Magewell Pro Convert NDI / HDMI
Plan the conversion around the source, destination and signal direction you need. The Magewell Pro Convert NDI / HDMI reference requires the full model to be identified to confirm the proposal’s conversion direction and connections.
Identification and scope
- Manufacturer or brand
- Magewell
- Equipment name
- Magewell Pro Convert NDI / HDMI
- Location
- Ask about availability and location
- Supply for the event
- Listed as available; confirm for the planned date and scope
- Configuration or function
- NDI/HDMI conversion; conversion direction and inputs/outputs to confirm.
You can start with what you want to connect and the signal destination, even without a chosen model or final network diagram. We will review the required direction, equipment and supply options.
Information to prepare this item
- Full model, identification, ports, firmware version and documented conversion direction for the unit.
- Source, destination, intended formats, network and signal path to review against the identified configuration.
Identify the model and required direction
Gather the unit’s full identification and documentation. Record where the signal originates and where it needs to go; the NDI / HDMI label does not confirm conversion in both directions. Direction and inputs and outputs remain to be confirmed for the proposed equipment.
Prepare the signal path details
| Point | What to record | How to proceed |
|---|---|---|
| Unit and direction | Full model, documentation, ports and intended conversion direction | Confirm the unit’s documented function for that direction |
| Source and destination | Equipment, signals and intended formats at each end of the path | Review system compatibility before agreeing on checks |
| Network and preparation | Network path, power supply, accessories and system contacts | Coordinate documented requirements and project checks |
If the model is not yet defined, record the direction you need and the equipment you want to link. This guide does not assign encoding or decoding, an NDI variant, formats, latency, audio, power supply or compatibility to an unidentified unit, or instruct firmware or network changes during the event; it also does not claim a completed test.
Topics to discuss
- Inputs and outputs
- Formats and conversion
- Control and networks
- Signal loss and recovery
Before applying settings, identify the complete equipment variant and consult its documentation.
