I purchased four of these converters for use with NDI PTZ cameras. I use them to record to a multi-channel SDI recorder at the same time as a laptop running Wirecast for simultaneous recording, switching and control. In addition to NDI and NDI-HX, the ProConverter can process other Ethernet sources, including RTSP and SRT. Setup is via a built-in web page, accessible via USB or Ethernet. They connect to the cameras and computer through a 10 port, managed Ethernet switch, optimized for AV production.
Very Good With Vmix!

I needed a converter last minute to take an ndi feed to sdi externally. This definitely did the job. Simple and easy setup as well. If needed, I would get another one without a doubt!

Can I attach three of these to 5 port switch and still get a good quality feed? They would each be bringing a different NDI signal.
Asked by: Jerald
That will depend on the speed of the Network Switch. We recommend Gigabit network switches and higher for NDI set ups.

Will this pass 608/708 captions? Any way to gen lock it?
Asked by: Matthew
The manufacturer does not have any published specs defining support for caption pass through and there is no option for genlock on this device.
