Professional 4K60 SDI Capture
This card supports up to 4096×2160 / 3840×2160 at 60fps through a single SDI input, ensuring crisp, detailed, and color-accurate UHD capture. It is compatible with SD, HD, 3G-SDI, and 6G/12G-SDI signals depending on source configuration, making it highly versatile across broadcast and professional environments.
Ultra-Compact M.2 2280 Form Factor
Designed for embedded PCs, custom OEM devices, mini-workstations, and portable encoders, the M.2 2280 format provides top-tier 4K capture performance without the space demands of full-size PCIe cards.
Low-Power, High-Efficiency Architecture
Part of Magewell’s Eco Capture series, the card is optimized for low power consumption and minimal heat output—perfect for tightly enclosed systems, fanless computers, and always-on devices.
Advanced On-Board Processing
Magewell’s hardware processing engine performs scaling, cropping, de-interlacing, and color-space conversion directly on the card. This reduces CPU usage and ensures smooth, stable performance even in compact or low-power systems.
Ultra-Low Latency
The card delivers responsive, real-time performance ideal for medical visualization, industrial inspection, live preview, monitoring applications, and other latency-sensitive workflows.
Wide OS & Software Compatibility
Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, the card integrates seamlessly with OBS Studio, vMix, Wirecast, Zoom, Teams, VLC, and custom OEM applications.
