4K Plus LT — A Specific Professional Variant

The Magewell Pro Capture HDMI 4K Plus LT is a specific variant within the Pro Capture HDMI 4K Plus family — sharing the core 4K HDMI capture capability, genlock synchronisation and professional broadcast-grade feature set of the HDMI 4K Plus, with specific technical characteristics that distinguish it for particular professional deployment scenarios.

The core capture specification is consistent with the HDMI 4K Plus — HDMI 2.0 input at up to 3840×2160 at 60fps, genlock for facility synchronisation, PCIe DMA for low-latency delivery to the host, and compatibility with all major professional video applications on Windows, Linux and macOS.

For customers unsure whether the HDMI 4K Plus (£595) or the HDMI 4K Plus LT (£604) is the correct variant for their specific application, our team can advise — the technical differences between these two closely related models are specific and application-dependent.

Choosing Within the 4K Plus Family

The Pro Capture HDMI 4K Plus family — comprising the HDMI 4K Plus (£595) and HDMI 4K Plus LT (£604) — represents the professional broadcast standard for single-channel 4K HDMI PCIe capture with genlock. Both cards deliver the same production-grade 4K capture experience for the vast majority of professional use cases.

The £9 price difference between the two variants reflects specific technical characteristics rather than a meaningful capability difference for most applications. If you are specifying for a broadcast facility, production workstation or server environment and are uncertain which variant is correct, contact us with details of your system and we will confirm the appropriate choice.

For multi-format 4K capture including SDI and analogue, see the Pro Capture AIO 4K Plus (£637). For dual-channel 4K HDMI, see the Pro Capture Dual HDMI 4K Plus LT (£1,207).
