4K SDI Capture via USB
The Magewell USB Capture SDI 4K Plus bridges the gap between 4K broadcast infrastructure and computer-based production. It captures 6G-SDI signals at up to 4K 30fps with full embedded audio, and is fully backward compatible with 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI sources.
Why Choose the SDI 4K Plus?
As broadcasters and production houses upgrade to 4K cameras, you need a capture device that can keep up. This dongle ingests 6G-SDI signals carrying 4K content and delivers them to your computer as a standard webcam feed, no drivers, no complex setup.
The SDI loop-through lets you pass the signal to a downstream monitor or recorder while capturing. The 3.5mm audio input lets you embed external audio from a mixing desk. Built-in cable equalisation supports 6G-SDI runs up to 75 metres, with longer distances at lower data rates.
Future-Proof Your Kit
Because it's backward compatible with every SDI standard from SD through to 6G, this one device works with your entire camera inventory, both current 4K models and older HD gear. StreamKit provides a 3-year warranty and free UK delivery on every unit.
