Magewell Eco Capture 12G SDI 4K Plus M.2
12G-SDI 4K capture in M.2 2280 — the highest SDI standard permanently embedded in compact broadcast infrastructure.
- 12G-SDI input in M.2 form factor — the highest SDI standard (SMPTE 2082), 4K UHD at 60fps, permanently inside a compact host system
- Supports the complete SDI format range — SD-SDI through to 12G-SDI with automatic detection for maximum infrastructure compatibility
- M.2 2280 form factor — permanently integrated in the most demanding compact broadcast server and production computer applications
- Driverless UVC — 12G-SDI 4K capture appears as a standard webcam on any OS without driver installation
- Used in the highest-specification compact broadcast infrastructure including 12G-SDI cameras from Sony, Panasonic and Grass Valley
- Magewell SDK for highest-specification embedded 4K SDI ingest application and broadcast platform development
12G-SDI — The Highest SDI Standard in M.2
12G-SDI (SMPTE 2082) carries 4K UHD at 60fps on a single BNC cable at 12Gbps — the highest bandwidth SDI standard in professional broadcast use. The Eco Capture 12G SDI 4K Plus M.2 captures this at full 4K60 quality inside a compact M.2 form factor.
Professional cameras at this SDI level — Sony VENICE 2, Arri Alexa 35, professional PTZ cameras — represent the highest tier of broadcast acquisition. Having this capability permanently embedded inside a compact computer platform is what this card provides.
Compact Infrastructure for Top-Specification Systems
The compact M.2 form factor brings 12G-SDI ingest capability inside host platforms that could not accommodate traditional PCIe cards — portable broadcast servers, compact OB vehicle auxiliary computers and space-constrained rack infrastructure.
This is the definitive embedded SDI capture solution for installations specifying the highest SDI standard. It accepts 12G-SDI from the most demanding professional cameras while remaining fully backward-compatible with all lower SDI formats on the same installation.
