RGBtoHDMI is a bare-metal Raspberry Pi firmware plus CPLD hat that samples digital RGB/YUV video from retro computers like the BBC Micro and Electron and converts it to pixel-perfect HDMI output. It is written in C and distributed under GPL-3.0.
Use cases
- connect a BBC Micro to a modern HDMI monitor
- convert retro computer RGB video to HDMI
- get pixel-perfect video capture from vintage machines
- display Electron video output on a modern TV
- digitize retro computer video signals
When to choose
- you own a BBC Micro, Electron, or compatible retro machine with digital RGB output
- you want lossless pixel-perfect video conversion rather than analog capture
- you have a Raspberry Pi Zero and can build or buy the CPLD hat
When to avoid
- you need to convert analog composite or S-Video signals
- you want a plug-and-play commercial scaler without soldering or firmware flashing
- your source device outputs VGA or modern digital video standards
