Magewell USB Capture SDI 4K Plus is a professional 4K SDI capture device delivering ultra‑low‑latency ingest, broadcast‑grade signal stability, and seamless plug‑and‑play operation for high‑resolution production, live streaming, and post‑workflow environments.
The Magewell USB Capture SDI 4K Pro is a high-performance, driver-free external video capture device. It is specifically designed to handle 12G-SDI signals, allowing for native 4K capture at 60fps over a high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20Gbps) interface.
Key Features
Extreme Bandwidth — Utilizes 20Gbps throughput to capture uncompressed 4K60 video, a major jump from 5Gbps “Plus” models limited to 4K30.
High Frame Rate Support — Captures up to 240fps at lower resolutions (such as 1080p), ideal for motion analysis or high‑end gaming workflows.
FPGA Processing — Internal hardware handles de‑interlacing, scaling, and color‑space conversion with zero CPU load on the host system.
Plug‑and‑Play (UVC/UAC) — Works instantly on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS with no drivers required.
Professional Build — Rugged metal housing engineered for heat dissipation and reliable 24/7 continuous operation.
| Organisation Type | Application |
|---|---|
| Broadcasters | Mobile production kits that need to ingest a 12G-SDI 4K60 signal from a cinema camera into a laptop for high-quality live streaming. |
| Medical | Capturing high-fidelity 4K60 surgical feeds from endoscopic or robotic systems with absolute fluid motion and color accuracy. |
| Live Events/eSports | Monitoring and capturing 4K60 feeds from a high-end switcher while using the 12G-SDI loop-through for a local IMAG screen. |
| Corporate/ProAV | Networking 4K60 SDI boardroom cameras into high-end video conferencing software like Zoom or Teams via a single USB-C cable. |
