Announce the Numato Opsis, the first FOSS hardware for the HDMI2USB.tv firmware

[Tim Ansell]

Hello!

I'm really pleased to announce the availability of the Numato Opsis on CrowdSupply at https://www.crowdsupply.com/numato-lab/opsis ! The Numato Opsis is the first open video platform specifically designed for the HDMI2USB firmware.

The Numato Opsis takes the features we had in the prototyping platform and extends it to support a wide variety of new functionality. Firstly, it gives us complete control over all the HDMI pins including the EDID, hot plug and CEC pins. Next, it includes high speed transceivers mapped to DisplayPort dual-mode connectors, allowing us to experiment with DisplayPort and HDMI and resolutions well beyond the 720p currently we support. Lastly, the design is fully open and already published on GitHub.

You can find out a lot more about the board on the CrowdSupply page and as we slowly add information to the HDMI2USB.tv website at http://hdmi2usb.tv/numato-opsis

Happy to answer any questions people have about the board. If it is successful we will definitely look at doing even more hardware in the future!
