Bringing a new dimension to its portfolio of cost-effective devices for bridging traditional video equipment with IP-based workflows, Magewell today unveiled the new Pro Convert AIO RX hardware-based NDI decoder. Converting live NDI streams into high-quality SDI or HDMI outputs for connection to baseband devices such as monitors and projectors, the low-latency decoder simplifies the use of NewTeks popular media-over-IP technology in applications such as digital signage and video walls.
Magewells FPGA-based NDI decoding capabilities are also being added to its four recently-released Pro Convert Plus NDI encoders, with the new functionality available to current owners as a free firmware upgrade. The Pro Convert AIO RX and new decoding upgrades will make their global debut in booth SU5724 at the 2019 NAB Show (April 8-11 in Las Vegas).
Just as Magewells Pro Convert encoders enable users to connect SDI or HDMI-based video sources such as cameras into flexible, IP-based production infrastructures, the Pro Convert AIO RX lets integrators and end-users output any NDI stream to baseband presentation or distribution equipment such as displays, projectors and routers. It can also be used to integrate legacy equipment such as switchers into NDI-enabled production workflows, or simply paired with an NDI encoder to enable long-distance transport of audio, video and power (PoE) over a single IP network cable.
The Pro Convert AIO RX helps customers maximize their investments in production, distribution and display equipment as they transition to IP, but we also designed it to be a catalyst for accelerating the adoption of NDI in the professional AV market, said Nick Ma, CEO and CTO at Magewell. It affordably opens the door for using NDI in video-enhanced digital signage; large-scale video walls; multi-site video distribution; image magnification (IMAG) in churches and entertainment venues; and other presentation applications. We are also pleased to add these powerful decoding capabilities to our popular Pro Convert Plus encoders, giving customers exceptional conversion flexibility.
Magewells feature-rich Pro Convert encoders were among the first products to incorporate our NDI Embedded SDK for maximum compatibility, and have helped make the transition to IP-based production easy and affordable for content creators, said Dr. Andrew Cross, president and CTO, NewTek. Their new Pro Convert AIO RX is poised to bring similar benefits to the broader professional AV market, combining the high quality and low latency of our NDI technology to empower applications from video walls to immersive audience experiences.
The compact, plug-and-play Pro Convert AIO RX features DHCP-based automatic network configuration, while a browser-based interface provides access to status monitoring and advanced features such as FPGA-based up/down/cross-conversion. Two on-device buttons also enable users to select source content and match the output format to their target display without requiring a computer: one for choosing between all NDI streams available on the network, and a second for picking a preset output resolution and frame rate.
Slated for release in Q2, the Pro Convert AIO RX decodes NDI streams and outputs them over HDMI or SDI interfaces at resolutions up to 1080p HD. Users wishing to decode and output 4K NDI streams can do so with the newly-upgraded Pro Convert HDMI 4K Plus or Pro Convert SDI 4K Plus encoder/decoder models.
Owners of existing Pro Convert HDMI 4K Plus, Pro Convert SDI 4K Plus, Pro Convert HDMI Plus and Pro Convert SDI Plus encoders can add decoding abilities with a simple firmware update. Once upgraded, the units can be easily switched between encoding and decoding modes through the browser-based interface, providing exceptional versatility for users with varying project- or event-based workflows. In decoding mode, the devices HDMI or SDI loop-through connection becomes the output interface, with the units input connection able to serve as a hot backup source if the chosen NDI stream is interrupted.

About NDI
NDI is in use on millions of devices and allows multiple video systems to identify and communicate with one another over IP. NDI can encode, transmit and receive many streams of high quality, low latency, frame-accurate video and audio in real time. This benefits any network-connected video device, including video mixers, graphics systems, capture cards, and many other production devices. This makes it possible to exponentially increase the number of sources available for live production switching, without directly attaching to devices, changing locations, or investing in expensive, high-bandwidth networks that simply replace SDI-based workflows. #NDIcentral Copyright 2019 Nanjing Magewell Electronics Co, Ltd.
