Description
Magewell Eco Capture Dual SDI M.2
The Magewell Eco Capture Dual SDI M.2 is a compact, energy-efficient dual-channel SDI capture card designed for embedded systems and space-restricted environments. Using the M.2 2280 (M-key) interface, this powerful card captures two independent SDI signals simultaneously—supporting SD, HD, and 3G-SDI formats—making it ideal for OEM devices, medical imaging, industrial systems, portable recorders, and multi-camera workflows.
Dual Independent SDI Capture
With two separate SDI inputs, the Eco Capture Dual SDI M.2 captures up to 1080p60 per channel, offering clean, reliable acquisition from cameras, switchers, medical devices, surveillance systems, or broadcast equipment. Each channel has its own processing pipeline for maximum flexibility.
Ultra-Compact M.2 Form Factor
Built for modern embedded designs, this M.2 2280 card provides professional SDI capture in an incredibly small footprint. It fits perfectly into mini-PCs, micro-servers, industrial controllers, and OEM hardware where PCIe slots are not available.
Efficient, Low-Power Design
Part of Magewell’s Eco Capture series, this model minimizes heat output and power consumption—essential for fan-limited, tightly integrated, or mobile installations operating continuously.
Advanced On-Board Image Processing
Magewell’s hardware engine performs scaling, cropping, color conversion, and de-interlacing on the card itself. This offloads the CPU and ensures smooth, stable dual-channel capture even in compact or low-power systems.
Excellent Software & OS Compatibility
The card supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, and integrates seamlessly with professional applications such as OBS Studio, vMix, Wirecast, Zoom, Teams, VLC, and custom OEM software.
