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.
