Magewell announced new Q-SYS plug-in integrations for the Pro Convert family of live IP video encoders and decoders. As a contributor to the Q-SYS Ecosystem, Magewell collaborated with Q-SYS to create a solution that integrates with the Q-SYS cloud-manageable audio, video, and control platform.

The Pro Convert plug-in integrations have been approved with Q-SYS Certified status and are now available for download through Q-SYS Designer Asset Manager found in the Q-SYS Designer Software.

Magewell’s Pro Convert family of converters lets users bring AV signals into and out of IP-based media infrastructures. Pro Convert encoders transform HDMI or SDI source signals into NDI High Bandwidth IP streams with extremely low latency. Pro Convert decoders convert live NDI® High Bandwidth or NDI HX streams — as well as H.264 or H.265 streams in protocols including SRT, RTMP, RTSP and more — into high-quality SDI or HDMI outputs for display on devices such as monitors and projectors.

The new plug-ins enable monitoring, configuration, and control of Pro Convert devices through the Q-SYS Platform. For Pro Convert encoders, users can configure NDI encoding settings; specify the NDI transmission method; access an NDI Discovery Server; view technical details of the input source signal; and adjust image settings such as brightness and hue. With Pro Convert decoders, the plug-in lets users configure NDI transmission and discovery settings; select between available NDI source streams on the network; view technical details of the NDI streams; configure the decoder’s output resolution; and adjust video output functions including tally indicators, audio meters, image flipping and more.
