Disappointing performance for the price

Using this product, our team found that it had a difficult time handling multiple SDI inputs simultaneously. While the interface was smooth the video quality was subpar for its price point..

Pros
  • Smooth interface
Cons
  • Poor performance, high cost

High-Quality SDI Capture Card

This capture card is the perfect addition to any computer for recording SDI signals in high quality.The installation process was simple and the card easily integrates with software. The captured footage has excellent color accuracy and MINIMAL lag in playback. One minor downside is the lack of HDMI input/output options but its a small tradeoff for the overall quality. Highly recommend for anyone in need of SDI capture for their computers..

Pros
  • Multiple SDI inputs allow for versatile video capture
Cons
  • Higher cost compared to other basic capture devices on the market

Customer beware of possible overheating

I have had three of these Magewell M.2 quad core capture cards and have had serious overheating issues with each one. I say "probably" because I'm not sure if the temperature software is working properly, but I have screenshot proof showing 255°F from Magewell's own software. Magewell couldn't help me either, nor could the Intel NUC. Both companies blamed each other and advised me to use a different component instead of both together. I've since bought the RMB equivalent of this 4ch SDI M.2…

Pros
  • Quad 2K capture card
Cons
  • Poor set
