Who We Are

iView Data Ltd was founded in Leicester in 2002. What began as a specialist supplier of professional video hardware has grown steadily over two decades into a business that covers the full breadth of modern AV, broadcast, IP video and streaming technology — from a single USB capture device for a university lecture room to a multi-camera NDI production network for a broadcast facility.

We carry hardware from Magewell, Blackmagic Design, Elgato, Kiloview, Epiphan, BirdDog, Inogeni and YoloLiv — a range built up over two decades and supported by the same team that has been advising clients on video technology since before HD broadcast became the standard.

We are a small, focused team. Enquiries are answered by people who use and understand this equipment — not a call centre reading from a script. When you contact us with an application requirement, you get a direct, informed response.

What We Actually Do

We cover the full signal chain — from capturing video at source through to encoding, conversion, distribution and production.

USB & PCIe Capture
Capturing HDMI, SDI, DVI and analogue sources to a PC — for recording, streaming, conferencing or post-production. Driverless UVC devices through to multi-channel PCIe ingest cards.
Hardware Encoding
Standalone encoders that stream to YouTube, Facebook or custom RTMP/SRT endpoints without requiring a PC. Magewell Ultra Encode, Kiloview, Epiphan Pearl range.
NDI & IP Video
Converting cameras to NDI for video-over-IP production networks. Magewell Pro Convert encoders and decoders, BirdDog NDI cameras, Kiloview NDI|HX encoders.
Video Conversion
Bridging signal formats — HDMI to SDI, NDI to HDMI, IP to USB, 12G-SDI to NDI. Magewell Pro Convert range.
Live Production
All-in-one production switchers — Magewell Director, YoloLiv YoloBox — for multi-camera switching, mixing and streaming from one device.
M.2 Capture
Broadcast-grade video capture in M.2 form factor for NUC mini PCs and compact embedded systems. Magewell Eco Capture M.2 range.

Who We Work With

Our clients span a wide range of sectors. The common thread is that they need hardware that works reliably — often in applications where failure has real consequences.

📡
Broadcast & Production
Television production companies, OB units, broadcast facilities and independent production teams using our NDI, PCIe and Pro Convert hardware in live and recorded workflows.
🎓
Universities & Further Education
Lecture capture systems, lecture theatre AV integration, remote teaching infrastructure and research recording. Magewell Eco Capture M.2 in NUC appliances running Panopto and Kaltura is a common deployment.
🏛️
Government & Public Sector
Council chambers, public inquiry recording, parliamentary-style meeting rooms and government training facilities. Mission-critical recording environments where reliability and supplier continuity are prioritised.
🏥
Healthcare & Medical
Surgical video capture, endoscopy recording, telemedicine and clinical training. 4K HDMI and SDI capture from medical imaging equipment in environments where image quality and audit trails matter.
🏢
Corporate & Enterprise
Corporate event streaming, internal communications, hybrid meeting infrastructure and permanent conference room AV. Hardware encoders and USB capture devices for Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms.
Houses of Worship
Live streaming of services to YouTube, Facebook and congregation platforms. All-in-one switchers and hardware encoders operated by volunteer teams who need equipment that is straightforward to use week after week.
🔧
AV Integrators & Resellers
We supply trade customers and systems integrators specifying hardware for client installations. Quantity discounts are available — contact us to discuss trade pricing for project or ongoing requirements.
🎮
Content Creators & Streamers
YouTubers, Twitch streamers, influencers and independent content producers needing capture cards and streaming hardware that delivers the quality their audience expects without unnecessary complexity.

Technical Support

Technical support is part of what we do, not an add-on. If you purchase hardware from us and encounter a configuration issue, an integration problem or a compatibility question, we will help you resolve it. We have hands-on experience with every product category we carry.

This is particularly relevant for clients deploying equipment in complex environments — multi-camera NDI networks, medical imaging systems, broadcast ingest infrastructure or lecture capture appliances. These are not straightforward plug-and-play installations and we understand that.

Quantity & Trade Pricing

Discounts are available for quantity orders and for AV integrators, resellers and system designers specifying hardware across multiple installations. We assess each enquiry individually — pricing reflects order size, product mix and the nature of the relationship rather than a fixed tier structure.

If you are specifying hardware for a project or tendering for a contract that includes our product categories, contact us early. We can provide formal quotations, assist with technical specifications and, where required, supply reference hardware for evaluation.

Solutions, Not Just Products

A product listing tells you what something does. What it doesn't tell you is whether it's the right choice for your specific setup — your signal chain, your software, your network infrastructure, your operator skill level.

We ask questions before making recommendations. In some cases that means pointing a client towards a less expensive option than the one they originally enquired about. We would rather do that than supply hardware that doesn't solve the actual problem.

Mission-Critical Applications

Some of the enquiries we receive involve applications where the recording or stream cannot fail — surgical procedures, public inquiry proceedings, emergency services training, live broadcast events. We take these requirements seriously and are candid about what hardware is appropriate for a given level of criticality.

This means discussing redundancy, fallback options, power and network resilience, and whether a specific product's track record suits the environment. We would rather have a longer conversation at the specification stage than a short one when something goes wrong.
