Description
Product Overview
The Magewell Eco Capture HDMI 4K M.2 is a compact single-channel 4K HDMI capture card designed for embedded, OEM, and space-constrained professional video systems. This 11524 version uses an FPC 20-pin input connection for HDMI 1.4 and DVI-D 1.0 sources, while its M.2 2280 Type M host interface operates over PCIe Gen2 x4. With input resolutions up to 4096×2160, hardware video processing, SG-DMA, and multiple replicated capture streams, it provides flexible HDMI ingest for streaming, recording, production, and custom integration.
Single-Channel 4K HDMI Capture
A dedicated HDMI capture channel brings professional video and embedded audio into a compact computing platform. Input resolutions are supported up to 4096×2160 pixels, with the product overview specifying 4K input up to 30fps. The card automatically detects compatible incoming video signal formats.
FPC Connectivity for Part 11524
Part number 11524 uses an FPC 20-pin input socket. Magewell provides an FPC ribbon cable and FPC-to-HDMI Type A adapter for connection to standard HDMI equipment. The input supports both HDMI 1.4 and DVI-D 1.0 signaling.
Compact M.2 2280 Type M Design
The capture card follows the M.2 2280 standard form factor and uses a Type M host connection. PCIe Gen2 x4 provides high-bandwidth connectivity to the host system. The compact format suits embedded, portable, and high-density video platforms.
360 Mpixels/s Hardware Processing
The onboard processing pipeline provides approximately 360 Mpixels/s of video-processing bandwidth. Hardware functions include 8-bit 4:4:4 processing, scaling, deinterlacing, color-format conversion, and frame-rate conversion.
High-Bandwidth PCIe SG-DMA
The M.2 host interface operates through PCIe Gen2 x4 with SG-DMA support. Magewell specifies approximately 1200 MB/s DMA bandwidth per channel in 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 from the input channel. Replicated streams use the same capture format. This allows compatible applications to access the same HDMI source simultaneously in multi-application workflows.
