The complete UK decision guide. Answer three simple questions and find the exact Magewell product family for your workflow — from a £189 USB dongle to a full multi-site NDI infrastructure.
Magewell makes over 60 products across 10 product families. If you are looking at the catalogue for the first time it can feel overwhelming. The good news is that three questions narrow it down to the right product family in under two minutes. Work through them in order.
This is the most important question. It cleanly divides the Magewell range into two halves.
Your input signal type — HDMI, SDI, NDI or multiple inputs — determines which specific product models you need.
Every Magewell product supports at least 1080p HD. Add a 4K or Plus suffix to get 4K UHD.
These devices connect a video source to a computer so software can use it. Choose based on your connection type — USB, PCIe slot or M.2 slot.
The simplest option. Plug into any USB 3.0 port — no PCIe slot needed. Driver-free on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS. Compatible with OBS, Zoom, Teams, vMix, Wirecast, Adobe Premiere Pro and every UVC application.
Installs directly into a PCIe slot. Higher bandwidth, lower latency, greater reliability than USB. The broadcast and production standard for demanding applications. 24/7 rated.
The same professional quality as Pro Capture in a compact M.2 form factor. For small-form-factor PCs, OB vehicles, embedded systems and any computer where PCIe slots are unavailable.
These devices operate independently without a host computer. Connect your camera or source directly to the device — it handles encoding, streaming, recording or IP conversion on its own hardware.
The simplest standalone streaming solution. Connect your camera, configure once via the app, and stream live with a single button press. No technical knowledge required after setup. Ideal for churches, events, education and corporate comms.
For broadcast contribution, lecture capture, corporate streaming and any application requiring simultaneous multi-protocol output. No PC required. Supports H.264, H.265, NDI HX3, SRT, RTMP, HLS, RIST and more — simultaneously.
For productions that need switching, graphics, streaming and recording from a single compact device — no switcher software, no streaming software, no PC. One box does everything.
Encoders convert your HDMI or SDI sources into NDI or IP streams for network distribution. Decoders take NDI or IP streams from the network and output HDMI or SDI for displays and legacy equipment. PoE powered — one cable per device.
Find your use case and go directly to the right product.
