Magewell Eco Capture SDI 4K Plus M.2
6G-SDI 4K capture in M.2 2280 — professional 4K SDI ingest permanently embedded in compact broadcast systems.
- 6G-SDI input in M.2 form factor — 4K UHD at up to 60fps from professional broadcast cameras permanently inside the host
- Supports full SDI range — SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI and 6G-SDI with automatic format detection
- M.2 2280 form factor — inside compact broadcast servers, OB computers and production systems with no external hardware
- Driverless UVC — 4K SDI capture appears as a standard webcam device without drivers on any OS
- Compact alternative to rack-mounted 4K SDI PCIe ingest cards for space-critical installations
- Magewell SDK for embedded 4K SDI capture application and broadcast server development
4K SDI Ingest — Embedded and Invisible
Professional 4K SDI cameras using 6G-SDI output at the highest quality broadcast infrastructure supports. Capturing this quality in compact, embedded format requires the Eco Capture SDI 4K Plus M.2.
By integrating via M.2, the 4K SDI capture becomes part of the computer infrastructure. In broadcast server racks, OB vehicle computers and compact broadcast appliances, internal capture is cleaner, more reliable and more appropriate for permanent professional installations.
6G-SDI on Existing Infrastructure
6G-SDI uses standard BNC connectors and 75-ohm coaxial cable — the same cable as HD-SDI. Existing SDI patch bays and cabling can carry 6G-SDI signals, meaning 4K SDI capture can be added to existing facilities without new infrastructure.
The Eco Capture SDI 4K Plus M.2 is the compact embedded alternative to rack-mounted PCIe 4K SDI cards. For 12G-SDI (the highest SDI standard), see the Eco Capture 12G SDI 4K Plus M.2.
