Designed for use in small and embedded systems where full-sized PCIe slots are unavailable or impractical, the Magewell 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..
The power consumption of the Magewell 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 less challenging when users design the heat dissipation system for the chassis.
Superb OS and API Compatibility
M.2 Eco Capture models are available with drivers for Windows and Linux operating systems, and support x86, x64 & ARM architectures. The devices support OS-native capture APIs, while our SDK provides custom Magewell APIs that enable developers to achieve lower-latency capture and synchronize channels across multi-channel or even multiple capture cards.
Flexible Input Interfaces
Eco Capture cards can capture up to four HD signals or one 4Kp60 signal, supporting HDMI, 3G-SDI, quad-link 3G-SDI and single-link 12G-SDI input. All models support up to eight channels of embedded audio per input.

Users can use the OS and software they are familiar with to ensure high efficiency. COMPATIBILITY OF MULTIPLE OPERATING SYSTEMS Support Windows, Linux. Users can choose their favorite OS. Windows 7/8/8.1/10/2008/2008 R2/2012 (x86 & x64). Linux (based on V4L2, support x86, x64 &ARM architecture). FIRMWARE UPDATE Optimize or enhance the performance or add functions to the products without changing the hardware. Users can update the firmware for multiple cards simultaneously by themselves. POWERFUL AND EASY-TO-INTEGRATE SDK Provide various APIs and advanced functions to Windows and Linux professional users. SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY Support operating system native video capture APIs, including DirectShow, DirectKS, V4L2, ALSA and QuickTime. Support DirectSound based audio acquisition interface, extended interface based on IKsPropertySet. Compatible with almost all software based on DirectShow architecture.
Users don’t need to select the input signal format to have it correctly recognized.AUTO-DETECTION OF INPUT SIGNAL When the signal is connected, the card will automatically detect the input signal and link the audio input with the video input. SUPPORT 3D HDMI Support 3 types of 3D HDMI signals: frame packed, top-and-bottom, and side-by-side. TIMECODE Eco Capture cards can analyze the time information (hour, minute, second and frame) in HDMI signal output by Sony/Canon DSLR. CLOSED CAPTION Eco Capture SDI cards support closed caption 608 by enabling this function in the driver filter and show the closed caption in the captured video. They can support closed caption 708 when SDK is used.
FPGA-based video processing, effectively reducing CPU usage.
