Magewell Pro Convert for NDI to HDMI 4K Module

The Magewell Pro Convert for NDI® to HDMI 4K Module is a hot-swappable decoding module designed for use within the Magewell Modator 2U chassis. Purpose-built for rack-mounted, centralized deployments, it converts NDI® High Bandwidth, NDI® HX2, NDI® HX3, and other IP-based video streams into a pristine 4K HDMI output, enabling seamless integration between IP-based video infrastructures and traditional HDMI systems.

Supporting decoding of up to 4Kp60 streams with very low latency, this module ensures smooth, real-time video delivery for live production, broadcast, and professional AV environments. It’s fully manageable via the Modator chassis touchscreen, Web GUI, or Magewell Control Hub, offering streamlined configuration, centralized monitoring, and control.

The Pro Convert for NDI® to HDMI 4K Module supports a wide range of streaming protocols and codecs, including H.264/H.265 video and AAC/MP3 audio, providing maximum flexibility and interoperability across diverse IP video workflows.
