Hi all,

We've found an industrial partner to manufacture and ship the DSI shield boards. Before we start the production, we need to know how many people would be like to purchasing the boards and which display models should be supported out-of-the-box. Feel free to fill the Doodle below if you are interested:

Cheers,

Tom

I sent a purchase request email to Creotech on 2015-11-04 (5 days ago), but still didn't get a reply. 

I'm still interested in buying your board; please let me know how to do so!

Tom, it's been a month since this post - can you give any info about the timeline for production? The Doodle indicates somewhere between 141-278+ boards. What needs to happen to make this happen?

  Are you sure? yes | no

We are preparing an improved version of PCB, together with Creotech (http://creotech.pl). As soon as we'll have the prototypes ready, I'll let you know.,

I'd like to use this adapter to build small, lightweight video monitors, but have a few questions: Will 10-bit video work? Will the adapter automatically display in landscape, although some panels scan in portrait mode? Down-sample 1920x1080 to the iPhone screens which are smaller than 1920x1080? What about common frame rates such as 29.97, 23.98, etc.? Is there a possibility, operating sans arduino, to attach control buttons? Would there be the possibility, down the line, for someone to program the FPGA for useful overlays & controls, like frame guides,peaking, false color (not me, but someone who could code custom firmware)?

+1 for the price range, also LG Optimus G Pro would be great ...  I took samsung S3/S4 on the pool but this one would be my choice

  Are you sure? yes | no

I can't wait for this board, I hope there will be support for LG Optimus G Pro screens. The LCD's are so inexpensive for these phones that projects will be cheap.

Excellent news! I entered the poll. I really hope you can provide an commercial option soon :)

davedarko wrote 04/28/2015 at 10:08 point

Can you say something about the price yet? Any worst/best case scenarios? I think this is a factor for people to join in as well.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Well, he states that the BOM should be $40 for the project. Considering that he had ten of the version 1 boards made for $109, I can't imagine that the boards will cost more than $11 each
