Magewell converts four IP streams into one 4Kp60 output
Magewell has launched the Pro Convert IP to AIO 4K, a device designed to convert up to four IP streams into a single 4Kp60 HDMI and SDI signal. This product supports various IP protocols including NDI (High Bandwidth, HX, HX2, HX3), SRT, MPEG-TS, RTMP, RTSP, HLS, HTTP, and ZIXI, and offers features like HDR PQ/HLG support and remote management via Control Hub or Zixi ZEN Master.
Key Takeaways
- Pro Convert IP to AIO 4K converts up to four IP streams into one 4Kp60 HDMI and SDI output.
- Supported inputs include NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX, NDI HX2, NDI HX3, SRT, MPEG-TS over RTP/UDP/RIST, RTMP, RTSP, HLS, HTTP, and ZIXI.
- The device supports multiview layouts: single view at up to 4096x2160p60, picture-in-picture with 2 streams at up to 1920x1080p60, and quad view with 4 streams at up to 1920x1080p60.
- HDMI output reaches 4096x2160 60fps at 4:2:2 10-bit or 12-bit, while SDI output reaches 4096x2160 60fps 4:2:2 10-bit.
- Remote centralized management is available through Control Hub or Zixi ZEN Master, and the unit also offers a web GUI, HTTP APIs, and PTZ control.
Why It Matters
Magewell is packing multiple IP protocols into a single appliance that can feed baseband HDMI and SDI workflows at 4Kp60. That matters for operators moving between IP-native production and legacy presentation or distribution gear, especially since the box supports NDI 6.3, HDR PQ/HLG, and centralized management through Control Hub or Zixi ZEN Master. The key signal to watch is how teams use the multiview modes: single view at 4096x2160p60, PiP with two streams, or quad view with four streams.
