Description
Product Overview
The Magewell Eco Capture Dual SDI M.2 is a compact two-channel 2K SDI capture card designed for embedded, OEM, and space-constrained professional video systems. Two MMCX inputs capture SD, HD, 3G, and 2K SDI signals with embedded audio, while the M.2 2280 Type M interface connects through PCIe Gen2 x2. Hardware video processing, SG-DMA, and replicated capture streams make it a versatile solution for broadcast, streaming, recording, and custom integration.
Dual-Channel 2K SDI Capture
Two independent SDI inputs allow simultaneous capture from two professional video sources. Input and capture resolutions are supported up to 2048×1080 pixels. This gives compact systems two-channel professional SDI ingest from a single internal capture device.
SD HD 3G and 2K SDI Support
Each MMCX input supports SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, and 2K SDI sources. Supported standards include 3G Level A and multiple Level B formats. Automatic input signal detection simplifies integration with professional cameras, routers, switchers, and other SDI equipment.
Compact M.2 2280 Type M Design
The capture card uses the compact M.2 2280 standard form factor. Its Type M host connection operates through PCIe Gen2 x2. This design makes dual-channel SDI capture practical in embedded, portable, and high-density professional video systems.
10-Bit Hardware Video Processing
The onboard processing pipeline provides approximately 180 Mpixels/s of processing bandwidth with 10-bit 4:4:4 video processing. Hardware functions include scaling, deinterlacing, color conversion, and frame-rate conversion for flexible capture workflows.
PCIe SG-DMA and GPU Transfer
SG-DMA transfers captured video efficiently through the PCIe interface. Magewell specifies approximately 400 MB/s DMA bandwidth per channel on PCIe 2.x systems. GPU transfer support includes Intel tiled surfaces, AMD DirectGMA, and NVIDIA GPUDirect.
Multiple Replicated Capture Streams
Unlimited replicated capture streams can be created for any one input channel. Replicated streams from that channel use the same capture format. This allows compatible software applications to access the same SDI source simultaneously in multi-application workflows.
