Eco Capture Dual HDMI M.2

Core Functions & Capabilities

• Dual-Channel Acquisition: Simultaneously captures two independent channels of video up to 2048×2160 pixels per channel (supporting 2K and 1080p at up to 60fps).

• M.2 Interface Efficiency: Designed for the M.2 2280 (Type M) slot using PCIe Gen2 x4, allowing for multi-channel HD capture on motherboards and small-form-factor (SFF) PCs that lack traditional PCIe expansion slots.

• Hardware Video Engine: Offloads demanding tasks like scaling, cropping, color space conversion, and de-interlacing to the card’s on-board FPGA, freeing up your computer’s CPU for other processes.

• High-Fidelity Audio: Captures up to 8 channels of embedded HDMI audio per input, ensuring professional-grade sound for complex recording or broadcast setups.

Key Features for Performance

• Ultra-Low Power & Heat: Consumes very little power (maximum ~4.17W), which is essential for maintaining stability in small, enclosed, or fanless environments.

• Reliable 24/7 Operation: Engineered for high-duty cycles, featuring an LED status indicator for each channel to monitor idle, signal lock, or memory status at a glance.

• Multi-Stream Replication: A single HDMI input can be delivered to multiple software applications at the same time (e.g., one for live streaming to YouTube and another for high-bitrate archival recording).

• Customized Connectivity: Uses high-density JST SHD connectors on the card, with two included adapter cables that provide standard HDMI Type A female ports.

Flexibility for Organizations & Domestic Users

• Medical & Surgical Imaging

  • Function: Fits into small medical PCs to capture dual-angle feeds, such as a surgical camera and a patient vitals monitor, for synchronized medical records.

  • Flexibility: Used by healthcare tech providers (like Careprod Technologies) to enable robust, remote medical workflows and tele-surgery training.

• Corporate & Hybrid Meetings

  • Function: Allows a single compact NUC to capture both a primary presenter’s camera and a laptop’s HDMI output for high-quality professional webinars.

  • Flexibility: The USB-C/M.2 integration allows for a “webcam-style” experience in Zoom or Teams while delivering a polished, multi-source production.

• Education & Lecture Capture

  • Function: Simultaneously records a teacher-tracking camera and a document camera or secondary digital whiteboard for a comprehensive online learning experience.

  • Flexibility: Native support for ARM architectures (like NVIDIA Jetson) makes it a favorite for developers building custom, AI-driven educational hardware.

• Small Form Factor (SFF) Gaming & Vlogging

  • Function: Ideal for “Small Form Factor” PC enthusiasts who want to capture two HDMI sources (e.g., a face camera and a gaming console) without needing a large desktop tower.

  • Flexibility: Since it occupies an M.2 slot, domestic creators can keep their primary PCIe slot open for a powerful Graphics Card, enabling high-end gaming and streaming from a tiny PC.

• Digital Signage & Kiosks

  • Function: Powers interactive kiosks that need to ingest two separate video feeds for AI-driven analytics or split-screen public displays.

  • Flexibility: Supports multiple cards in a single host system (set via on-board DIP switches), allowing for 4, 6, or 8 HDMI inputs in a relatively small workstation.
