Magewell Pro Capture Mini SDI PCIe Capture Card (with Small Heat Sink)

The Pro Capture Mini SDI Capture Card with Small Heat Sink from Magewell is a mini PCIe add-on card that allows for capturing a single channel of SD/HD/3G-SDI and SD/HD/3G-SDI loopback. The card supports extraction of SMPTE 352 payload identifier and is capable of performing various video processing features, including cropping, scaling, de-interlacing, aspect ratio conversion, color format conversion, video frame rate conversion, and video OSD composition.

SDI Features
Integrated cable equalizer supporting cable lengths up to 755' for HD signals
Supports SD/HD/3Ga/3Gb/3Ga-DL/3Gb-DS standards

Supports 10/12-bit color depth
Support for up to 8 (mono) audio channels at 48 kHz (channels 1 to 8 from the 16 available in the SDI spec)
Supports extraction of audio formation information and channel status data
Limited support of 3Gb-DS (only the first stream can be captured)
Limited support for capture of the first link of dual link interfaces (YCbCr 4:2:2 10-bit 1080p 50/59.94/60 is captured as 1080i 50/59.94/60; YCbCr 4:4:4 10-bit is captured as 4:2:2; RGB 4:4:4: R/B sub-sampled)

Video Processing Features

Full 10-bit video processing
Wave, blend top and bottom field, top field only, and bottom field only de-interlacing modes
Auto or manual selection of input and output aspect ratio
Three aspect ratio conversion modes (ignore (anamorphic), cropping or padding (letterbox or pillarbox))
Auto or manual selection of input color format and quantization range
Auto or manual selection of output color format, quantization range, and saturation range
Supports RGB, YCbCr 601, YCbCr 709, YCbCr 2020 color formats
Supports limited or full quantization range
Supports limited, full, and extended gamut saturation range
Supports PNG OSD image (up to 2048 x 2048)
Supports dynamic loading of RGBA OSD image via SDK

Multiple Cards Per System
Supports multiple cards in one system
On-board rotary switch to set card number, with 16 positions from 0 to F
System hardware device tree will display 01: Pro Capture AIO when rotary switch is set to 1, and so on
The video and audio device names displayed in your software will include the card number (set by the rotary switch)

Multiple Capture Streams
Unlimited capture streams for any one input channel
Independent cropping, aspect ratio, color format, resolution, frame rate, de-interlacing, and color adjustment settings for each individual stream

Ultra-Low Latency Support
Latency of 64 video lines
Partial notification mode in SDK

Timestamp & AV Synchronization
Hardware-based 100ns high-resolution clock
Audio frames (192 audio samples) & video frames are stamped with hardware clock
Hardware clock can be synchronized across cards (via SDK)

Video Output SG-DMA
Supports auto detection of Intel tiled GPU surface
Supports DirectGMA for AMD video adapter chipsets
Supports GPUDirect for NVIDIA video adapter chipsets
400 MB/s per channel DMA bandwidth in PCIe 2.0 system and 200 MB/s per channel DMA bandwidth in PCIe 1.0 system

SDK
Pro Capture SDK for DirectShow for easy integration (Windows)
Pro Capture SDK for DirectKS for maximum flexibility & performance (Windows)

Windows Driver Tweaks
All options can be controlled by three levels of registry key: global level, product level, and device level
Video, audio, crossbar filter names can be customized via registry keys

Firmware Upgrade
Multiple cards in one system can be upgraded simultaneously
Cards can be upgraded without a system power shutdown when it is not in use
If power off or system break down occur when the firmware is being upgraded, it will automatically restore to the initial version (this function is only available for firmware version 1.21 and above)
