The Eco Capture HDMI 4K Plus M.2 is a Single channel 4Kp60 + embedded audio capture card with connection for a M.2 slot. This Eco card supports video capture for a HDMI signal up to 4096x2160, frame rates up to 240fps. 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.

- Captures one-channel HDMI + embedded audio
- High throughout for capture and supports higher frame rates
- M.2 2280 standard size for small or portable systems
