Q: 1. If I am using this card to capture video from a PTZ camera that has video only on it's SDI output, how do I capture the analog audio (microphone system) that I already have installed? Is there a better card to use for that? Also, does this come with capturing software?

A: Software is not included:Supported Software:VLC, VirtualDub, OBS, xSplit, vMix, VidBlaster, Wirecast, Microsoft Media Encoder, Adobe Flash Media Encoder, Any other DirectShow/V4L2 encoding/streaming softwareYou can sync the video with your audio in post with most editing software:Additional features include ultra-low latency, timestamp and A/V synchronization

Q: 2. does it capture 4K @ 60 or just 4K @ 30??

A: The Magewell Pro Capture HDMI 4K Capture Card (1-Channel) is a 4k@30hz capture card. For 4k@60hz please use the following card. Magewell Pro Capture HDMI 4K Plus Loop-Through Capture Card BH #MA11152 • MFR #11152

Q: 3. can you run 4 instances of the magewell capture express to capture 4 different video feeds with their imbedded audio signal to create 4 video files..ie 4 different languages + same video.?

A: Yes, but the capture express encoding engine is fairly cpu intensive plus the preview may lag the machine. It didn't work that well with a 16core/32thread machine.

Q: 4. Will this work with wirecast?

A: Yes it will.

Q: 5. Are the HDMI and DB9 Ports labeled in any way? If so, what do the labels say?

A: The HDMI and DB-9 ports are not labeled. The HDMI port is the smaller of the two.

Q: 6. Is this card compatible with Mac OS X? On the Magewell site, it says so, but here in the overview, it only talks about windows drivers. Please clarify that for us all. Thank you

A: This card is compatible with Mac OS X as indicated on the Magewell website.

Q: 7. Does this card output video also?

A: It does not. This is a capture card only, it is not for playback.

Q: 8. can I capture 4 hd signals and reproduce all 4 signals at the same time in a 4k multfield?

A: Yes, you can captures 4 HD signals with the Magewell Pro Capture Quad SDI Card and reproduce all 4 signals at the same time in the multi view window of the capture or streaming software you are using.

Q: 9. Will this card bring in 4 simultaneous streams of 1080 video for live switching in VMix? Thanks!

A: Yes it will. It will take in four HD signal and work with vMix as well.

Q: 10. Is a breakout cable for the DB9 connector included?

A: Yes it is. The DB9 to YC + Composite + Analog Audio + Component Breakout cable is included in the box.
