Magewell Pro Convert H.26x to HDMI

Description

The Magewell Pro Convert H.26x to HDMI decodes streams up to 2160x1200 at 60 frames per second for output over its HDMI 2.0 interface. Leveraging built-in, FPGA-based video processing, the device can also up-convert HD or 2K source streams to 4K for viewing on Ultra HD displays. (See “Related Products” for native 4K models and configurations that also support NewTek’s NDI® AV-over-IP technology).

Seamlessly bringing together the worlds of IP-based streaming and baseband display equipment, Magewell’s Pro Convert H.26x to HDMI multi-protocol streaming media decoder transforms an H.264 (AVC) or H.265 (HEVC) compressed video stream into a high-quality HDMI output for connection to baseband monitors, projectors and switchers.

Supporting a wide range of streaming protocols – including SRT (Secure Reliable Transport), RTSP, RTMP, UDP, RTP and HTTP streaming – for maximum source compatibility, the low-latency decoder is ideal for applications including multi-site video distribution between corporate, educational and church campuses; image magnification (IMAG), remote production; surveillance monitoring; digital signage and more.

The plug-and-play decoder features DHCP-based network configuration and can detect the video and audio characteristics of the target display device via EDID metadata, automatically selecting optimal output parameters or providing the user with a range of compatible choices. Offering the high reliability, assured performance and compact size of dedicated hardware compared to software-based stream playout, the decoder can be powered via an external adapter or Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Users can specify source streams and control the decoders’ advanced settings through a browser-based interface; wired or wireless keyboard or mouse; or using on-device controls that overlay an intuitive menu on the HDMI output.
