hePro Capture Quad HDMI CardfromMagewellis a normal-profile PCIe 2.0 card that allows for capturing four channels of HDMI input to your computer. The card supports multiple color sampling modes, 10-bit video processing, up to eight audio channels per input at 48 kHz, and output resolutions up to 2048 x 2160 with frame rates up to 144 fps. The card is also capable of numerous video processing features including cropping, scaling, deinterlacing, aspect ratio conversion, color format conversion, video frame rate conversion, and video OSD composition.

The Pro Capture HDMI card supports multiple cards per system and multiple capture streams with independently adjustable parameters per stream. Additional features include low latency mode, high-speed memory, continuous 24-hour operation, time stamp, and LED status indicators. The card supports the included Capture Express software on Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems, and multiple APIs for Windows and Linux. It also provides Windows SDKs for easy integration.
