Magewell Eco Capture Dual HDMI M.2 - M.2 Capture Card / 2× HDMI / 2K / FPC Connector / No Heat Sink

Key features

• Two independent HDMI channels with embedded audio
• Up to 2048×2160 per channel
• 2× FPC 20-pin connector with FPC-to-HDMI adapters
• M.2 2280 form factor, suitable for 24/7 operation
• Hardware scaling, timestamp and colour conversion

How it works

The Eco card mounts directly in an M.2 2280 slot (M-key, PCIe) on the motherboard. The input connectors sit on the card itself and are brought out with the included cable or adapter. Scaling, deinterlacing and colour conversion are done in hardware on the card, offloading the processor. Under Windows and Linux the card appears as a standard capture device. This version ships without a heat sink and is intended for systems with their own cooling solution, for example cooling via the enclosure.

Applications

Compact and embedded systems: mini PCs, edge computers, medical equipment, kiosks, encoders and other OEM applications with no room for a PCIe card.

Limitations

No 4K and no loop-through. Mind the connector type: the JST and FPC versions use different cables and adapters. HDCP-protected sources cannot be captured.
