Magewell Pro Capture HDMI 4K PCIe Capture Card (1-Channel)

The Pro Capture HDMI 4K 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 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.
