Magewell has expanded its PCI Express capture hardware line with the release of its Pro Capture HDMI 4K Plus LT.
The model adds HDMI signal loop-through connectivity to a feature set that allows the product to capture video up to 4096x2160 at 60 frames per second over an HDMI 2.0 input interface. It is suitable for use in broadcast, medical imaging, gaming, streaming, surveillance, and virtual reality (VR) production.
Input video -- along with embedded audio -- can be sent to multiple software applications simultaneously, with independent control of the resolution, frame rate and video processing settings for each. 10-bit, FPGA-based video processing provides high-quality up/down/cross-conversion, graphic overlay, de-interlacing and more without taking valuable host system CPU cycles away from third-party software.
The Pro Capture HDMI 4K Plus LT supports Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems and is compatible with a number of encoding, streaming, live production, web conferencing, lecture capture, medical imaging and VR creation software. An SDK lets third-party developers use the full feature set of Magewell cards in custom software applications and turnkey solutions.
