If you want to turn HDMI video into art, then you might be interested in my Pixel Wrangler project: github.com/osresearch/pixel-wr

Maybe you have an old Mac that you want to use as an HDMI monitor? The Pixel Wrangler can do that!

LED matrices are also a good match for the Pixel Wrangler.

Vector displays are maybe not the best match for the Pixel Wrangler, although it can be made to work...

@th Curious if you think the Pixel Wrangler could drive a Mac Portable active matrix display? I have a broken Mac Portable that might make a good donor to put a RaspPi to run MiniVMac on.

@paulrickards 640x480x1 fits in the PixelWrangler frame buffer, so probably? The only question is how many IO pins are on the blue connector and do they need level shifting.

@paulrickards I’m also prototyping a Pi optimised version of the pixel wrangler than can use the DPI port instead of the HDMI and will have more IO available for weird panels.
