Magewell Ultra Encode HDMI Reviews

Works very well

This encoder does a very good job. Even when doing two streams at once. Easy to use.

Can you stream using RTMP and NDI as well as record at the same time?
Asked by: DEREK
The Magewell Ultra Encode HDMI Plus Universal 4K Encoder can record and stream simultaneously. It can also stream in both RTMP and NDI as long as NDI|HX2 is used. Please note that only a max of 2 simultaneous sessions of NDI|HX2 are possible. NDI|HX3 cannot be streamed at the same time as other streaming protocols.
