Radxa 4K HDMI IN to MIPI CSI-2 Adapter
Introduction
The Radxa 4K HDMI IN to MIPI CSI-2 Adapter is based on the Rockchip RK628H video bridge chip. It converts HDMI video signals into MIPI CSI-2 signals and extracts I2S digital audio from the HDMI signal.
The adapter provides both 2-lane and 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 connectors, allowing development boards to quickly interface with HDMI cameras, computers and other high-definition video sources. It is suitable for video capture, image processing and embedded vision applications.

Features
- 4K HDMI input
Supports HDMI video input up to 4K@30fps, meeting high-definition video capture requirements.
- MIPI CSI-2 output
Provides 2-lane and 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 connectors: the 4-lane connector supports video output up to 4K@30fps, and the 2-lane connector supports video output up to 2K@30fps (2560 x 1440).
- RK628H video bridge
Based on the Rockchip RK628H, it converts HDMI signals into MIPI CSI-2 video signals.
- HDMI audio extraction
Extracts audio from the HDMI input signal and outputs digital audio through a dedicated I2S connector.
- EDID management
Declares supported video formats to the HDMI source through EDID, improving compatibility with different HDMI sources.
- Compatible with Radxa Z form factor
It can be mounted directly on Radxa Z form factor mini boards. For other form factors, the extension part can be cut along the reserved break line to fit different installation spaces.
- Built for vision development
Suitable for HDMI video capture, image processing, video analysis and embedded vision applications.

- The 31-Pin connector carries MIPI CSI video only. HDMI audio must be wired separately from the I2S pins on the 7-Pin header.
RK628_Plugin_DETandRK628_INTare 1.8V on the 31-Pin connector but 3.3V on the 7-Pin header, so check level compatibility when wiring.- Pins marked
NCare not connected; leave them floating and do not short them to other signals.
