Magewell Eco Capture 12G-SDI 4K Plus M.2
M.2 capture card met 4K60 12G-SDI en quad-link 3G-SDI voor compacte systemen
Capture single-link 12G-SDI or quad-link 3G-SDI signals with embedded audio directly into an M.2 2280 slot using the Magewell Eco Capture 12G-SDI 4K Plus M.2 single-channel 4Kp60 video capture card. Built for AV professionals and integrators requiring high-grade video ingestion in compact or portable systems, it provides reliable recording and streaming without a full-size PCIe slot.
Imagine a dynamic live event where your control rig must stay minimal for fast setup and transport. Traditional server racks filled with full-size cards add unnecessary weight and bulk. By fitting this M.2 card directly onto a compact PC motherboard, you add robust 12G-SDI inputs without expanding your system footprint. Your operator plugs the main camera directly into the compact switcher, running control software smoothly while processing the 4K feed locally with maximum stability.
Is this capture card right for your workflow?
Choose this product when
You build or integrate portable systems that require 12G-SDI or quad-link 3G-SDI capture up to 4K60 via an M.2 2280 slot.
Consider an alternative when
Your host system has room for standard PCIe expansion cards, or if your infrastructure relies on HDMI.
Suitable applications
Ideal for hardware video encoding, high-resolution streaming, and local recording in software like OBS, vMix, Wirecast, and VLC Media Player.
Unsuitable applications
This card is unsuitable for computer systems without a physical M.2 2280 Type M slot on the motherboard.
