Yuan SC710N2 M2 HDMI2.0 M.2 HDMI Frame Grabber with 2 x HDMI 2.0 Inputs at 4K60

Compact embedded systems and NVIDIA Jetson builds often need to take in high-resolution video but have no room for a full PCIe card. The SC710N2 M2 HDMI2.0 is Yuan’s two-channel M.2 HDMI frame grabber with HDMI 2.0 inputs, bringing two 4K sources into the host through a single M key socket.

Each HDMI 2.0 input captures up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 or 50 fps, and the card also takes 2560 x 1440 at 144 fps and 1920 x 1080 at up to 240 fps for fast-moving content. In dual-link mode the two inputs combine for 8K30 capture. Colour formats cover 4:4:4 8-bit RGB24 and RGB32, 4:2:2 8-bit YUY2, 4:2:0 8-bit YV12 and NV12, and 4:2:0 10-bit P010, and two stereo embedded audio channels at 16-bit and 32 to 48 kHz stay with the video.

The card connects over M.2 with a PCIe x4 link. On-board processing covers cropping and scaling, auto signal detection and a deinterlace engine, and multi-instance and multi-device support lets software open several streams or cards at once. Yuan provides a Windows and Linux SDK and lists vMix, OBS, Zoom, Teams and Cisco Webex among compatible applications, along with DirectShow and V4L2 software. The SC710N1 M2 HDMI2.0 is the single-input M.2 version, and the SC710N2-L HDMI2.0 puts the same two inputs on a low profile PCIe card.

Operating system support covers Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10, Linux 4.8 or higher in 32-bit and 64-bit builds, Linux on ARM, and NVIDIA Jetson TX2, Nano, AGX Xavier and Xavier NX. The card measures 22 x 80 mm in the M.2 Type M format, so it suits carrier boards and embedded PCs with a free M key socket where a PCIe card would not fit.
