Magewell Ultra Encode HDMI Plus
Standalone 4K HDMI hardware encoder — HDMI 2.0 4K60 to SRT, RTMP, HLS and NDI simultaneously. No PC required.
- HDMI 2.0 4K60 input — standalone 4K hardware encoding at up to 3840×2160 @ 60fps without any computer
- H.264 and H.265 encoding at 4K — efficient 4K compression for SRT contribution, RTMP streaming, HLS adaptive bitrate and NDI simultaneously
- Full NDI output at 4K — delivers the 4K HDMI source as an NDI stream on the local network for 4K NDI-capable production applications
- Stream to 4 destinations simultaneously — 4K SRT contribution, 4K RTMP streaming and 4K NDI all active at the same time from one device
- Enhanced encoding features over base Ultra Encode HDMI — designed for demanding professional broadcast 4K workflows requiring higher specification
- Fanless compact design — permanently install in studios, venues and equipment rooms without noise or cooling concerns
Standalone 4K Encoding
The Magewell Ultra Encode HDMI Plus is the 4K upgrade in the Ultra Encode HDMI family — accepting HDMI 2.0 sources at up to 3840×2160 @ 60fps and encoding to H.265 for SRT, RTMP, HLS and NDI simultaneously, without any PC.
For productions using 4K HDMI cameras, production switchers with 4K HDMI outputs or 4K presentation systems, the HDMI Plus provides a standalone encoding solution that makes these sources available simultaneously to 4K NDI consumers on the local network and to streaming platforms via RTMP or SRT.
4K NDI from a Standalone Device
The Full NDI output from the Ultra Encode HDMI Plus delivers 4K video over the local Ethernet network to any NDI-capable application — vMix, OBS NDI, Wirecast, NDI Studio Monitor — at full 4K resolution without any additional hardware.
For HD HDMI encoding at lower cost, see the Ultra Encode HDMI (£350). For 4K SDI encoding, see the Ultra Encode SDI Plus (£419). For HDMI, SDI and analogue from one device, see the Ultra Encode AIO (£599).

The Ultra Encode HDMI Plus is deployed wherever standalone 4K HDMI encoding is required for contribution, streaming and 4K NDI distribution.
4K PTZ Camera Standalone Encoding
Encode 4K PTZ cameras in studios, lecture theatres and houses of worship to 4K NDI for the local network and 4K RTMP for streaming platforms — standalone, permanently installed, no PC required.
4K Broadcast Contribution
Encode 4K HDMI production switcher outputs for SRT contribution to broadcast facilities and remote production hubs at full 4K60 quality over internet connections.
Stadium 4K Camera Fixed Encoding
Permanently install at 4K camera positions in sports venues — encoding 4K HDMI outputs to NDI for the venue network and RTMP for official broadcast streaming simultaneously.
4K Lecture Capture Encoding
Encode 4K lecture cameras and 4K document cameras to NDI for delivery to Panopto or Kaltura and simultaneously to RTMP for live streaming — standalone, always-on, no streaming PC.
Enterprise 4K Studio Encoding
Permanently encode 4K studio cameras and switcher outputs in corporate broadcast studios for simultaneous 4K NDI delivery to production systems and 4K streaming to enterprise platforms.
4K News & Current Affairs Contribution
Encode 4K studio cameras and live shot HDMI outputs for SRT contribution to 4K broadcast facilities — standalone deployment at contribution points without dedicated encoding workstations.
4K Live Event Encoding
Deploy at 4K production switcher HDMI outputs at major live events — simultaneously delivering 4K NDI to on-site production and 4K SRT or RTMP to streaming platforms.
4K Medical Camera Encoding
Encode 4K HDMI medical cameras and imaging equipment for 4K NDI delivery to clinical networks and simultaneous 4K SRT streaming to telemedicine and remote consultation platforms.
Permanent 4K NDI Source Integration
Permanently integrate 4K HDMI sources as 4K NDI into production networks — 4K cameras, switcher outputs and presentation systems become persistent 4K NDI sources on the network.
