Magewell USB Capture SDI 4K Plus

The card offers a variety of processing and other features, including resolution scaling and deinterlacing. It's capable of operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week while displaying the status of the input via an LED indicator (idle, input signal locked, memory failed, or FPGA configuration).

Note:

Please use the included Magewell USB 3.0 cable, which is a custom accessory. Using any other similar cable might cause capture problems and even damage the capture device.
