Overview

[Update]: X630 V1.5 is released on Dec. 2022;

V1.5 has the following updates based on V1.3

  • Fixed HDMI back powering issue.
  • Remove the software reset. (Since there is no usage scenario and the product is more complex, pikvm does not need software reset etc.)
 

The X630 hdmi to csi module is a bridge module that converts HDMI stream to MIPI CSI-2, which enables your Raspberry Pi to accept HDMI video and audio streams and process them as incoming data source.

 

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.

FAQ

Notes & Known Issues

First, we recommend that you read Raspberry Pi camera applications document

(1) If using GStreamer or PiKVM, please change to Hardware reset mode. Otherwise, the X630 won't be detected and there will be no video.

(2) An accessory board (X630-A2) for audio capturing & reset is available now.

(3) Currently the software reset mode can only support RASPISTILL or RASPIVID.

(4) If GStreamer is installed in Raspberry Pi OS, RASPISTILL & RASPIVID are no longer worked.


Q: How Do I Know if My Raspberry Pi Camera is Working? (X630 is actually a CAMERA device)

A: Refer to https://raspberrytips.com/troubleshooting-camera-module/


Q: What to do if there is no video output?

A: 1. When use the PI-KVM, please set the dip switches at the back of X630 to HW mode(Hardware reset mode). Pull the HW switch to 1 and pull the SW switch to 0.(Our default mode is HW mode.) Please set the switches at power off status. (For PiKVM usage, you will need to turn off SW reset DIP switch and turn on HW reset DIP switch prior to connecting the CSI cable to your Pi4.)

2. Software reset uses GPIO 509 to reset operation through GPIO. Please refer to wiki: X630-Software


Q: Which connector model is compatible with 10pin functional connector?

A: It is SH1.0 10Pin connector.


Q: Does the X630 support to work with Octoprint?

A: No, the X630 is not tested with Octoprint. It is recommended to choose hardware reset to test and ensure that the video input by X630 must be 1080p or 720p, which cannot be converted higher than 1080P.


Q: 1080p 60Hz HDMI to CSI-2 via TC358743 ?

A: Please refer to: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=211802&sid=e6fef431928907e63fc8eb539cd75389 for reference.

Does the X630-A2 audio board work with PiKVM V2 DIY (using X630 and X630-C1 case)? Is any additional configuration required like on PiKVM-A3 or should this just work with pikvm without additional configuration?

Thanks for the reply Walker - I'll try those 779 instructions again, but no success in past efforts.

Since the X630-X2 is a board to pass Audio in to the I2C connection, a guide on activating the I2C audio input on the Raspberry Pi would be most appreciated.
