Magewell Modator — The Modular IP Conversion Platform
The Magewell Modator Chassis 2U is the foundation of Magewell's modular conversion platform. This 2U rack unit accepts up to 10 Modator blade modules — mix and match Pro Convert encoder and decoder blades to build a custom high-density IP conversion system in a single rack unit.
Engineered for 24/7 Broadcast Operations
The chassis features dual redundant power supplies (hot-swappable), optimised airflow for continuous operation, and a touchscreen front panel for local status monitoring and configuration. Centralised management via Magewell Control Hub or the web UI covers all installed modules.
Flexible and Scalable
Start with the modules you need today — add more as your workflow grows. The chassis handles power distribution, network connectivity, and management for all installed blades through a single chassis backplane.
KEY FEATURES
- 10 module slots — mix encoder and decoder blades to suit your workflow
- Dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies
- Touchscreen front panel for local status and control
- Centrally managed via Magewell Control Hub
- Single Ethernet connection manages all installed modules
- Optimised thermal design for 24/7 continuous operation
- 2U rackmount — standard 19-inch rack installation
IDEAL FOR
Broadcast facility
Centralise IP encode/decode conversion in one 2U unit — replace multiple standalone converters with a managed modular system.
Live production
High-density encoder and decoder capacity for live event and sports production within a compact rack footprint.
AV-over-IP infrastructure
Build a scalable IP conversion node that can grow as the network expands — add modules without replacing the chassis.
Post and playout
Manage encoder and decoder resources for simultaneous ingest and distribution in a playout or post-production facility.
