Magewell Eco Capture HDMI 4K M.2
4K HDMI capture in M.2 2280 — professional 4K ingest permanently embedded in compact professional systems.
- HDMI 2.0 4K input — captures up to 3840×2160 @ 60fps permanently inside a compact embedded or mini-PC
- M.2 2280 form factor — occupies one M.2 PCIe slot, freeing all USB ports and eliminating external hardware
- Driverless UVC — appears as a standard 4K webcam without drivers on Windows, macOS and Linux
- No USB required for 4K — PCIe bandwidth inside the machine handles full 4K without consuming USB ports
- Ideal for permanent 4K lecture capture, 4K medical recording and 4K fixed installation capture systems
- Magewell SDK for embedded 4K application and 4K capture pipeline development on compact hardware
4K Capture Inside Your System
The Eco Capture HDMI 4K M.2 brings 4K HDMI 2.0 capture inside the host via M.2 PCIe — no external hardware, no USB ports consumed, no visible peripherals. In fixed professional installations this distinction matters: internal capture is part of the computer infrastructure, not an afterthought.
As 4K cameras become standard across lecture theatres, medical facilities and broadcast environments, the need for permanently integrated 4K capture in compact systems has grown proportionally.
Where M.2 Wins Over USB
External 4K USB capture adds cable management, occupies USB ports and creates accidental disconnection risk. In a lecture theatre PC bolted inside an AV rack, or a medical capture computer mounted on a trolley, the Eco Capture HDMI 4K M.2 provides the same 4K capability with none of these drawbacks.
The HDMI 2.0 input handles 4K UHD (3840×2160) at up to 60fps — the full resolution and frame rate of professional 4K cameras, with no quality compromise.

The Eco Capture HDMI 4K M.2 is specified for permanent 4K capture integrations where external USB hardware is impractical.
4K Lecture Theatre Permanent Capture
Universities specifying 4K lecture capture can permanently integrate 4K capture inside the lecture room PC — feeding Panopto, Kaltura or Echo360 at full 4K resolution with no external devices.
4K Medical Procedure Recording
Medical facilities integrating 4K capture in procedure rooms can permanently install inside the embedded recording computer — no external devices that could be disconnected during critical procedures.
4K Industrial Machine Vision
Machine vision systems requiring 4K HDMI capture for dimensional analysis and defect detection can integrate permanently inside compact industrial PCs.
4K Simulation & Testing Systems
Flight simulators, automotive testing rigs and training systems with 4K displays can capture output permanently inside the simulation computer.
4K Kiosk & Interactive Installations
Kiosks and visitor centre exhibits with 4K cameras can integrate capture inside the kiosk embedded computer.
4K Control Room Screen Capture
Trading rooms, NOCs and control rooms can capture specific 4K screen outputs permanently inside workstations for compliance and incident review.
4K Scientific Instrument Recording
High-resolution scientific imaging systems outputting 4K HDMI can permanently integrate capture inside the instrument analysis computer.
Embedded 4K Platform Development
Developers building 4K capture appliances, 4K ingest servers and 4K monitoring systems use the HDMI 4K M.2 as the capture engine inside custom compact hardware.
4K Fixed Production Stations
Professional content creation studios where a permanently mounted mini-PC receives 4K camera output benefit from integrated capture with no external devices on the desk.
