Magewell Pro Convert HDMI TX 1-Channel NDI Encoder

The Pro Convert HDMI TX 1-Channel NDI Encoder from Magewell allows you to convert an HDMI signal with embedded audio to an NDI stream. It supports resolutions up to 2048 x 1200 at 60p on both input and NDI output. The device can be powered via an included power adapter or over PoE using the NDI port. It features a 1/4"-20 thread for camera mounting and can be used in the studio or in the field thanks to a compact and robust design. There's also a PTZ+tally shared mini-DIN port for connecting tally lights or setting up NDI-based PTZ camera control. A tally light accessory comes included.
A companion Web UI allows assigning the device name, source name, and other settings. The encoder also has an on-board SD card slot but it is not functional at the time of this writing. Any future firmware updates will also be accessible via the Web UI.
The Pro Convert HDMI TX Encoder additionally features an adaptive HDMI equalizer that allows for HDMI cables lengths up to 98'.
