The Eco Capture Dual HDMI M.2 Two-Channel 2K Capture Card from Magewell supports two HDMI input sources simultaneously and allows you to capture up to 2048 x 2160 resolution with embedded audio from each source to your computer. Featuring an M.2 (PCIe 2.0) computer interface, this card provides the flexibility to be used in compact/thin tablet computers and other small form factor PCs where PCIe slots may be at a minimum. It's compatible with Windows and Linux operating systems and is capable of operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, while an LED indicator confirms the working state of the input the entire time (idle, input signal locked, memory failed, or FPGA configuration).
The Eco Capture Dual HDMI M.2 Card also offers many processing and other features, including resolution scaling and a high-fidelity pipeline. The card has two native FPC input connectors and comes with two matching FPC to HDMI type A adapters and two FPC ribbon cables for connecting your HDMI signals.
