We decided to use the Pro Convert in our November 2018 vMix Fun Time Live Show. Your PC will treat the device like a network adapter and assume the video coming in via USB is NDI! How to use the Pro Convert with vMix The great thing is that you don’t need Ethernet if you’re connecting directly to your PC. You can power the device via POE or USB! Typically NDI devices are powered via AC or POE but the Magewell Pro Convert HDMI 4K Plus gives you the ability to use USB. There is also a serial port for NDI PTZ control and some small tally lights. It allows you to mount the device to your camera via a standard 1/4″ 20 mount. You can use the NDI source in vMix but also be ISO recording the camera feed on an external recorder. It has some additional features that are handy such as the HDMI pass-through which is helpful for monitoring and recording. If you’re never going to need 4K, I would say that they will be looking to create a HD model too! This model supports up to 4K 60p which future proofs you for quite some time! The beauty of it is that you can use the device to downscale which means that although you may have a 4K60p camera source you can convert it to a 1080p signal to save on bandwidth and resources. It was really easy to set up and add to our video productions. We were able to test out the Pro Convert HDMI 4K Plus here at vMix HQ and it fit seamlessly into the vMix workflow. They have now branched into making NDI converter products that will allow you to take your uncompressed video from your device via HDMI/SDI and turn it into a NDI source on the network. If you’re into live production and live streaming, chances are you’ve heard of Magewell and probably have 1 or 10 of their USB dongles or perhaps one of their vMix Supported Capture Cards. After much anticipation, vMix 17 has now been officially released on the vMix website.If you have a somewhat unhealthy obsession with NDI ® like we do here at vMix, then you’ll be happy to hear about a new product from Magewell. VMix continues to set the standard for live video production and streaming software with it’s industry leading features. Not only has it supported 4K and social media integration for over 2 years, vMix 17 now includes support for direct PTZ control and Newtek NDI! NDI will open up a world of opportunity for vMix users. vMix will now have access to any NDI capable device on the local network. VMix has also released vMix Desktop Capture for NDI, which is a free application for PC and Mac that will allow you to send your desktop over NDI! vMix is a very customisable piece of software, but now with NDI the possibilities really are endless! vMix is currently the only live video production and streaming software that fully supports NDI! That means users can connect cameras, other vMix computers, Tricasters, graphics, skype, and PowerPoint all over the network from other NDI devices!
