VGA to HDMI conversion

[HasHx]

Hello,

I have been working on a project where I need to convert VGA video signal into HDMI, is there any chips for this? i searched a lot and found a couple of chinese manufacturers and was hoping to find something different from that.

I also would like to know if there is any way to extract audio from HDMI signal and put it on a separate audio connector?

Thanks.

Buy one of these:

disassemble it and try to figure out how analog VGA is digitized.
And this:

is for extraction of digital audio from HDMI.

Thanks, they are using Chinese chips that I found their likes but i prefer something that can be procured easily and have clear datasheets.

Hello,

look how HDMI is implemented on FPGAs (it is basically VGA + TMDS coder). See for example these links:

Well, guess i will have to go that way probably as I have many side functionalities along with that one. Thanks!

Do you have any idea about the cost comparison for both methods?

You can get some HDMI examples from here:

Hello,

the cost of FPGA board is higher, but it is one time cost. After buying FPGA board you can use it for many projects. I can recommend you cheap FPGA board proper to implement such HDMI projects:

It cost 50 $ (US). Of course, if you want to spend more choice is wide. For example such board:

dedicated to video processing.

In some situations, it may be necessary to send a VGA signal from a computer to an HDMI connection on a newer display, TV, or projector. Using a VGA to HDMI Scaler/Converter, allows you to connect your computer to any device requiring an HDMI connection.
