Product Description
The Magewell Eco Capture Quad SDI M.2 is a four-channel SDI video capture card with an M.2 2280 Type M (PCIe Gen2 x4) host interface. It simultaneously captures SD, HD and 3G-SDI signals through four MMCX connectors at resolutions up to 2048x1080. The integrated cable equalizer extends cable reach to 330m for SD-SDI, 190m for HD-SDI and 150m for 3G-SDI. A full 10-bit 4:4:4 video processing engine delivers approximately 180Mpixels/s of per-pipeline bandwidth, supporting de-interlacing, scaling, color-format conversion and frame-rate conversion, with RGB 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:4:4 and YCbCr 4:2:2 color sampling at 10/12-bit color depth. An on-board 16-position dip switch identifies each card for multi-card installations, and firmware can be upgraded online without a system shutdown with automatic safe-recovery — making it ideal for multi-source recording, broadcast, live switching and education.
