{"product_id":"magewell-usb-capture-sdi-4k-pro","title":"Magewell USB Capture SDI 4K Pro","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e12G-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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith ~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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12G-SDI input up to 4096x2160 @ 60fps 4:2:2 10-bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, 6G-SDI, and 12G-SDI standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSDI BNC loop-through — passes signal to downstream broadcast equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4K60 capture output via USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e~700 Mpixels\/s FPGA processing — up to 10-bit colour depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 8-channel 24-bit SDI-embedded audio at 192kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5mm line input for analog audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriver-free plug-and-play on Mac, Windows, Linux and Chrome OS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended operating temperature to 60°C — suitable for rack environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-year warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagewell USB Capture SDI 4K Pro x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB 3.2 Type-C cable x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Q\u0026amp;A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the difference between the SDI Plus and the SDI 4K Pro?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e The SDI Plus handles up to 3G-SDI (2048x1080 max) and uses USB 3.0.
