Review on Magewell Eco Capture Quad SDI by Eric Carr

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Customer beware of possible overheating

I have had three of these Magewell M.2 quad core capture cards and have had serious overheating issues with each one. I say "probably" because I'm not sure if the temperature software is working properly, but I have screenshot proof showing 255°F from Magewell's own software. Magewell couldn't help me either, nor could the Intel NUC. Both companies blamed each other and advised me to use a different component instead of both together. I've since bought the RMB equivalent of this 4ch SDI M.2 card, but now I'm having trouble with the onboard audio as well.

Pros
  • Quad 2K capture card
Cons
  • Poor set
