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!

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.

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.

Has clear imagen and the best thing is that bingo don the CPU usage a lot from 100% to 5 or 7% I recomendé it if you have that problem

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!
