iMX6 TinyRex HDMI Video Input

I hope you will like the new TinyRex HDMI input interface. You can connect there any HDMI output (e.g. GoPro, Settopbox, PC ….) and process the video or transfer it over network.

Watch how it works, the picture is even nicer than from my USB camera.

Thanks everyone who was helping us with this interface. For more information about HDMI input, check out here >

iMX6 TinyRex – Passed EMC Testing

To help you be more confident when using iMX6 TinyRex in your products, we did some EMC testing.

Here is a video from our testing

The setup passing FCC CLASS B
iMX6 TinyRex - EMC Setup

The setup passing through FCC CLASS B: iMX6 TinyRex + Lite Baseboard, 2x USB memory stick, HDMI output connected to HDMI input, Ethernet loopback, Switching power supply, enclosure, running heavy testing script for USB and SD card read/write test, stressapptest for CPU and memory, HDMI output & HDMI input in 1920×1080, Ethernet SSH session.

The Bare Board

The bare board, with no enclosure, can easily pass FCC Class B (iMX6 TinyRex + Lite Baseboard, 2x USB memory stick, HDMI output connected to Monitor, Ethernet loopback, Switching power supply, no enclosure), but you need to be very careful about HDMI input and SATA. Here is the setup and results:

Welcome iMX6 TinyRex

For last 9 months we were working really hard :) Based on your comments, we developed a new module, which is half size of the standard iMX6 Rex and has almost all the iMX6 pins available on the board to board connectors, including camera interfaces. PDF schematic of the iMX6 TinyRex module will be available, but the module is not going to be open source.
