RGB 4:4:4: R/B sub-sampled
Support for Closed Caption via SDK
Video Capture Formats
Support for capture image resolutions up to 2048x1080 pixels
Support for capture frame rates up to 144fps (Actual capture frame rate can be limited by PCIe bandwidth. For the resolution of 1280x1024 and higher, the actual frame rate may be limited by the onboard video processing hardware pixel clock. For example, the maximum frame rate of 1920x1080 resolution can up to 80fps.)
Support for 4:2:0 8-bit capture formats: NV12, I420, YV12
Support for 4:2:2 8-bit capture formats: YUY2, YUYV, UYVY
Support for 4:4:4 8-bit capture formats: V308, IYU2, V408, BGR24, BGR32
More capture formats are supported via SDK
Video Processing Features

Video color format conversion
Auto or manual selection of input color format & quantization range
Auto or manual selection of capture color format, quantization range & saturation range
Support for RGB, YCbCr 601, YCbCr 709, YCbCr 2020 color formats
Support for Limited or Full quantization range
Support for Limited, Full & ‘Extended gamut’ saturation range
Video frame rate conversion
Multiple Cards per System
Support for multiple cards plugged to one system
On-board dip switch to set card number with 16 positions
System hardware device tree will display “01: Eco Capture Dual SDI M.2” when dip switch is set to 0001, and so on
The video and audio device names displayed in your software will include the card number (set by the dip switch)
Multiple Replicated Capture Streams
Unlimited capture streams for any one input channel, but the capture streams should be in the same capture format.
Timestamp & A/V Synchronization
Hardware based 100ns high resolution clock
Audio frames (192 audio samples) & video frames are stamped with hardware clock
Hardware clock can be synchronized across cards (via SDK)

~200MB/s per channel DMA bandwidth in PCIe 1.x system
Support for auto detection of Intel tiled GPU surface
Support for DirectGMA for AMD video adapter chipsets
Support for GPUDirect for Nvidia video adapter chipsets
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
Windows Driver Tweaks
All options can be controlled by three levels of registry key: global level, product level and device level
Video, Audio, Crossbar filter names can be customized via registry keys
Firmware Upgrade
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 power off or system break down occur when the firmware is being upgraded, it will automatically restore to the initial version. This function is only available for firmware version 1.21 and above.
LED Indicator
Status LEDs indicate the working state of each channel:
Pulsing slowly: input signal unlocked
On: input signal locked
Double blinks: memory failed or FPGA configuration failed
