The Magewell capture device is the hardware component that converts your SDI video signal from the switcher into a USB signal that the Fanatic Filters laptop can process. It's a small device with an SDI input on one end and a USB output on the other. You connect an SDI cable from your switcher's ME bus output to the Magewell, and then the Magewell connects to the CUE laptop via USB (either USB-A or USB-C, as the device supports both). Once connected, the Magewell will appear as a video source option within the Fanatic Filters application, allowing you to select your live camera feed instead of the laptop's integrated webcam. The Magewell is included in the hardware package CUE ships with the Fanatic Filters laptop.
