HDMI Capture Card

The HDMI Capture Card is an early-stage community project aiming to bring a native HDMI capture card into the Framework expansion card form factor¹. Created by TheUnproductive, the design is based on the HDMI2USB open-source platform and provides PCB design files for self-fabrication¹.

Early Stage

The repository explicitly warns that the content is not proven and subject to change without notice, and advises sending to fab at your own risk¹.

Design

The PCB design files are provided as KiCad templates, located in the ExpansionCards/Electrical/KiCad_templates/Expansion_Card_Retrofit folder of the repository¹. The project targets the HDMI2USB standard, an open-source platform commonly used for FPGA-based HDMI capture and streaming devices¹.

As an early-stage design, the schematic and layout should be reviewed carefully before fabrication¹.
