Connecting PCIe capture card to Jetson Nano

Can I connect PCIe capture card to M.2 Key-E with PCIe x1 slot for capturing 4K Video? How can I connect the PCI express card shown in the link to the Nano board?

It’s seem that the radiator is a bit thick. maybe no enough space to install it

Is there any extender that could be used for this purpose and can the port handle 4K video capture@30FPS?

Hi Dronzer,

Here’s an extender cable made for M.2 Key E: [url]Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more - Newegg.com

It isn’t explicitly stated for that M.2 HDMI capture card which M.2 Key profile it works with. I would contact the manufacturer and ask what is supported.

There isn’t many M.2 Key E adapters available, but here is one that converts to Mini PCIe:

You could in theory use it with a Mini PCIe HDMI capture card like this one:

Does this fit into PCIe key of Jetson Nano and can I connect an external PCIe express capture card to capture 4K video without lag? Currently, Jetson Nano 4K videos lag.

I realize this M2 SSD board is 3.5x’s the price of the nano, but will it work with the nano?

Hello Dronzer,

Did you succeed to connect your capteure card to the Nano through the PCI express interface?

Thanks

No, Nano doesn’t seem to work for PCIe x4.
