The Eco Capture 12G SDI 4K Plus M.2 is a signle-channel 12G SDI or quad-link 3G SDI + embedded audiocapture card with connection for a M.2 slot. This Eco card supports video capture for SDI signals 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.

- Captures 1-channel single-link 12G SDI or quad-link 3G SDI + embedded audio
- High throughout for capture and supports higher frame rates
- M.2 2280 standard size for small or portable systems

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.
