The Simplest Way to Stream in 4K (No PC Needed!)

We are live on the show floor at InfoComm 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada, checking out the latest streaming, encoding, and decoding hardware at the Magewell booth! In this video, we sit down with Brent Ross (Director of Sales) for an exclusive look at how Magewell is simplifying 4K broadcast and IP video workflows. We get hands-on with their driverless, software-free USB capture line, the incredibly simple $529 Ultra Stream box (which lets you stream or record with the single press of a physical button), and the robust $899 Ultra Encode AIO. Plus, Brent shares an exclusive booth sneak peek at an unreleased product launching in September 2026: the Magewell Xmith—a powerful bi-directional hardware unit capable of encoding and decoding full 4K at 60 FPS! We also discuss future hardware accessibility testing and user feedback to ensure these premium video tools remain inclusive and accessible for all content creators. Special thanks to my camera operator, Pedro Gonzalez, for capturing the action out here in Las Vegas! 🕒 Chapters & Hardware Breakdown: 00:00 - Introduction: Driverless 4K Workflows We discuss Magewell’s plug-and-play engineering—no custom software or drivers required on Windows 11 or Mac systems. 01:10 - Magewell USB Capture Family A look at the professional dongle lineup, supporting up to 12G 4K video input with clean USB-C outputs for Zoom, Teams, and OBS. 👉 Model Feature: Magewell USB Capture HDMI 4K Plus (MSRP: ~$545.00) 01:29 - Magewell Pro Convert IP Decoders Compact, Power over Ethernet (PoE) hardware boxes that ingest NDI/SRT streams over network infrastructure and output physical HDMI and SDI signals directly to display monitors. 02:17 - Magewell Ultra Stream HDMI (Tactile One-Button Streaming) The ultimate simplified hardware unit for houses of worship, schools, and corporate setups.
