The Magewell 11550 Eco Capture SDI 4K Plus M.2 captures one channel of 4K video up to 4096x2160 at full 60 frames per second over quad-link, 3G-SDI connectivity. While recent 4K products often support the transport of Ultra HD video over a single, 12Gb/s SDI connection, a lot of existing equipment still utilizes the earlier quad-link approach in which four separate SDI cables combine to carry one 4K signal. The quad-link Eco Capture QL-SDI 4K M.2 enables integrators and OEM product designers to bring live, 4K content from these sources into their software and systems using the new super fast M.2 connector
M.2 is the current replacement for the mSATA standard. 2280 refers to the size, 22mm by 80mm in length(0.87 x 3.15in). The ultra-compact Eco Capture cards measure just that, 22 x 80mm (0.87 x 3.15in), matching the M.2 2280 size specification.
Please Note: If your PC was made or assembled in the last few years it likely has an M.2 slot. Check your owners manual for specific information. Drivers are available for Windows and Linux operating systems. FPGA-based video processing provides high-quality up/down/cross-scaling, picture controls and color space conversion without tasking the host system CPU.
