Overview

C790 is an upgraded version of C779, C790 has made the following upgrades.

Solved the issue of back powering of HDMI IN interface
New added interface to support I2S audio
C790 supports CSI-2 2 lane and 4lane at the same time

Geekworm HDMI to CSI Module Series:

Convert HDMI signal acquisition into CSI signal and I2S audio signal. The maximum capture resolution depends on the HDMI to CSI converter board as well as the Raspberry Pi hardware.

Raspberry Pi hardware are primarily divided into two series, one supporting a maximum of 1080P60Hz and the other supporting a maximum of 1080P50Hz.

Raspberry Pi versions that support up to 1080P60Hz: CM3, CM4, Pi 5B
Raspberry Pi versions that support up to 1080P50Hz: zero, zero2, Pi3B, Pi4B, etc.

User Manual

Due to the absence of hardware encoding on the Pi 5B, the software usage instructions for Pi platforms are currently divided into two sections: Pi 5B configuration and configuration for other Pi platforms.
In platforms such as Zero, Zero 2, Pi 3B, Pi 4B, etc., there is a reference for testing HDMI to CSI module demo： C779-Software or Raspberry pi official forum post
Pi 5B platforms HDMI to CSI module test demo reference： CSI Manual on Pi 5
