Magewell Eco Capture HDMI 4K M.2 - M.2 Capture Card / HDMI / 4K / JST SHD Connector

Key features

• HDMI input up to DCI 4K (4096×2160) with embedded audio
• JST SHD connector with SHD-to-HDMI cable
• M.2 2280 form factor, suitable for 24/7 operation
• Hardware scaling, timestamp and colour conversion
• Low power consumption (approx. 3.75 W)

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.

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 4K60 (see the Eco Capture HDMI 4K Plus M.2) and no loop-through. Mind the connector type: JST and FPC use different cables.
