Overview
Pro Convert family decoders convert live NDI, H.264 and H.265 streams into
high-quality outputs for connection to baseband devices such as monitors and
projectors. The low-latency decoder simplifies the use of NewTek’s popular
media-over-IP technology in applications such as digital signage and video
walls.
The ultra-compact Pro Convert devices are ideal for both in-studio and
portable field use. The decoder features DHCP-based automatic network
configuration, while a browser-based interface provides access to status
monitoring and advanced features such as hardware-based up/down/cross-
conversion. On-device buttons also enable users to select source content and
match the output format to their target display without requiring a computer.
