Re: Gut a Dell laptop?

... The display likewise will be getting power and data from the motherboard too. Again ribbon cables usually are used, usually something like LVDS. The Raspberry Pi has a DSI interface, but I believe this is mostly used for smaller screens like those you'd find in a mobile phone.

Re: first design for an hdmi to lvds adapter

I'm working on a solution based on the ADV7611 too, I'm surprised I didn't see this earlier. One huge advantage to this chip is the I2S port, it can extract the sound too, and this is what I'm trying to accomplish. I took a look at EiNSTeiN_'s work, looks fine except for the power decoupling capacit...

That and a 3D printed case would make a great thin client.

Re: DSI Display available [Mod edit: no it isn't.]

In the first instance, we're not going to provide a panel; we'll be providing a DSI to LVDS bridge. We're primarily interested in large panels, and they tend to be LVDS panels. Mahjongg is quite right - OP's panel won't work; he is underestimating the difficulty of ...

Re: HDMI->LVDS converter

The converter actually runs from 3.3V (no regulator included yet).
I will post the schematics and the PCB drawings later.
Anyways, I don't think I'll build it.

I think the long blanking will only be needed for simple LVDS to shift-registers to D/A encoding "converter boxes" where the video signal is indeed turned back into a "legacy" analog signal.

Re: HDMI->LVDS converter

Dear godFather89,

I´d also be interested in your design. Could you share the schematics? So we all can check if it fits our needs?

I think that everyone would benefit to buy it from you (made in batches), than to build it single unit.

Best regards
