Can I use the HDMI connector on the SEA shield as input?

I would like to build a simple video processing application. Can I use the HDMI connector on the SEA shield as an HDMI sink? If so is there maybe an example project which can put me in the right direction?

Thanks!

https://github.com/sea-s7 This is the organization that Xilinx maintains. There’s an HDMI example in there. @nikoneufeld

Dear Baozhu,

Thank you very much for the rapid answer! I had looked at this repo before. But the example there uses HDMI to output a Videosignal. I would like to use the HDMI as input, so to get the HDMI signal into the FPGA and the process the image there.

I have given them feedback and hope they can provide such examples in the future. @nikoneufeld

Thank you! If you just could ask or find out if it is at least in principle possible - i.e. if the hardware does allow it? This would be the case for instance if the HDMI lines are routed directly to the FPGA (I didn’t find a schematic of the board), but not if the HDMI signals are routed to some HDMI conditioner chip (which is usually unidirectional).

Kind regards,
Niko
