The Magewell Pro Convert 12G SDI 4K Plus is a standalone NDI and IP video receiver that converts incoming NDI streams into a 12G-SDI output at 4K resolution. At £771, it is designed for broadcast and production facilities that operate 4K SDI infrastructure and need to integrate NDI or IP video workflows with it, feeding NDI sources directly into 4K SDI routers, monitors, switchers, and downstream broadcast equipment without any host PC or additional software layer.
The SDI family covers a range of bandwidths. Standard HD-SDI carries 1.5Gbps. 3G-SDI reaches 3Gbps for 1080p at high frame rates. 12G-SDI carries up to 12Gbps over a single BNC cable, enabling 4K60 video in the same familiar SDI infrastructure. It is the 4K extension of the SDI standard and is increasingly present in premium broadcast facilities, 4K sports production, and high-end outside broadcast. If your SDI infrastructure includes 12G-SDI routing, monitoring, or switching equipment and you need to feed it from an NDI production network, this is the converter that bridges those two worlds.
The Pro Convert 12G SDI 4K Plus connects to your Ethernet network as a standalone appliance, receives NDI video from any NDI source on the network, and outputs a 12G-SDI signal at 4K. Configuration is managed through a web browser management interface with no host PC required. It supports the full NDI ecosystem: streams from vMix, Wirecast, NewTek TriCaster, other Magewell Pro Convert TX devices, and any other NDI-capable production tool or hardware.
The Pro Convert SDI receiver range covers HD and 4K at different price points. The compact Pro Convert for NDI to SDI at £332 outputs HD-SDI in a smaller form factor, suited to HD broadcast environments where compact size and cost efficiency matter. The SDI Plus at £434 outputs HD-SDI in the Plus form factor with enhanced management capabilities. The SDI 4K Plus at £742 and this device, the 12G SDI 4K Plus at £771, both output 12G-SDI at 4K for 4K broadcast infrastructure. For precise differentiation between the two 4K variants, contact StreamKit technical support who can confirm the right specification for your infrastructure and NDI source environment.
