Magewell USB Capture SDI 4K Pro

The Magewell USB Capture SDI 4K Pro is the highest-specification SDI capture device in the USB Capture family. It handles 12G-SDI signals — the broadcast standard for 4K SDI — and captures them at full 4K60 resolution via USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps). If you're working in a professional broadcast or live production environment with 4K SDI infrastructure, this is the device that bridges it to your editing or streaming workflow without compromise.

12G-SDI carries a single 4K signal over a single BNC cable at up to 12Gbps — the same connector and cable infrastructure you already have, just at four times the bandwidth of 3G-SDI. The SDI 4K Pro handles the full range from SD-SDI through to 12G-SDI, so it works across your entire fleet of SDI equipment regardless of vintage. The BNC loop-through keeps the signal flowing to downstream broadcast monitors and recorders simultaneously.

With ~700 Mpixels/s FPGA processing and up to 10-bit colour capture, the SDI 4K Pro is purpose-built for broadcast quality at the highest resolutions. Same plug-and-play driver-free operation. Same broad software compatibility. Same operating temperature range extended to 60°C for rack and production environments.
