Product Description
The Magewell Pro Convert for NDI to HDMI is a compact NDI decoder that converts a live NDI or IP video stream into an HD HDMI signal, connecting your IP-based media network into baseband presentation or distribution equipment. It decodes NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX, NDI HX2, and NDI HX3 streams, along with RTSP, HTTP, HLS, RTMP, and MPEG-TS over UDP/SRT/RTP, so a single decoder can pull from a wide range of NDI and streaming sources.
Output runs up to 4096x2160 60fps over HDMI, with the decoder automatically up-converting HD sources to 4K for Ultra HD displays and reading the connected monitor's EDID to deliver the preferred format. 8-channel 96KHz audio is carried over the same HDMI connection. The device can be powered over its network connection via PoE, or via the included USB power adapter, and a 1/4-20 threaded mounting hole on the base accepts standard tripod and camera mounting hardware. Magewell also offers a 1RU rackmount accessory for this model.
Product Q&A
Q: What does this device actually do?
A: It receives a live NDI or IP video stream from your network and converts it into an HD HDMI signal, so you can feed an NDI source (a camera, a switcher output, a media player, or streaming software) straight into HDMI-based displays or distribution equipment that doesn't understand NDI natively.
Q: Does it need a separate power supply, or can it run on PoE?
A: Both are supported. You can power it with the included power adapter via the USB Type B port, or run a single Ethernet cable from a PoE (IEEE 802.3af) switch or injector for combined power and network in one connection.
Q: Can it output 4K even if my NDI source is only HD?
A: Yes. The decoder automatically up-converts decoded HD signals to 4K for Ultra HD displays, and it reads the EDID of the connected monitor to deliver the format that display prefers.
Q: What NDI sources and streaming protocols can it decode?
A: It decodes NDI 6.3, NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX, NDI HX2, and NDI HX3, along with RTSP, HTTP, HLS, RTMP Pull/Push, and MPEG-TS over UDP/SRT/RTP, so it works with most NDI-enabled software and hardware as well as many common streaming sources.
Q: How do I control or configure it if I don't want to use the Web GUI?
A: It can be configured through Magewell's Control Hub, the on-board MENU/SELECT buttons, HTTP-based APIs for custom integration, or native Crestron and Q-SYS Control Plugins for existing AV control systems.
