Magewell Pro Convert NDI to SDI

Compact NDI to 3G-SDI decoder — integrate NDI and SRT streams into existing SDI broadcast infrastructure.

  • Decodes Full NDI, NDI|HX and NDI|HX2 to 3G-SDI output — integrate NDI sources into existing SDI routing, monitoring and broadcast infrastructure
  • SRT decoding to SDI — receive SRT contribution feeds from remote locations and deliver to SDI broadcast infrastructure without dedicated decoding workstations
  • SD-SDI, HD-SDI and 3G-SDI output — automatic output format matching for SDI infrastructure requirements
  • Compact fanless design with PoE — permanently install at SDI input points in broadcast facilities and venues without noise or separate power
  • Integrates IP production into legacy SDI infrastructure — the bridge between modern NDI workflows and existing SDI routing, monitoring and distribution equipment
  • Web-based source selection — choose any NDI source on the network from a browser and deliver it to SDI output

NDI into SDI Infrastructure

The Magewell Pro Convert NDI to SDI enables NDI sources to be received at any point in an existing SDI infrastructure without replacing that infrastructure. An NDI camera feed, vMix output or SRT contribution stream can be decoded to SDI and fed into SDI routing switchers, SDI monitors, SDI recording systems and SDI distribution infrastructure already in place.

This is a critical device for broadcast facilities transitioning from SDI to IP workflows — NDI sources can be introduced into the facility while the existing SDI infrastructure continues to operate, with NDI to SDI decoders bridging the two systems.

Protecting the SDI Investment

Broadcast facilities with extensive SDI infrastructure — routing switchers, patch bays, SDI monitors and SDI recording systems — can adopt NDI-based production without writing off the SDI investment. NDI to SDI decoders deliver NDI sources to any SDI input point in the facility, making NDI cameras and software outputs compatible with all existing SDI equipment.

For HDMI output, see the Pro Convert NDI to HDMI (£370). For simultaneous HDMI, SDI and analogue outputs, see the Pro Convert NDI to AIO (£338). For 4K SDI output, contact us about 12G-SDI decoder options.

The Pro Convert NDI to SDI is the standard bridge between NDI production networks and existing SDI broadcast infrastructure.

📺

Broadcast Facility NDI to SDI Integration

Decode NDI sources from the production network to SDI for delivery to existing SDI routing switchers, SDI monitors and SDI recording systems — introducing NDI workflows without replacing SDI infrastructure.

🎓

University Studio SDI Integration

Deliver NDI camera feeds and software outputs from IP production systems to SDI monitoring, SDI recording and SDI routing in university broadcast studios with existing SDI infrastructure.

📡

Remote SRT to SDI Decoding

Receive SRT contribution feeds from remote field locations and decode to SDI for delivery into the broadcast facility's SDI routing infrastructure — no dedicated decoding workstation at each SDI input.

🏟️

Venue SDI Infrastructure Integration

Deliver NDI production outputs to SDI monitors, SDI recording systems and SDI distribution infrastructure at sports venues and event locations.

🔴

Newsroom NDI to SDI Feeds

Decode NDI feeds from IP news production systems to SDI for delivery to legacy SDI monitors, SDI playout systems and SDI transmission equipment in newsrooms with hybrid IP/SDI infrastructure.

🎭

Theatre & Venue SDI Monitor Feeds

Decode NDI programme outputs to SDI for delivery to SDI monitors, confidence displays and SDI distribution infrastructure at theatres and performing arts venues.

Worship Facility SDI Integration

Houses of worship with existing SDI monitoring infrastructure can receive NDI production outputs and deliver them to SDI monitors and SDI recording systems without replacing SDI equipment.

🎬

Post-Production NDI to SDI

Post-production facilities with SDI monitoring and grading infrastructure can receive NDI programme feeds and deliver to SDI reference monitors and SDI QC systems via individual decoders.

🔌

AV Integration SDI Output Points

Integrators building hybrid NDI/SDI production infrastructure deploy NDI to SDI decoders at SDI output points — routing NDI sources to any SDI device without replacing SDI infrastructure.

Can it feed an SDI routing switcher?

Yes. The SDI output from the Pro Convert NDI to SDI is a standard 3G-SDI signal compatible with any SDI routing switcher, monitor, recorder or distribution device. It is electrically identical to any other SDI signal on the facility routing system.

What NDI versions does it support?

Full NDI, NDI|HX and NDI|HX2 — all three NDI generations. The decoder handles whichever version the NDI source is outputting.

Can it decode SRT streams from remote locations?

Yes. SRT streams from remote encoders and contribution feeds can be received and decoded directly to SDI output — no additional software or hardware required between the SRT source and the SDI destination.

What is the advantage over NDI to AIO at the same price?

The Pro Convert NDI to SDI (£338) has a single SDI output only. The Pro Convert NDI to AIO (£338) has HDMI, SDI and analogue outputs simultaneously from one device. At the same price, the AIO provides more output flexibility. The NDI to SDI is appropriate where a single SDI output point is required.
