Single-channel DVI capture for PCIe 2.0 systems

This Magewell card adds one DVI input to a desktop workstation through a PCI Express 2.0 x1 slot. It targets broadcasters, educators and AV integrators who need to ingest HD sources such as cameras, medical imagers or legacy workstations into Mac, Windows or Linux software.

Sustained capture at up to 2048 x 2160

The onboard scaler and audio embedder operate in hardware, so frame rates remain stable during long recording or streaming sessions without burdening the host CPU. A low-profile bracket is included for compact chassis, and the RoHS-compliant board draws power solely from the slot.

Replaces USB or ExpressCard grabbers

The internal PCIe connection eliminates bandwidth contention and cable disconnects common with external adapters. It is not suited for users who require multiple simultaneous inputs, SDI connectivity or 4K 60 Hz capture beyond the stated resolution ceiling.

Questions about this item

Does the Pro Capture DVI card run silently without a fan when capturing all day?

The card is a passive plug-in design with no fan, so it produces no audible noise during continuous operation.

What slot and cable must my PC already have to install this capture card?

You need a free PCI Express 2.0 x1 slot and a DVI source cable; the box includes a DVI-to-VGA adapter, a DVI-I to HDMI and component breakout cable, and a low-profile bracket.

Will the card downscale a 2048 x 2160 DVI signal to fit my older 1080p streaming setup?

Yes, on-board video scaling lets the card resize the incoming 2048 x 2160 feed to lower resolutions such as 1080p before handing it to your streaming software.
