About this product
The Pro Capture Mini HDMI brings full Pro Capture functionality to a mini PCIe footprint — the slot type used in industrial PCs, digital signage players, embedded broadcast appliances, and compact rugged computers.
For OEM integrators this is the bridge between Magewell's broadcast-grade capture engineering and the small chassis they need to ship. The card runs the same FPGA pipeline, same drivers and same software compatibility as the full-size Pro Capture HDMI card — just in a smaller form factor.
Common deployments include digital signage players capturing live HDMI feeds, embedded streaming encoders mounted at the camera position, and industrial computers capturing from medical or scientific HDMI equipment. The mini PCIe slot was specifically chosen because it remains the dominant expansion option in compact embedded computers.
