Magewell Eco Capture 2-Channel Dual HDMI 2K M.2 Capture Card

Designed for use in small and embedded systems where full-sized PCIe slots are unavailable or impractical, the Eco Capture family of cards complements Magewell's flagship Pro Capture series by offering OEMs and systems integrators a compact capture solution with low power consumption for space-limited applications.Low Power ConsumptionThe power consumption of the Eco Capture cards is 30% to 70% lower (depending on model) than Magewell's Pro Capture cards with similar input signal connectivity.The products with low power consumption will make it les challenging when users design the heat dissipation system for the chassis.High-Quality Video Processing• Video processing functions including up/down-scaling, image control and color space conversion are performed by FPGA with zero impact on CPU usage• De-interlacing and frame rate conversion provided by driver or third-party softwareMultiple Replicated Capture StreamsStream replication enables each input channel to be delivered to multiple software applications simultaneously with identical capture parameters, enabling concurrent functionality such as encoding, recording and preview through distinct tools. The replication function is FPGA-based so causes no extra CPU usage.User-Upgradable Firmware• Optimize or enhance the card without changing the hardware• Users can easily upgrade one or multiple cards simultaneously• Most firmware upgrades are free of chargeTimestamp & A/V Synchronization• Hardware-based 100ns high-resolution clock• Audio frames (192 audio samples) & video frames are stamped with hardware clock• Hardware clock can be synchronized across multiple cards (via SDk)
