Description
The U-TAP SDI is a compact USB 3.0 capture device that accepts a single 3G-SDI input and provides driverless UVC/UAC capture across macOS / Windows / Linux. It is bus powered so no external power supply is required – making it easy to connect to laptops and workstations. The unit is designed to capture HD and SD signals up to 1080p 60 with embedded audio.
Key features include 3G-SDI input with a looping SDI output, support for YCbCr 4:2:2 10-bit workflows, and automatic scaling to USB-compatible rasters. The device operates as a UVC/UAC endpoint so no third-party drivers are necessary and it integrates with a wide range of creative and streaming applications. It supports HD frame rates including progressive, interlaced and PsF formats.
Technical performance covers HD formats to 1920x1080p 60 and SD formats including 625i and 525i. Capture is delivered as 16-bits per pixel YUV with audio captured at 2-channel 16-bit 48 kHz after truncation from embedded 24-bit SDI audio. The U-TAP supports high frame rate HD up to 1080p 60 and scaled USB frame rates down to 7.5 fps for lower bandwidth uses.
Connectivity is straightforward with one BNC 3G-SDI input, one BNC SDI loop output and a USB 3.0 Type-A interface that is UVC/UAC compliant. The unit is compatible with USB 3.0 SuperSpeed hosts and also works on USB 2.0 though higher performance requires USB 3.0 or better. Supported operating systems include macOS, Windows and Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and Rocky.
Typical applications include live streaming, field capture, remote production feeds, monitoring and content ingest for editing systems. The SDI loop output allows monitoring or routing to other gear while simultaneously feeding a computer. Its pocketable size and bus power make it useful for mobile crews, quick installs and remote shoots.
The U-TAP SDI is built to be rugged and silent with no fans or moving parts and ships with a three year warranty. Setup is plug and play with automatic scaling and aspect ratio conformity based on host application requirements. This combination of compact form factor, broad OS support and SDI looping makes it a practical capture solution for AV professionals and content creators.
