Magewell Eco Capture SDI 4K Plus M.2 11560

The Magewell Eco Capture SDI 4K Plus M.2 is a compact capture card in the standard M.2 2280 Type M size, designed for small form factor and embedded systems. It captures one SD, HD, 3G, 6G or 12G-SDI input with embedded audio at resolutions up to 4096x2160, with an SDI loop-through on the card. The SDI connections use MMCX connectors, with breakout cables to BNC.

Video processing is handled in hardware (scaling, de-interlacing, colour format and frame rate conversion), and the card works with Windows and Linux drivers and the Magewell SDK. It is compatible with common capture and streaming software such as OBS, vMix, Wirecast, VLC and XSplit, and with Magewell Capture Express, Bridge for NDI and the Plugin for Premiere.
