Product Description
The Magewell Pro Convert for NDI to SDI is a compact NDI decoder that converts a live NDI or IP video stream into a standard 3G-SDI 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 1920x1080 60fps over SD/HD/3G-SDI with 8-channel 48KHz audio, and the SDI signal can be transmitted over 100m of cable. The device can be powered over its network connection via PoE, or via the included USB power adapter, giving installers flexibility in how it's wired into a rack or AV setup. A 1/4-20 threaded mounting hole on the base accepts standard tripod and camera mounting hardware.
Configuration is handled through an intuitive Web GUI, Magewell's Control Hub, on-board MENU/SELECT buttons, or a 16-position rotary DIP switch for setting a board index across multi-unit installs. HTTP-based APIs, Crestron Plugins, and Q-SYS Control Plugins are available for custom integration into existing control systems.
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 a standard 3G-SDI signal, so you can feed an NDI source (a camera, a switcher output, a media player, or streaming software) straight into SDI-based displays, switchers, or recording 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: 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: Can I run more than one of these on the same network?
A: Yes. Each unit has a 16-position rotary DIP switch to set a board index, and the on-board MENU/SELECT buttons or the Web GUI let you pick which NDI source it decodes, so multiple units can be configured and told apart easily in larger installs.
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.
