What about an HDMI in?

I won’t mind the latency @nrp

This article on Hackaday looks interesting: delete that HDMI Out and I want to believe this will fit in a Framework accessory footprint…

Ah right: same person also have an HDMI Capture-only board as well…

Ooh! That looks just right for a larger expansion card like the ethernet one. Getting a tiny capture card in an expansion card form factor would be a dream.

I found a device from MicroCenter that has the necessary ports, usb c to hdmi in, but it looks a little long. https://www.microcenter.com/product/645805/inland-hdmi-to-usb-a-c-video-capture-dongle

I don’t know if this directly applies or could be adapted to an expansion card format but I thought the announcement might be of interest to some of you:

“eEver Technology, a subsidiary of eTron Technology, has launched the EJ523D 4Kp60 audio and video capture and streaming processor with a USB 3.2 interface, along with a reference platform currently showcased at COMPUTEX 2023.”

Man that chip alone looks bigger than an expansion card but the capabilities do sound nice

Wow, yea. Good luck getting that into an expansion card.

Yeah, perhaps HDMI-IN in an i/o array as an expansion bay.

Dreaming bigger…an expansion bay geared towards media and content i/o:

  • HDMI-IN
  • HDMI-Out
  • audio line in
  • audio out

Or just a mega connectivity expansion bay…caveat, I have no idea on bandwidth constraints. Any/all of these:

  • Dual USB-A
  • Dual USB-C
  • 10Gb ethernet
  • full size SD Card reader
  • HDMI-IN
  • HDMI-Out

I would absolutely pick up one of these before buying a dGPU expansion bay.
