Description
Magewell Pro Convert SDI Plus to NDI
The Magewell Pro Convert SDI Plus to NDI is a high-quality 3G-SDI to NDI® encoder designed to bring professional SDI video sources into IP-based production environments. It converts SDI feeds up to 1080p60 into low-latency NDI or NDI|HX streams, enabling seamless integration with NDI workflows used in broadcast, live streaming, education, corporate AV, and house of worship installations.
With a dedicated 3G-SDI input and SDI loop-through output, this compact encoder allows real-time monitoring without additional hardware. The device supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) via its Gigabit Ethernet port, making deployment extremely simple with a single cable for power and network connectivity. Its fanless metal design ensures silent, 24/7 operation in professional environments.
The Pro Convert SDI Plus to NDI offers flexible NDI formats including full-bandwidth NDI and NDI|HX, allowing users to choose between maximum image quality or reduced bandwidth usage. A built-in web interface provides configuration, preview, tally light control, scaling, cropping, and color adjustments, making it easy to tailor the encoder to any workflow.
