Sounds like a fun project, you should build one.
- p1necone 3y agoI did look into it a little bit, I think the reason none exist is because it's actually pretty difficult. Taking in a 720p hdmi signal and pixel doubling to 1440p or tripling to 4k and outputting that as a valid HDMI signal without adding more than a frame or two of lag would require custom chips. Although maybe a software solution involving a gpu might be possible?
- simias 3y agoFPGA is probably a safer bet if you want to minimize latency. Implementation is left an as exercise for the reader.
- teruakohatu 3y agoInteresting. Did you investigate FPGAs?
- kimburgess 3y agoTake a look at the HDFury products. The X4 should do what you need with those lower resolutions.
