Description

The Geekworm X1301 HDMI to CSI-2 Shield is a purpose-built accessory for Raspberry Pi boards, facilitating the connection of external HDMI devices to the Pi’s camera serial interface. Powered by the Toshiba TC358743XBG bridge chip and an active HDMI splitter, it efficiently converts HDMI signals up to 1080P at 60 frames per second into the MIPI CSI-2 format compatible with the Raspberry Pi.

A standout feature of the X1301 is its HDMI Pass-Through capability. This allows the incoming HDMI signal (audio/video) to be simultaneously outputted to an external TV or projector for local monitoring, even when the Raspberry Pi is in standby mode. This is particularly useful for debugging, live display alongside processing, or integrating with existing home entertainment systems.

Designed for ease of use, the shield is stackable, enabling integration with other HATs. It supports 4 MIPI CSI-2 data lanes at speeds up to 1 Gbps per lane and transmits HDMI audio via I²S. The X1301 also prevents HDMI backpowering to the Raspberry Pi CSI, ensuring system stability, and is compatible with the HAT+ STANDBY power state for the Raspberry Pi 5.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Raspberry Pi models are compatible with the X1301?

The X1301 HDMI to CSI-2 Shield is compatible with Raspberry Pi 5, 4B, 3B+, and 3B models. It includes specific FFC cables for both the Pi 5's 22-pin CSI-2 connector and the older Raspberry Pi models' 15-pin connectors, ensuring broad compatibility across the Raspberry Pi ecosystem.

What is the maximum video resolution and frame rate supported?

The X1301 shield supports video formats up to 2K Full HD (1920x1080) at a smooth 60 frames per second. This allows for high-quality video input from various HDMI sources, making it suitable for applications requiring clear and fluid video feeds for processing or display.

How does the HDMI Pass-Through feature work on the X1301?

The HDMI Pass-Through feature allows the input HDMI signal to be simultaneously outputted to an external display (like a TV or monitor) even when the Raspberry Pi is in standby mode. This is useful for local monitoring of the video source without needing the Pi to be fully active.

What is the purpose of the Toshiba TC358743XBG bridge chip?

The Toshiba TC358743XBG is the key HDMI to CSI-2 bridge chip integrated into the X1301. It converts the incoming HDMI video and audio signals into the MIPI CSI-2 format, which the Raspberry Pi's camera interface can directly process, enabling robust video input capabilities.
