Four-channel 3G-SDI capture on an M.2 card — high-density in compact form.
Ask us a quick question about this product — signal compatibility, use case fit, or anything technical. We usually reply the same day.
The Eco Capture Quad SDI M.2 fits four independent 3G-SDI capture channels onto a single M.2 2280 module. For density per slot it is unmatched — a single M.2 slot delivers four full broadcast SDI ingests, each with its own FPGA processing path.
This is the card to specify when you need a four-camera live production capability in a chassis too small for a full-size capture card. We see it in fly-pack production systems for sports, school esports facilities running multi-camera streams, and PTZ-camera installations in venues where the production PC is hidden in an AV rack with no PCIe expansion.
Each of the four channels supports the full 3G/HD/SD-SDI range and runs independently, so cameras at different formats can be mixed in the same production without compromise.

The Eco Capture Quad 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 Quad SDI M.2 accepts 4x 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 Quad SDI M.2 works with DirectShow (Windows) and V4L2 (Linux) compatible software, including OBS Studio, vMix, Wirecast and Magewell Capture Express.
