Thank you for the video. I have recently purchased several of these for our new church building. Do you know if there is a way to persist a source? I know you can save a preset, which I’ve done, but it seems every time I launch Proclaim and go On Air, I have to log into the converters and select the preset associated with the Proclaim source. FWIW I’m using static IPs on the network to eliminate any chances of changing IPs.
Yes and a high priced one trick pony it is. You can get the same performance from a $140 mini PC running NDI Studio Monitor. We velcro the little PC to the back of our 75" displays and use them for presentation slides for our services. Since the mini PC has 2 HDMI's it is running our 2 front displays from one and we have another for our side room and another in the Nursery which displays the live stream feed. Since they are true PCs we have added wireless mouse and key board and use the one in the side room for SS program and meetings where we can display documents and do Zoom meetings as well. For the 4 monitors we would have 4 x $500 or $2000 in Magwell one trick ponies where we have less than $600 in 3 mini PCs with keyboards and mice and can do a lot more with them. I am just trying to spread the word to help other churches save on their always limited budgets.
Great explanation of this unit. How does it act on startup? Does it start automatically streaming the last selected source? Thinking of the nursery tv scenario, would be nice to just turn the tv on and it works without having to configure each time.
Alpha channels are listed as a feature on the 4K version. I have not had a chance to test that on this version and I don’t see it listed. www.magewell.com/products/pro-convert-for-ndi-to-hdmi-4k
So this unit is setup to receive and NDI signal and convert it to HDMI for any standard screen to show. Where the NDI signal comes from can vary, like from a PTZ Camera, OBS, or other software. The Apple TV doesn't create and NDI stream so that really won't work. Easiest thing would be to get something like the link below which takes in and HDMI signal (from the APPLE TV) sends it over the ethernet where ever you need it, then converts it back to HDMI. amzn.to/3qj5rNb
I've been looking for something like this but for rtmp/ip instead of ndi. I have a couple non-ndi ptz cams where it would be awesome if I could run one ethernet cable for power and video to a poe switch then run another ethernet from the switch to a box that has hdmi out to my ATEMs. I know how to make one using a Raspberry pi but they aren't as cheap as they were a couple years ago. I'd also prefer something more professionally made.
These are great for an IP Camera straight to a monitor for a secure door... I am trying to find a low latency solution... customer needs 50-100ms latency.

What mini PC do you use? Thank you for the info.
The mini PC is a great idea. Which mini PC do you use?

Can the USB on the Magewell be used in the computer. For instance can zoom/teams be able to detect it as a camera?
Thanks for your video. Does this box support an alpha channel, like when using lower thirds from Proclaim for a video switcher?

Can this device display the feed from streaming SW like Streamlabs
1'41: nice cabeling job.
Will this work with apple tv. We use apple tv as a source to show speaker presentation when using a macbook or ipad. Please advise!

I have not seen one but I bet they exist.
Is it possible to run NDI over a 100' long HDMI cable with some type of converters ???
NDI really only works over Ethernet cables not HDMI. That is a very long run of cable for HDMI not sure it would be reliable.

Yes, latency is an issue with most NDI solutions. We are actaully deploying two wireless HDMI links because they promise
