Video Scaling and Streaming Built In

On-board video scaling lets the card adapt incoming signals to the resolution your software expects without host processing. Streaming and capturing functions run on the same hardware so you can record and broadcast simultaneously. No separate software licence is mentioned in the data.

Questions about this item

Will the PCI Express 2.0 x4 slot limit sustained 4096 x 2160 capture throughput?

The card uses a PCI Express 2.0 x4 host interface; sustained 4K capture runs within that lane bandwidth.

How much heat does the plug-in card generate during all-day 4K streaming?

The 2.7" by 5.5" plug-in card has no active cooling; it relies on chassis airflow to dissipate heat.

The device supports PC, Mac and Linux platforms; firmware updates are released by Magewell when required.
