The Eco Capture Quad SDI M.2 is a four-channel 2K SDI capture card with connection for a M.2 slot. This Eco card supports video capture for SD/HD/3G/2K SDI signals up to 2048 x 1080 pixels per channel input with embedded audio, and high-frame rate capture up to 144fps. These cards (22x80mm) are designed for small and portable systems that do not have space for full-size PCIe slots.
The Magewell Eco Capture M.2 cards offer high-performance and powerful video capture solutions with low power consumption. The Magewell SDK enables developers to customize the Magewell APIs for lower-latency capture and synchronize channels across multi-channel or even multiple capture cards.
