    Hey guys,

    I'm working on a little project with some friends and we had a question.

    I wanted to know if it's possible to input HDMI data signals through GPIO to achieve a a sort of HDMI hub using the UDOO Quad.

    Thanks in advanced guys!

    Sorry, you cannot perform such a thing with UDOO.

    So the GPIO pins cannot input an HDMI signal at all? Could you give me a brief understanding as to why?

    Maybe because GPIO is to slow for this?

    HDMI is 4 pairs of LVDS(low voltage differential signals) signals and a few other misc lines. GPIO is usually digital or analog.
