Four-Channel HDMI Capture
The Magewell Pro Capture Quad HDMI 11100 is a PCIe Gen2 x4 card that captures up to four independent HDMI 1.4a sources simultaneously. It targets broadcasters, event producers and system integrators who need reliable multi-channel ingest for live production or recording workflows.
PCIe Gen2 x4 Host Interface
The card occupies a single PCIe Gen2 x4 slot and delivers four HDMI type A inputs with embedded audio, supporting DVI 1.0 signals via adapter. Two onboard video pipelines each provide approximately 180 megapixels per second of 10-bit processing for scaling, de-interlacing and cropping, freeing the host CPU for encoding and streaming tasks. Drivers are available for Windows 7 through 10, Linux V4L2 and macOS 10.9 through 10.12, with DirectShow, V4L2 and ALSA API support for popular software such as OBS, vMix and Wirecast.
Multi-Source Live Production
This card suits operators capturing multiple cameras, game consoles or signage players in a single workstation for simultaneous streaming or recording. It does not suit users who need 4K60 capture per channel, HDR metadata pass-through, SDI connectivity or more than four inputs without adding a second card.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum frame rate the Pro Capture Quad HDMI 11100 can sustain across all four channels at 2048x2160 resolution?
The card captures up to 144fps per channel, though actual frame rates at higher resolutions are limited by the PCIe Gen2 x4 bandwidth available to the host system.
How much power does the Pro Capture Quad HDMI 11100 draw and does it need active cooling during continuous 24/7 operation?
The card operates continuously for 24h x7 using a high-speed memory buffer and SG-DMA transmission; it has no fan, relying on the chassis airflow through its mounting holes for passive cooling.
Which slot type and host operating systems are required to run all four HDMI inputs on the Pro Capture Quad HDMI 11100?
A PCIe Gen2 x4 slot is required, with driver support for Windows 7 through 10, Linux via V4L2 kernel driver, and macOS 10.9 through 10.12 for full four-channel capture.
