What's in the Box
- Magewell Pro Capture HDMI 4K Plus Capture Card (1-Channel)
- Low Profile Bracket
- Limited 1-Year Warranty
The Pro Capture HDMI 4K Plus Capture Card from Magewell is a low-profile PCIe x4 card that allows for capturing a single channel of HDMI + embedded audio. The card supports extraction of AVI/Audio/SPD/MS/VS/ACP/ISRC1/ISRC2/Gamut InfoFrames, audio formation information and channel status data, video timing information, 3D format information, and Sony/Canon DSLR timecode. The card is also capable of performing various video processing features, including cropping, scaling, deinterlacing, aspect ratio conversion, color format conversion, video frame rate conversion, and video OSD composition.
