K capture at 60fps—a feat previously reserved for internal PCIe cards.
Key Features
High-Bandwidth Capture: Unlike the “Plus” model, which downscales or limits 4K to 30fps, the Pro model captures full 4K60 in 4:4:4 or 4:2:2 color space, providing cinema-grade fidelity.
Extreme Refresh Rates: For gaming and specialized ProAV, it can capture and loop through 1080p at 240fps or 1440p at 144fps.
Hardware Scaling & De-interlacing: Features an on-board FPGA to process video before it hits your computer, ensuring zero CPU overhead for the host machine.
Universal Driver-Free Design: Operates as a UVC/UAC device. It is truly plug-and-play on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
