Magewell Eco Capture HDMI 4K M.2 slots onto a 22 × 80 mm M.2 2280 PCIe Gen2 x4 connector, routing pristine UHD into workstations, mobile recorders or blade servers. The single-channel board accepts one HDMI 1.4 feed with embedded 8-channel LPCM and handles frames up to 4096 × 2160 30 fps (DCI 4K) after smart EDID negotiation and adaptive equalisation for cables to 10 m. It reaches 144 fps, ideal for e-sport slow-motion or laboratory photometrics.

Behind the input, the FPGA-driven video engine moves ~360 Mpixels/s. It writes through SG-DMA low-latency paths, sustaining 1.2 GB/s on PCIe 2.x hosts, and can publish multiple replicated streams so editors, graphics and encoders receive identical live feeds simultaneously. Uncompressed audio is delivered as IEC 60958/IEC 61937 packets. RGB or YCbCr 4:4:4/4:2:2/4:2:0, 8-bit depth plus 12-bit YUV pass-through maintain full colour science while selectable limited/full/extended ranges preserve broadcast compliance.

Hardware modules such as weave/blend de-interlacing, programmable scaling and real-time rate conversion offload CPUs. A 100 ns precision clock stamps every frame; dip-switchable IDs guarantee deterministic sync across up to sixteen cards in a chassis. Certified drivers for Windows 7-11, Ubuntu, CentOS and Jetson plus an open SDK ensure fast deployment in automation, cloud or containerised workflows.

Built for 24/7 duty, the card draws just 3.75 W at 3.3 V, operates between 0 – 40 °C and withstands storage down to –20 °C. The package includes an FPC ribbon, HDMI type-A adapter and status LED for on-site diagnostics, while field-upgradeable firmware avoids downtime. Whether equipping a replay server, cloud transcoder or compact OB van, Eco Capture HDMI 4K M.2 delivers studio-grade UHD capture in a space- and energy-efficient form factor.

The Eco Capture Dual HDMI 4K M.2 is a one-channel 4K HDMI capture card with connection for a M.2 slot. This Eco card supports video capture for one HDMI signal up to 4096×2160 pixels 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.

- Single channel 4k capture card
- HDMI + embedded audio

How to connect Magewell Eco Capture cards?
The Magewell Eco CaptureHDMI 4k M.2 supports one HDMI input which can be connected via the included FPC to HDMI type A2 adapter. Open the metal slot of the adapter, insert the ribbon cable, and lock it. Then insert the ribbon cable into the Eco Capture Dual HDMI M.2 card (with the metal part of the cable facing upwards).
