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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Geekworm X1300 compatible with older Raspberry Pi models like the Raspberry Pi 4 or Raspberry Pi 3?

No, the X1300 HDMI to CSI-2 Shield is designed exclusively for the Raspberry Pi 5B. It leverages specific hardware interfaces and pinouts found only on the Raspberry Pi 5, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility. It is not compatible with previous Raspberry Pi generations.

What is the maximum video resolution and frame rate supported by this shield?

The X1300 shield supports high-definition video input up to 1080P (1920x1080 pixels) at a smooth frame rate of 60 frames per second. This capability is facilitated by the integrated Toshiba TC358743XBG bridge chip, ensuring clear and fluid video capture for various applications.

How does the X1300 handle audio input from the HDMI source?

The shield supports HDMI audio input and transmission over the I2S protocol. To fully utilize this feature and capture HDMI audio, additional wiring or the dedicated X1300-A2 accessory board is required. This allows for synchronized audio and video capture in your projects.

What is the function of the Toshiba TC358743XBG bridge chip on the X1300?

The Toshiba TC358743XBG is a crucial HDMI to MIPI CSI-2 bridge chip. Its primary function is to convert the incoming HDMI video and audio signals into the MIPI CSI-2 format, which the Raspberry Pi 5's camera interface can directly interpret and process. This enables seamless integration of external HDMI sources.

What type of connector does the X1300 use to interface with the Raspberry Pi 5?

The X1300 utilizes a 22-pin FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) connector with a 0.5mm pitch for its MIPI CSI-2 interface. This connector directly plugs into the corresponding CSI-2 port on the Raspberry Pi 5B, establishing a high-speed data link for video transmission.
