Magewell adds HDMI and 6G-SDI mixing to Ultra Encode AIO
Magewell has introduced the Ultra Encode AIO, an all-in-one streaming encoder for professional broadcast, live events, and hybrid production environments. The device combines HDMI and SDI inputs, supporting resolutions up to 4K60 and 4K30 respectively, and can mix these inputs into a picture-in-picture or side-by-side combined output. It features H.264/H.265 processing, multi-protocol delivery to up to six simultaneous destinations, and local recording to SD card and USB.
Key Takeaways
- The Ultra Encode AIO is the only model in the Ultra Encode family with both HDMI and 6G-SDI inputs in one device.
- It can mix HDMI and SDI sources into picture-in-picture or side-by-side output without extra hardware.
- The encoder supports up to six simultaneous destinations across RTMP, SRT, RTSP, HLS, NDI HX2, NDI HX3 and TVU ISSP.
- Local recording can run to SD card and USB flash drive at the same time, with MP4 or MOV output.
- The unit is rack-mountable, PoE+ powered, and includes CEA-608/708 closed caption passthrough from SDI.
Why It Matters
The immediate impact is straightforward: facilities that need both HDMI and SDI in one box now have a single encoder that can also mix those sources into PiP or side-by-side output. That matters for broadcast, live events, OB trucks, houses of worship, sports venues, and corporate AV workflows named in the product page. The broader signal is that Magewell is pushing the AIO above the HDMI-only and SDI-only Ultra Encode models with six-destination delivery, NDI HX3, and local recording. Next to watch: whether channel partners and buyers prioritize the 531300000’s 4K60 HDMI / 4K30 SDI split over the lower-priced Ultra Encode HDMI Plus and Ultra Encode SDI Plus.
