Geekworm X1300 HDMI to CSI-2 Shield for Raspberry Pi 5

Description

The Geekworm X1300 HDMI to CSI-2 Shield is an advanced interface module engineered to expand the video input capabilities of the Raspberry Pi 5. Built around the robust Toshiba TC358743XBG bridge chip, this compact shield facilitates the conversion of standard HDMI signals into the MIPI CSI-2 format, which the Raspberry Pi’s camera interface can readily process. This enables developers and makers to integrate external HDMI video sources, such as cameras, media players, or industrial equipment, directly into their Raspberry Pi 5 projects.

With support for video formats up to 1080P at 60 frames per second, the X1300 delivers high-quality video streaming and capture for various multimedia and vision-based applications. It leverages a 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 interface, with each lane capable of transferring data at up to 1 Gbps, ensuring efficient and high-bandwidth data transmission. The shield’s design also considers audio integration, allowing for HDMI audio input and transmission over I2S, making it suitable for projects requiring both video and synchronized audio capture.

Its ultra-compact form factor (30 x 37.5 mm) ensures easy mounting directly onto the Raspberry Pi 5, preserving its small footprint and facilitating integration into custom enclosures. The X1300 is an essential accessory for developing custom camera solutions, video surveillance systems, digital signage, or any application where an external HDMI video source needs to be interfaced with the Raspberry Pi 5’s powerful processing capabilities.
