Frequently Asked Questions

What is a video capture card and how does it work?

A video capture card is a hardware device that ingests a video signal from an external source - such as a camera, switcher, or gaming console - and delivers it to a computer for recording, live streaming, or signal conversion. Most professional capture cards also support passthrough output, allowing the source signal to simultaneously feed a monitor while being captured by the PC.

What is the Magewell USB Capture HDMI and what is it used for?

The Magewell USB Capture HDMI is a compact, bus-powered USB video capture device that ingests an HDMI signal and presents it to a computer as a standard video capture source. It is widely used for lecture capture, live streaming, video conferencing, and signal conversion in corporate, education, and broadcast environments across Australia. No driver installation is required on most operating systems.

What software is compatible with Magewell video capture cards?

Magewell capture devices are compatible with a wide range of production, streaming, and conferencing software including OBS Studio, vMix, Wirecast, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, NDI-based workflows, and most UVC-compatible applications. They are also compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems, making them versatile for diverse AV environments.

What is the difference between USB and PCIe video capture cards?

USB video capture cards are bus-powered and portable, connecting via a standard USB port with no PCIe slot required - ideal for laptops, smaller workstations, and field deployments. PCIe capture cards are installed internally into a desktop workstation and typically offer higher channel counts, lower latency, and greater bandwidth, making them suited to demanding multi-channel broadcast and production environments.

Can video capture cards be used for live streaming in Australia?

Yes, video capture cards are widely used for live streaming in Australia in corporate events, university lectures, houses of worship, and broadcast productions. Magewell USB and PCIe capture devices integrate directly with streaming software such as OBS Studio and vMix, and support output to platforms including YouTube Live, Zoom Webinar, and custom RTMP endpoints.
