Magewell Pro Capture SDI 4K Pro
The Magewell USB Capture SDI 4K Pro connects to your computer via a USB-C 3.2 interface, enabling high-quality video capture at up to DCI 4K resolution at 60 fps, depending on your system’s capabilities. Designed for professional workflows, it features a 12G-SDI input for capturing video from broadcast cameras, switchers, and other SDI-equipped sources. The device supports embedded SDI audio and includes a 3.5mm input/output for capturing external audio or extracting audio from SDI signals. It is compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome OS platforms, and requires no drivers for installation.
Note: Use only the provided Magewell USB cable, as it’s specifically designed for this device. Using other cables may cause capture issues or even damage the device.

Key Features
- 12G‑SDI input & loop‑through (4096 × 2160 @ 60 fps) — Supports up to 12G‑SDI for full DCI‑4K capture with zero-latency monitoring
- Ultra‑high frame‑rates — Accepts video formats up to 240 fps; default capture at 4K60, with higher frame‑rate capture available when bandwidth allows
- Rich video format support — Handles RGB/YUV 4:4:4 (8/10/12‑bit), YUV 4:2:2 12‑bit, YUV 4:2:0 (8/10/12‑bit) and outputs formats including P010, NV12, I420, YUY2, UYVY, RGB24/32
- Up to 8‑channel embedded audio — SDI carries up to 8 mono channels at 24‑bit/192 kHz; analog audio in/out via 3.5 mm jack supports dual-channel IEC60958 streams
- FPGA‑based video processing — Onboard ~700 Mpixel/s pipeline enables scaling, deinterlacing, format conversion, and color‑space adjustments with minimal CPU load
- Driver‑free plug‑and‑play — UVC‑compliant; automatically detects input format and works without drivers on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS
- USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 interface — Requires ~20 Gbps USB‑C link for full‑bandwidth 4K60/4:2:2 capture, but is backward‑compatible with USB 3.1/3.0
- Compact, bus‑powered design — No external power supply needed; single USB cable provides power and data, consuming ~4.3 W
- Comprehensive software support — Includes Magewell’s USB Capture Utility plus SDKs (DirectShow, V4L2, AVFoundation, etc.), and works with OBS, VLC, vMix, Zoom, etc.
