Flexibly and Reliably Decode AV-over-IP and Internet Video Streams
Pro Convert decoders support both dedicated video-over-IP and universal streaming protocols including NDI®, SRT (Secure Reliable Transport), RTMP, RTSP, RTP, UDP, HTTP and HLS, enabling high-quality conversion of full NDI, NDI|HX, H.264 (AVC) or H.265 (HEVC) streams into high-quality HDMI or SDI outputs.
Bridging Streams, Signals and Screens
Compatible with a wide variety of hardware and software encoders, Pro Convert decoders transform input streams up to 4096x2160 at 60fps for output to baseband monitors, projectors, hardware switchers and more. They are perfect for multi-site video distribution, video walls, image magnification (IMAG), digital signage, remote production and video surveillance.
Simple Access to Advanced Features
Users can easily manage Pro Convert decoders through a browser-based Web GUI, while additional control options including on-device menu buttons and USB keyboard/mouse are available even before connecting the devices to a network.
Integrated Output Optimization and Rich Audio
Pro Convert decoders offer built-in, high-quality video processing including up- and down-conversion to optimize the decoded output for the capabilities of the target display device. For audio, the decoders are compatible with multiple standards to meet the needs of users in different regions and support up to eight channels of embedded audio.
Power via Power over Ethernet (PoE) or USB power supply
There are two ways to power your converter:
- Via USB: Plug in a USB cable for power supply.
- Via PoE: Plug in a Ethernet cable, which is connected to a PoE switch, for power and Ethernet connection.
FPGA-based video processing
FPGA-based video processing, effectively reducing CPU usage. Video processing features including De-interlacing, Flip, Crop and Up/Down Conversion.
Advanced NDI® Technology for Low-Latency Live Production
Pro Convert NDI encoders and decoders efficiently convert HDMI or SDI signals up to 4Kp60 and from NewTek’s NDI technology for transport over standard local area networks and across multiple subnets. The Pro Convert family builds on NewTek’s NDI Embedded SDK to ensure compatibility with the growing ecosystem of NDI-enabled solutions, and transmits production-grade video and eight-channel audio with extremely low latency.
Automated failover redundancy
Magewell Pro Convert encoders offer automated failover for fault-tolerant NDI transmission. If a decoder cannot receive an NDI stream from the primary encoder, a backup Pro Convert device takes over transmission; the initial source will be restored after the primary encoder recovers.
Beyond providing fault tolerance during an unexpected failure, failover functionality is also valuable for maintaining continuous 24/7 display while reconfiguring the primary encoder.
