🎥 Magewell XI100DUSB SDI USB 3.0 HD Video Capture Dongle Review

Works REALLY well. Both on PC and Mac. Uses it to transmit switchable video/audio from studio to Webex, Skype and others.

I bought this unit for live hockey webcasts. We're using a MacBook Pro with two BlackMagic Design Ultra Studio Mini Recorders connected to the computer's Thunderbolt ports to transmit SDI signals from two cameras. We use a Magewell USB Capture SDI USB 3.0 device to connect a third camera to a computer via one of its USB ports (the other USB port on the computer is used to send the stream over Ethernet). The Magewell device connects to the computer via a powered USB 3.0 hub, which also connects…
