This module allows you to recover the outgoing digital audio stream of the GPIO port of a Raspberry Pi (or one of its HATs) and send it to the balanced LVDS format on an HDMI port.

This allows using a combo Raspberry Pi + reclocker as high-fidelity digital audio player connected to a remote DAC. In that, it differs from the usual strategy of mounting the DAC directly on the RPI or to establish a connection by converting the digital stream to S / PDIF.

The HDMIPi transmitter allows installations where the DAC is separated from Pi (not on top), while maintaining an I2S encoded digital stream with the LVDS standard (without conversion that may alter the signal).

This figure illustrates the whole set I2S / HDMI mounted on a FIFOPI. The latter is itself mounted on a Raspberri Pi3B+.

When mounted this way, the whole can communicate via HDMI with any DAC equipped with an I2S LVDS input to HDMI.

For convenience, Ian Canada also offers the dedicated receiver which mainly offers the advantage of being powered directly via the HDMI cord used for interconnection.

Caution FifoPi and the Raspberry Pi are not supplied and must be purchased separately.
