More capture formats are supported via SDK

Support for multiple cards plugged into one system
On-board 16 positions DIP switch to set card number
System hardware device tree will display “01: Eco Capture QL-SDI 4K M.2” when DIP switch is set to 1, and so on
The video and audio device names displayed in your software will include the card number (set by the DIP switch)

Unlimited capture streams for any one input channel, but the capture streams should be in the same capture format.

Hardware based 100ns high resolution clock
Audio frames (192 audio samples) & video frames are stamped with the hardware clock
Hardware clock can be synchronized across cards (via the SDK)

Magewell Capture SDK for DirectShow (Windows) or V4L2 (Linux) for easy integration
Magewell Capture SDK for DirectKS (Windows) or ioctl (Linux) for maximum flexibility & performance

All options can be controlled by three levels of registry key: global level, product level and device level
Video, Audio and Crossbar filter names can be customized via registry keys

Multiple cards in one system can be upgraded simultaneously
Cards can be upgraded without a system power shutdown (In most cases, even a reboot is not needed)
Safe upgrade. If a power-off or system breakdown occurs when the firmware is being upgraded, it will automatically revert to the initial version.

Status LEDs indicate the working state of each channel:
- Pulsing slowly: idle
- On: input signal locked
- Off: input signal unlocked
- Double blinks: memory failed or FPGA configuration failed
