About this product
The Eco Capture Dual SDI M.2 provides two independent 3G-SDI capture channels in an M.2 2280 footprint, with full backward compatibility for HD-SDI and SD-SDI feeds. It is the SDI counterpart to the Dual HDMI M.2 and aimed at broadcast and live-production integrators who need SDI ingest in a small chassis.
Typical deployments include compact streaming encoders mounted at the camera position, OB-truck workstations where chassis space is at a premium, and embedded recorders in fly-pack production kits. Because each channel has its own FPGA path, mixed-resolution capture is supported — one camera at 1080p59.94 and another at 1080i50 can be ingested simultaneously without negotiation.
The card uses MCC breakout cables to bring the SDI BNC connectors out of the chassis. We can advise on bracket and cable options when you order — some integrators prefer panel-mount BNCs, others prefer pigtail cables.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Eco Capture Dual SDI M.2 uses an M.2 slot. Check your motherboard manual for available M.2 slots — Eco Capture M.2 cards use the PCIe lanes on the M.2 connector, not SATA, so the slot must support M.2 PCIe.
Yes. Download the Magewell Eco Capture driver from Magewell's website (free). It supports Windows 10/11 and recent Linux kernels. macOS is not currently supported for Eco Capture M.2 cards.
The Eco Capture Dual SDI M.2 accepts 2x 3G/HD/SD-SDI.
Yes, multiple Eco Capture M.2 cards can be installed in the same system provided there are available M.2 PCIe slots. Each card is independently addressable.
The Eco Capture Dual SDI M.2 works with DirectShow (Windows) and V4L2 (Linux) compatible software, including OBS Studio, vMix, Wirecast and Magewell Capture Express.
