Magewell maintains its commitment to sustainability with the Eco Capture AIO M.2 card

The Eco Capture AIO M.2 single-channel card Magewell Provides HDMI and SDI interfaces with embedded audio support for flexible input connectivity with “low power consumption.”

The cards Eco Capture of Magewell offer to the integrators of OEM systems and developers a solution high performance video capture with low power consumption in a space-saving form factor. The cost-effective, low-latency devices incorporate a PCIe 2.0 bus interface high speed with a conector M.2 and measure just 22x80mm (0.87x3.15in), making them suitable for incorporation into small, portable or embedded systems where full-size PCIe slots are not available.

The new Eco Capture AIO M.2 can capture a video channel up to 2048x1080 at 60 frames per second through its HDMI input or interface 3G-SDI, with up to eight channels of embedded audio. The BNC connection of the SDI interface can also be configured to accept a analog video signal Composite standard definition to make it compatible with legacy source equipment. This solution joins five existing Eco Capture M.2 cards, which include modelos 4K de single input (HDMI or SDI); models of dual channel that capture HD and 2K video via HDMI or SDI; and a modelo HD/2K Four channels with SDI inputs.

Eco Capture cards are compatible with operating systems Windows y Linux and they admit Native APIs of the operating system, such as DirectShow, DirectKS, V4L2 y ALSA. Video processing based on FPGA provides high-quality up/down/cross-scaling, picture controls, and color space conversion without overloading the host system's CPU. Magewell has also enabled a completo SDK which allows developers to directly access all features of the cards.

James Liu, vice president of engineering at Magewell, is confident in the success of the brand's latest solution, which can be seen live for the first time at NAB 2023: “Our Eco Capture family continues to be extremely popular for enabling robust and reliable video capture in space-constrained applications. We expect the new Eco Capture AIO M.2 to be especially interesting for OEM partners and third-party solution developers who need a compact, low-power capture card and want to offer their end customers a flexible input connectivity option.”
