Four-Channel SDI Capture

The Magewell 11090 Pro Capture Quad SDI captures four independent SD, HD or 3G-SDI streams through BNC connectors on a single PCIe Gen2 x4 card. It suits broadcast engineers, live-event producers and multi-camera streaming setups that need simultaneous ingest on Windows, Linux or macOS systems.

Check PCIe Slot and OS Support

Verify your motherboard has a free PCIe Gen2 x4 or larger slot and that your operating system is Windows 7 through 10, Linux with V4L2 or macOS 10.9 through 10.12. The card draws power from the slot and requires no external supply, but available bus bandwidth may limit maximum frame rates at higher resolutions.

For Multi-Source SDI Workflows

This card fits installations that must capture four SDI sources at once for switching, recording or streaming. It is not for users who only need a single capture input, who rely on HDMI or analogue sources, or who require onboard encoding to formats the driver does not expose.

Questions about this item

Does the card include the SDI cables or must they be purchased separately?

The card provides four BNC input ports for SD/HD/3G-SDI signals; cables are not included and must be sourced separately.

Is there a choice of capacities or versions for the 11090 model?

The Pro Capture Quad SDI 11090 is a single four-channel configuration; no alternative capacity or version options are offered.

What does the 2048×2160 capture resolution mean when the card is installed in a system?

It supports input resolutions up to 2048×2160 at frame rates up to 144 fps, with actual throughput limited by the PCIe Gen2 x4 bandwidth available in the host.
