- High definition version of PiCapture
- Captures high-definition progressive video
- Compatible with the HAT form factor
- Power is provided through the Raspberry Pi
The PiCapture HD1 Raspberry Pi Video Capture HAT is the high definition version of PiCapture, a unique video capture solution that enables all of the video processing capability of the Raspberry Pi Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). PiCapture HD1 captures high-definition progressive video from digital (HDMI/DVI), analog (YPbPr Component), and Computer (RGB) sources at 480p, 720p, and 1080p resolutions. Power is provided through the Raspberry Pi, with a standard 5V AC Adapter. Pass-through connection headers are provided for the I/O headers so that additional devices may be attached.
By using the Raspberry Pi CSI-2 camera interface and providing complete camera emulation, all of the video encoding and management capabilities of the Raspberry Pi are usable with any compatible video source. In addition, applications that require large amounts of Raspberry Pi resources (e.g. real-time image processing) are now enabled since USB capture devices are not required. The PiCapture board is compatible with the HAT form factor and plugs directly into I/O headers of the Raspberry Pi. Standoffs and screws are supplied for securely mounting to the PiCapture to the Raspberry Pi as shown above. A ribbon cable connects to the CSI-2 camera interface.
