Magewell Capture
Magewell Capture is the free, dedicated path for supported Magewell Pro capture cards. It does not require a Helios account.
Controls
- Select and refresh the detected Magewell device.
- Choose 720p, 1080p, or 1440p.
- Choose BGR, YUY2, or NV12.
- Review live input, frame, bandwidth, and Write FPS status.
Use
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Install the current Magewell driver for the card. Helios includes the runtime support it needs. |
| 2 | Connect a valid signal and select the device. |
| 3 | Choose the resolution and format. |
| 4 | Start capture and confirm the input and frame status update. |
Troubleshooting
- No device: confirm Windows and Magewell utilities can see the card, then refresh.
- No signal: verify the source resolution/refresh rate and cabling.
- Low write rate: lower resolution or use NV12.
Use DS Capture or MF Capture for non-Magewell devices.
