Can the heat sink or fan be removed from the capture card?

Except that you have better cooling solutions for chips, it's not recommended to remove the heat sink or fan, which will affect the stability of the capture card. You should pay special attention to heat dissipation when using the mini PCIe cards and M.2 cards. Because those cards are generally used for small case, which is more difficult to dissipate heat compared with the normal case.

Are Magewell capture devices hardware compression cards or software compression cards?

Magewell capture devices are software compression cards. What is software compression card? The video is captured by hardware and compressed by software. What is hardware compression card? The video is captured and compressed both by hardware.

Captured video has low frame rate and stuttering problem

1Check if the bandwidth is sufficient enough to transmit the current video stream For USB Capture (Plus) devices, Use USB Capture Utility V3 to view the current USB speed. (USB 3.0 is recommended) Check if the bandwidth required for the video stream exceeds the upper limit of USB bandwidth in the current capture format. For Pro Capture, Eco Capture devices, Use the driver panel of capture card to view the PCIe bandwidth. (PCIe x4 Gen2 is recommended) Check if the bandwidth required for the video stream exceeds the upper limit of the PCIe bandwidth in the current capture format. 2Decrease the encoding parameters set by video capture software 3For Pro Capture and Eco Capture devices, upgrade the firmware to the latest version

Image tearing occurs when I preview captured video from multiple channels

When you preview captured video from multiple channels in the case of the capture color space being set to RGB32, the bandwidth of Eco Capture card will be insufficient, which may result in Image tearing. To solve the problem, please change the capture color space or reduce the number of preview screen.
