Using the Magewell Pro Convert SDI 4K Plus is a breeze. First, connect the 6G - SDI input to your source device. The device has plug - and - play functionality, so once it's connected, it should start working right away. You can use the loop - through feature to connect an additional monitor or processing device to the original SDI signal. To configure the device, you can register it with the Control Hub or use the WebUI for remote control. You can adjust settings like deinterlacing, up/down scaling, frame rate, and aspect ratio according to your needs.
When it comes to power, just use the provided 5V/2.1A power adaptor. Make sure the power supply is stable to avoid any issues. The device comes with several accessories like a USB 2.0 A to B cable, a mini - DIN 8 breakout cable, a tally light, an L - bracket, and it has a ¼–20 threaded hole for screw mounting.
For maintenance, keep the device in a clean and dry environment. The operating temperature should be between 0 and 45 degrees Celsius, and the storage temperature should be between - 20 and 70 degrees Celsius. The relative humidity should be between 5% and 90% and non - condensing. Regularly check for firmware updates through the Control Hub to ensure optimal performance. If you're using the device for PTZ camera control, make sure the VISCA protocols are set up correctly via NDI.
