How to use

Connect a compatible SDI video source to the unit’s SDI input using a coaxial SDI cable. Plug the USB connector into the host computer’s USB port; the device will enumerate as a USB video device allowing capture and streaming software to select it as an input. Configure the capture or streaming application to use the device, set the desired resolution and frame rate (up to 1080p60), and start capture or stream according to your production needs. Ensure your host system meets the software and USB bandwidth requirements for full HD60 capture.

Recommendations

For best results use high-quality SDI cables, verify frame rate and resolution settings in both camera and capture software, and test the signal chain before live events. Keep firmware and drivers updated and use a host computer with sufficient USB bandwidth and processing capability to avoid dropped frames during 1080p60 capture.
