KEY ADVANTAGES
Synchronized dual-channel capture in a compact form factor
Dual-Channel Synchronized CaptureTwo Micro-SDI inputs simultaneously capture video formats up to 1080p60 for dual-camera and dual-view workflows.
Compact M.2 DesignThe 80 × 22 mm M.2 M-Key card integrates into space-constrained workstations, embedded hosts, and industrial systems.
On-Board Video ProcessingCapture, format processing, 1080i hardware deinterlacing, and 3D noise reduction run on the card to reduce host CPU workload.
Automatic Signal DetectionThe card detects incoming 3G-SDI / HD-SDI formats and reports signal status to the application for easier configuration.
Embedded SDI AudioCapture embedded audio from both SDI channels and output PCM 48 kHz stereo audio.
Multi-Card ExpansionInstall multiple cards in one host and configure channel numbering in software for larger capture systems.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Dual-Channel Micro-SDI M.2 Capture Card
2 × Micro-SDI · 3G-SDI / HD-SDI · M.2 PCIe
The card provides two Micro-SDI inputs with no video loop-through. It connects through M.2 M-Key PCIe 2.0 x2 and supports common pixel formats and the DirectShow interface for preview, recording, streaming, analytics, and custom application development.
2 × synchronized Micro-SDI video inputs
3G-SDI and HD-SDI up to 1080p60
Capture rate follows the input video format
YUY2, NV12, and XRGB output formats
Embedded audio from both SDI inputs; PCM 48 kHz stereo
VIDEO AND AUDIO CAPABILITIES
Professional SDI ingest with on-board processing
Both inputs support synchronized video workflows. Available formats depend on the source signal, driver, and application configuration.
3G-SDI · Up to 1080p60For full-HD, high-frame-rate sources in medical imaging, studios, industrial cameras, and other professional SDI systems.
HD-SDI · 1080i / 720p and MoreSupports common HD-SDI signals and hardware deinterlacing for 1080i sources to provide progressive video frames.
Dual Embedded AudioExtract embedded audio independently from both SDI inputs and output PCM 48 kHz stereo audio.
