Magewell Pro Convert HDMI TX

HDMI to NDI Transmitter: Bring Any HDMI Source into Your NDI Production Network

The Magewell Pro Convert HDMI TX is a standalone NDI transmitter that takes any HDMI video source and encodes it as an NDI stream for distribution over your Ethernet network. At £332, it is the tool for bridging the gap between HDMI devices, including cameras, laptops, media players, and presentation systems, and NDI-based production infrastructure. Once in place, any HDMI source becomes an NDI source available to every NDI-compatible tool on your network without any additional software or capture card.

TX Means Transmitter: This Is a Source Device

This is a critical distinction in the Pro Convert range. TX devices are transmitters: they take a physical input signal and encode it as NDI, making it available over the network. Receiver devices do the opposite, taking NDI from the network and outputting a physical signal. The Pro Convert HDMI TX is deployed at the source end of your workflow to bring HDMI devices into NDI. Receiver devices such as the HDMI Plus, HDMI 4K Plus, and the compact NDI to HDMI converters sit at the destination end to convert NDI back to a physical output for displays or downstream equipment.

What It Does

The HDMI TX connects to your HDMI source via the HDMI input and to your network via Gigabit Ethernet. It encodes the video as an NDI stream in real time and makes that stream available to any NDI-compatible device or software on the same network. Configuration is managed through a web interface. The device is fully standalone. Any NDI-capable system automatically discovers the stream, making integration with production software immediate and seamless.

Who Needs This

• Productions using vMix, Wirecast, NewTek TriCaster, or OBS with the NDI plugin who need to bring HDMI cameras, laptops, or presentation sources into the NDI production environment
• Corporate AV teams building NDI-based video distribution who need to add HDMI sources such as presentation laptops or consumer cameras to the NDI network
• Broadcast facilities adding non-SDI HDMI sources to NDI workflows without introducing capture cards in every production computer
• Live event production where HDMI sources at various points in a venue need to be brought into a centralised NDI production environment over the network
• Education and conference facilities using NDI for room-to-room video distribution, adding HDMI-connected presentation sources

Key Technical Capabilities

• HDMI video input
• NDI output over Gigabit Ethernet
• Compatible with vMix, Wirecast, OBS NDI Plugin, NewTek TriCaster, and all NDI-capable systems
• Standalone appliance with web-based management interface
• No host PC required

HDMI TX vs SDI TX: The Only Difference Is the Connector

Both the HDMI TX and SDI TX are priced at £332 and perform identically on the network, producing an NDI stream from a physical input. The only difference is the input connector type. HDMI TX is for HDMI sources. SDI TX is for broadcast SDI sources. In mixed installations, both can be deployed simultaneously, and all resulting NDI streams appear on the same network together, available to the same production software.
