Magewell Eco Capture Quad SDI M.2 (11540) is a slim, 4-channel SDI capture card for space-limited workstations, fly-packs and broadcast trucks. The M.2 2280 PCIe Gen2 x4 module ingests four independent SD/HD/3G/2K-SDI feeds via rugged MMCX connectors, converting them to uncompressed 10-bit 4:4:4 video with frame-accurate embedded audio. Hardware time-stamping guarantees phase-locked A/V throughout marathon live streams. Designed for 24/7 duty cycles, the board operates flawlessly between 0–40 °C at 5–90 % relative humidity.

An integrated equaliser drives cables up to 330 m (SD-SDI), 190 m (HD-SDI) and 150 m (3 G-SDI), letting cameras roam far from the server. Each input accepts resolutions to 2048 × 1080 (1920 × 1080 the board sustains 80 fps), ideal for sports replay and virtual production. Colour integrity stays intact with RGB or YCbCr 4:4:4/4:2:2 sampling, while automatic format detection accelerates setup on mixed-vendor stages.

The on-board engine processes ~180 Mpixels/s for real-time scaling, de-interlacing and frame-rate conversion, offloading the CPU. Unlimited replicated streams mean one source can simultaneously supply monitoring, ISO-record, social-media and cloud-transcode tasks. Low-latency SG-DMA hits 400 MB/s per channel, and DirectGMA/GPUDirect pathways keep GPU pipelines fluent. Typical power draw is a modest 7.16 W, easing thermal budgets in compact chassis.

Unified drivers expose DirectShow, V4L2 and ALSA interfaces, so OBS, vMix or Adobe Premiere recognise the card instantly. A 16-position DIP switch simplifies multi-card management; three-colour LEDs show lock status at a glance. The kit ships with four 32 cm MMCX-to-BNC cables, ready for rack or edge deployment in studios, e-sports arenas or remote OB vans, where Magewell reliability is indispensable.

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.

- Captures SD/HD/3G/2K SDI x 4 + embedded audio

How to connect Magewell Eco Capture cards?
The Magewell Eco Capture Quad SDI M.2 supports four SD/HD/3G/2K SDI inputs which can be connected via the included MMCX to SDI breakout cables.
