HDMI to CSI Camera Adapter

This adapter converts an HDMI video source into a CSI signal for Raspberry Pi boards. It supports input resolutions up to 1080p at 30fps, letting you use standard HDMI cameras as if they were native CSI modules. Compatible models include the Pi 4B, 3B+, 3B, Pi Zero and Zero W. An extra FCC cable is required for Pi Zero and Zero W boards.

Upgrading from native CSI modules

The adapter replaces a direct CSI camera ribbon connection when your sensor only offers HDMI output. The jump is worth it when you need higher-resolution sensors, longer cable runs, or industrial HDMI cameras that lack a CSI variant. It adds 1080p 30fps capture without changing the Pi software stack.

Build integration notes

The board plugs into the Pi CSI port and draws power from the host, so no external supply is needed. It frees up USB bandwidth by keeping video off the USB bus, leaving ports free for storage or peripherals. Ensure your enclosure has clearance for the HDMI connector and, for Zero boards, the additional FCC cable.

Questions about this item

What Raspberry Pi models does the adapter board fit?

The board connects to the CSI port on Raspberry Pi 4B, 3B+, 3B, 2B, 1B+, Zero and Zero W. For Zero and Zero W an extra FCC cable is required.

How is the adapter installed and what step is often missed?

Insert the ribbon cable into the Pi CSI connector with the contacts facing the correct direction, secure the latch, then enable the camera interface in raspi-config before rebooting.

When will the ribbon cable or adapter need replacement?

Replace the FCC ribbon if the contacts become bent or the cable develops kinks that cause intermittent video at 1080p 30fps. The adapter PCB itself has no moving parts.
