In our latest unboxing, we dive into the Madgewell Pro Convert HDMI Plus. There's a lot to like here, from an affordable price to reliability in any setting. Plus, there's versatility and flexability, from converting one channel of HDMI signal with embedded audio to NDI stream to being able to loop-through one channel of HDMI signal with embedded audio.
First Impressions
The simple layout of the Magewell Pro Convert HDMI Plus will enable users to set up and convert HDMI inputs right out of the box. Power and ethernet ports are located on one end of the device, and both HDMI ports and PTZ/tally are opposite of power. Included with the Pro Convert HDMI Plus is a mini DIN8 to DIN8 and DIN9 cable for users to split tally/PTZ in its own cable. The HDMI input can support up to 4K60 4:2:0 interface and encode up to 2048x2160 120fps with one channel of embedded audio.
