Magewell -- the award-winning developer of innovative video interface, streaming and conversion devices -- is kicking off its extensive 2019 trade show schedule by bringing its rapidly-expanding product range to Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2019 in Amsterdam. The company will showcase new and established offerings in stand 8-G430 at the event from February 5-8, with an emphasis on solutions that simplify streaming production and make the transition from baseband signal transport to video-over-IP more affordable and practical.

Magewell has begun shipping a pair of feature-rich models in its new Pro Convert family of standalone IP encoders: the recently-introduced Pro Convert HDMI 4K Plus, and a previously-unannounced 1080p HD counterpart. Enabling users to bring traditional HDMI video signals into live, IP-based production and AV infrastructures using NewTek's NDI® technology, the two converters will be showcased alongside other Magewell innovations in stand 8-G430 at the upcoming ISE 2019 exhibition in Amsterdam.

Magewell today introduced the second member in its Pro Convert family of standalone hardware devices for bringing traditional video signals into live, IP-based broadcast and AV infrastructures using NewTek's royalty-free NDI(r) technology. The new Pro Convert SDI 4K Plus encoder converts SDI input signals up to 4K Ultra HD into full-bandwidth NDI streams with extremely low latency, enabling users to effortlessly connect SDI-equipped sources to NDI-enabled media networks, devices and applications.

Systems integrators, resellers and OEMs in the European broadcast and professional A/V markets have a new expert distributor they can rely on as they strive to keep pace with rapidly-evolving technologies fueled by IP-based innovations.

Magewell today announced two powerful new products designed to help users reliably bring traditional video signals into live, IP-based production infrastructures using NewTek's royalty-free NDI® technology. The new Pro Convert HDMI 4K Plus IP encoder hardware provides a standalone, plug-and-play on-ramp from HDMI sources to NDI-based production networks, while the Magewell Bridge software for NDI enables users of Magewell's popular capture devices to convert one or more channels of source video into live NDI streams. Both products will make their world premieres at the IBC2018 exhibition in Amsterdam, where Magewell will exhibit in stand 8.A84.

Magewell is well known for its high-performance yet cost-effective capture products, which enable end-users, systems integrators and OEM developers to reliably integrate professional video and audio signals into today's software-based media production workflows. At the IBC2018 exhibition, taking place September 14-18 in Amsterdam, the company's key theme will be showcasing how its latest innovations extend its product lines "beyond capture" into other critical signal processing functionality. Magewell will exhibit in stand 8.A84.

Hot on the heels of its award-winning NAB Show exhibit, Magewell is coming to InfoComm 2018 with its broadest and deepest product range yet. The centerpiece of the company's InfoComm demonstrations will be the AV-industry debut of the new Ultra Stream HDMI standalone streaming encoder, which makes live streaming remarkably simple even for non-professional users. Magewell will highlight the versatile encoder alongside powerful new and established video interface devices in booth C3468 at the show.
