Review: Magewell XI100DUSB-HDMI Capture dongle

[LxAV]

Hi Cosmowe,

Your device is of the same manufacturer as mine and works with the same software.
How do you set the capture stream framerate?

I've bought the Magewell XI100XUSB-PRO from the same manufacturer that sports
SDI, HDMI, DVI, VGA, Component, S-Video and Composite video input over USB3.

With AMCap2 Capture Express software supplied by the manufacturer all works brilliantly, but I can't set the video format and framerate IN RESOLUME. Upon switching software, framerate is default to 25fps which results in stuttering stream.

How do YOU set the capturing framerate in resolume?
See my post with more info and screenshots on this problem here;

any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks!

Hey LxAV,
thanks for stepping in...even if this might be the wrong thread for your problem.

You can read in my very first post that till Resolume does not support this or directshow devices natively there is no possibility to have any influence to the stream configuration. THAT is the problem with the Magewell dongle. But it works....especially with the framerate. The device (magewell dongle) configures itself depending on the Resolume composition settings...in its possibilities.

I read a bit about your device...main differences between yours any mine are that yours need a driver....and your device isn't running with DirectShow like any webcam does.

Short....I don't know how your device works....and...our device is indeed very different.

I am very very sorry... I can not help you.


Best regards

@asperi:
......I didn't tried it with two devices.... but...I would guess as long as you choose two separate usb buses you should be able to manage two Full HD streams (bandwidth)

just attempted to update my firmware...

got an error message unable to update dx3 or something...

was then prompted to disconnect the device...

now it is not recognized at all...

Hi, I just bought this dongle device 2 weeks ago and still try to find
a good and easy to use capture app to encode the incoming HDMI
to a 'not too compressed' file (MP4, AVI,???)
Can you suggest some capture application I could use with the MAgewell dongle
AND a suitable file format to re-use the capture in an video editing program
like Sony Vegas Pro 13 ?

Thanks.

[cosmowe]

Yes (-: I use Open Broadcaster with adjustable framerate and MBit rate.

I have not, but for PCIE I would go Datapath. They work great with resolume and have 4k and dual DVI cards.

Got it will check them out tomorrow, we already use 2 Datapath X4, which are great.

So I went ahead and got the quad hdmi capture card. Everything works fine on capturing PC signals and scalers. The only problem I have is getting anything captured with the input being a Mac OSX.

It regonizes that a input signal is connected but shows a unsupported signal image. Even so the BMD get the signal no problem. Anyone has a idea what could be the problem?

Blackmagic intensity pro takes RGB and YUV. The decklinks only take YUV which is why alot of older macs don't work with. As they only shoot RGB.

I'm guessing(could be wrong) since the box between the sdi and hdmi are identical, it would only accept the hdmi and sdi YUV color space. Test on a pc with a hdmi out. If it works, its because of the color space.
