Lintest Systems has started shipping the PiCapture HD1 video capture card, which uses the Raspberry Pi camera interface to capture high definition video (HDMI or Component) with very low latency using the full capability of the Pi GPU: https://lintestsystems.com/products/picapture-hd1 The board emul...

The -pts option is really what you want again. Thanks for pointing me to this - it is a big help to understand what is happening in the encoder. I ran some experiments, and you are correct that at 1080p 60fps the SoC is dropping some of the frames. The captured video plays seemed faithful to the so...

Will you be adding support for 1080i? The PiCapture SD1 has RAM for deinterlacing NTSC and PAL sources, but we don't have that on the HD1 - it is designed for progressive video only. We have implemented a mode on the HD1 that works with 1080i by presenting each half-frame to the GPU at 960x540 reso...

I'm not going to knock your achievement at all (it's really pretty impressive), but 1080P60? Seeing as you appear to be reusing the OV5647 camera modes those are set up to only allow up to 1080P30. Now you can feed data in faster and the SoC will try to handle it - I can't think of anything in the ...

We have completed development of the high-definition version of our PiCapture solution, which supports capture of progressive video up to 1080p 60fps using the Raspberry Pi camera interface. It has both HDMI and Component video inputs - the component video processing is one approach to dealing with ...

The PiCapture SD1 is now available, and we in the process of shipping all preorders. It is taking a bit longer than anticipated to arrange for distribution outside of the US, but we have enabled international orders on our website for several countries and will work with anyone that wants to place a...

The PiCapture SD1 is available for preorder in the US only at this point. We hope to make it available outside of the US soon.

We have just announced the PiCapture SD1 solution for capturing composite video with an adapter board that uses the Raspberry Pi camera interface and all of the capabilities of the GPU. You can find details about this on our website: http://lintestsystems.com/products/picapture-sd1

We have decided to go ahead with production of this product - you can find details on our website at: http://lintestsystems.com

My post above has been updated with some better examples of actual captures, also on the website.

Lintest Systems is launching a line of video capture boards for the Raspberry Pi, starting with the PiCapture SD1. PiCapture SD1 captures standard-definition interlaced video in the CVBS standard (NTSC/PAL) from Composite, S-Video, and YPbPr Component sources as 640×480 video. By using the Raspberry...

Here are a few example captures using our solution: https://lintestsystems.com/sd1-examples 6by9, you are exactly right about how we are doing this. Of course, this is only standard definition video and so the quality of the result is limited by the source. There doesn't seem to be much degradation ...

I'll post a demo soon - the recordings I have now were made with copyrighted material using a DVD player and so we need to make some others. Right now we're not thinking of including audio, since there a lots of solutions out there for that and it is a challenging getting everything on a HAT size bo...

After much trial and error, we have implemented an adapter that will capture composite video using the standard Raspberry Pi camera interface and software - no drivers or other changes are required. The adapter emulates the OV5647 camera and operates transparently to the RPi, so that Raspivid, Raspi...
