Geekworm X630 V1.5 Video Input to CSI-2 Module TC358743 Bridge Supports up to 1080p/25Fps Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4B/3B+/3B/3A+/Pi Zero/Zero W/Zero 2W

Worked well with my Pi Zero W2 project, and came with two ribbons: one smaller on one end (for the Pi Zero) and one with same size on both ends. The included screws and spacers are a nice addition, I used them to screw it together with the Pi board which makes it easier to handle. Exactly what I needed.

It just works.

While a little on the expensive side, the hdmi capture board did what it was supposed to do. It's now connected to a KVM box (pikvm.org) and doing a great job.I would recommend this for anyone wishing to build a low-cost KVM device for their remote computer system

I bought this for a pikvm project to hook up to my hackintosh computer. It uses a 1920x1200 apple studio display. I am using linux on the target machine, and used xrandr to for 1920x1200@24hz, and I am able to mirror the outputs now. Awesome!!

Review of Geekworm HDMI to CSI-2 Capture Module for Raspberry PiPros:Potentially offers a direct way to capture HDMI video into a Raspberry Pi using the CSI-2 interface.Cons:Compatibility Issues: Despite claims, there are significant challenges in getting the module to work seamlessly with Raspberry Pi OS. Users have reported problems with recognizing the device and capturing video, even after thorough troubleshooting and configuration adjustments.Poor Documentation and Support: Documentation is either lacking or not sufficiently detailed to overcome installation and operational hurdles. Support resources are minimal, which complicates troubleshooting efforts.Software Integration: Common tools like libcamera-still often do not recognize the module, indicating possible issues with drivers or deeper software compatibility.Reliability: There are uncertainties regarding the consistency of performance, with many users unable to get the module to function as advertised.Recommendation:Given the numerous challenges and the high potential for compatibility issues, it is difficult to recommend the Geekworm HDMI to CSI-2 capture module to users looking to integrate HDMI capture capabilities with their Raspberry Pi projects. Those in need of HDMI capture functionality may want to consider alternative solutions that have demonstrated better compatibility and support within the Raspberry Pi ecosystem.For enthusiasts and hobbyists, the appeal of directly capturing HDMI content through the CSI-2 interface is clear, but the current state of the Geekworm module makes it a risky choice. Unless you are prepared for potentially extensive troubleshooting, it may be wise to explore other options or wait for future updates or new products that offer greater reliability and user support.

If you want to use your Raspberry Pi for HDMI capture, this is the only device I'm aware of that will do it. Furthermore you can do some powerful things that would normally require equipment costing many hundreds of dollars. For example, using always-on camera preview and a few lines of Python code you can easily do image flipping, rotation, and rudimentary scaling. Note that you can't adjust color or exposure, and audio is not passed through.I've tried this with a variety of HDMI devices; half of them work perfectly, half of them don't work at all.Things that worked just fine:• GoPro Hero2• Generic no-name HDMI camera• OREI HD-102 1x2 HDMI splitter with a Google Chromecast attached to it (but see below)There's a downside, though. I could not get any of these to work:• Canon 6D, which causes a "PiCameraMMALError: Failed to enable connection: Out of resources" error• Blackmagic ATEM Mini, which produces a scrambled picture• Google Chromecast, because I don't think this device supports HDCP; but it works fine if you strip off the HDCP.This HDMI input module does what I care about (capturing my generic HDMI camera), but it failed at some things that thankfully I didn't need it to do. Your use case may vary so don't be surprised if some HDMI devices don't work with it.

exactly what you need for pikvm with a pi zero 2w because it has the adapter ribbon cable

This board is PERFECT for PiKVM, and works great. Note that if you use a 4 port KVM switch from AliExpress there are known issues with booting the pi with it connected, but that's not a fault of this specific board/module and most likely the underlying chipset or switch itself.Board quality is good, cables included are great quality, packaging was great.
