Description
Magewell Eco Capture Quad SDI M.2
The Magewell Eco Capture Quad SDI M.2 is a compact, high-density 4-channel SDI capture card engineered for embedded systems, OEM devices, and space-restricted environments. Using the M.2 2280 (M-key) interface, this powerful card captures four independent SD/HD/3G-SDI signals simultaneously—delivering professional performance with minimal power consumption and heat output.
Four Independent SDI Capture Channels
Featuring four SDI inputs, each with its own dedicated capture pipeline, the Eco Capture Quad SDI M.2 supports up to 1080p60 per channel. This makes it ideal for multi-camera systems, medical imaging, industrial inspection, surveillance, and compact production devices that require high-density SDI ingestion.
Ultra-Compact M.2 2280 Form Factor
Designed for modern embedded and portable systems, the M.2 2280 footprint allows professional SDI capture without the need for bulky PCIe card space. Perfect for mini-PCs, micro-servers, compact workstations, OEM integrations, and fanless devices.
Low-Power Architecture with Efficient Thermals
Part of Magewell’s Eco Capture series, this model consumes minimal power while generating very little heat—making it ideal for tightly enclosed systems, always-on installations, and devices with limited cooling capacity.
Advanced On-Board Image Processing
Magewell’s hardware processing engine performs scaling, cropping, color-space conversion, and de-interlacing directly on the card. This significantly reduces CPU load and ensures smooth performance even during four-channel simultaneous capture.
Wide Software & OS Compatibility
Fully compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, the card integrates smoothly with OBS Studio, vMix, Wirecast, Zoom, Teams, VLC, and OEM software implementations—making it ideal for both integrators and developers.
