Don't mind me, I'm just sitting here with my HDMI-RX port on rk3588 being happy that is works and I didn't brick the board when doing uboot update to uncurse it.

    rockchip something-or-other that's on the KiwiPi 5B. iirc it can strip hdcp and all that jazz, too? one of the ports is labeled "HDMI RX" for input.

    Man, that article has _all_ the AI smells. Here's the only interesting part:
    gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! videoconvert ! autovideosink sync=false
    I guess it just has an HDMI capture chip on-board. If you have a spare USB port, these are under $20 everywhere.

    Any decent ones? I own a few that I use for managing (semi)headless machines and they all manage maybe 2-3fps

    2-3fps is weird. They should all do (lossy compressed) 1080p30 over USB 2.0.
    The lowest end of HDMI captures used to use HDMI-PAL converter wired to an S-Video capture chip onboard. That was completely superseded by MacroSilicon MS21xx chips that actually capture HDMI. The ones that are now everywhere are based on those MacroSilicon chips.

    Hah. A while ago I concluded that all the cheap PAL capture devices were so bad in software that my go-to setup became a PAL->HDMI converter followed by HDMI capture. It certainly crashed a lot less.
