Great product - versatile

Used in an Avolites Ai Q3 and it works great to pass video feeds to a media server with nearly zero latency. Couldn?t be happier!

Easy to Install and It Works!

I'd tried BlackMagic and AJA adapters and neither worked right. The AJA would freeze the video after 15 minutes or so - I think it was getting too hot. I installed this Magewell card in the PC and after loading the drivers, it popped right and I haven't had any problems at all.

Black Magic DeckLink Freezing - Magewell to the rescue :-)

We first tried a Black Magic Deck Link Mini Recorder card with a new Panasonic HCV770 Camcorder for Live Streaming. After extensive testing, new cables, trying everything under the sun for a intermittent freezing problem. We replaced the card with this Magewell. The results were immediate, no freezing what so ever and the picture was outstanding at 1920 x 1080 60p. We are sold on Magewell.

Great card for vMix or similar

Purchased for a self-built system based on the vMix reference specs. Use it for a three HD-SDI camera system for church broadcasting and live production. Cameras used are the PTZOptics 20X-SDI. This card has no problems with these cameras. Would highly recommend!
