I contacted them to get the price for the SDH-MPFH1 1080x1920 HDMI/DVI to MIPI controller board and they said that they were re-designing it to SDA-MPFH2 for 1200x1920 support as well as adding OSD button control and scaling.chunkyang wrote:Check out http://www.signetfpd.com for 1200x1920 MIPI LCD and HDMI/DVI to MIPI board.
There's a big chance it won't fit inside of the hmd enclosure. It's 16:9 instead of 16:10 so it's a bit wider and there's hardly any extra room in the hmd. Some one should get that innolux panel dimensions so we can compare, but it is a slim chance at best. Also with that panel, you would be wasting those precious pixels.

I don't know about anyone else but I'd like to keep my modded DevKit and also get the consumer version. So get a higher res version soon and get the real deal later. VR with friends locally using both even if using homemade games and not official Rift games. Hopefully we can find a way to make any DevKit mod compatible with the replacement screen by replacing headset parameters.MSat wrote:The thing is that we're approaching the release of the consumer version of the Rift. Hacking together an HD version might be able to beat its release by several months, and while the mod is likely to cost less money, it'll be at the expense of what will probably be a better, fuller-featured product. VR is starting to get a bit hectic with all the various hardware popping up on kickstarter and other places. Right now, Oculus is the most important player and I've decided to sit back and not make any moves until the dust settles a bit and Oculus lays down their cards. For me, doing anything else would be financially wasteful.
) if you'd got any further with your MIPI boards?
I emailed the same person too they said the board mk2 will be ready mid October and he was gonna email me prices next week ill keep everyone updatedFredz wrote:I contacted them to get the price for the SDH-MPFH1 1080x1920 HDMI/DVI to MIPI controller board and they said that they were re-designing it to SDA-MPFH2 for 1200x1920 support as well as adding OSD button control and scaling.chunkyang wrote:Check out http://www.signetfpd.com for 1200x1920 MIPI LCD and HDMI/DVI to MIPI board.
They also said that since it's a new product they were still in process of analyzing cost and that right now their factory in Korea was closed for the week to observe their national holidays, "Full Moon". They will get back to me on both prices (for the LD070WU2-SM01 7" 1200x1920 LCD panel as well) by next week.
EDIT: just realized you may be the same person I was in contact with by e-mail.
I would like to point out that room in hmd should not be much of a concern. I (and believe many others) would be more than glad to make 3d printable part(s) or even whole HMD casing enabling you to fit any display suggested. You can then print those or have 'em sent at your address.wileythecoyote wrote:There's a big chance it won't fit inside of the hmd enclosure.

It's not out yet, will be at the end of october.BDVS4Ever wrote:anyone look at the screen on the new kindle fire HDX?
Fredz wrote:Ah thanks for the answer, the first option makes sense.
Forgot to mention but they said that support for other LCD panels would need a new interface board and that the development cost would be $1000. I also thought it was only a matter of reprogramming the board, but it may be a bit more complicated.
No idea. I could ask them but then they would probably ask why I would need this. And the answer would be in direct competition with their HDMI-MIPI board, not really fair.MSat wrote:I assume that the supplier would also be able to provide a datasheet, correct?
Well, if they're willing to sell the panels without their HDMI->MIPI board, then I don't really see what the big deal is. Especially if your goal isn't to make such board for the sake of directly competing with them.Fredz wrote:No idea. I could ask them but then they would probably ask why I would need this.

Can't most of these things be done via video card settings? Things like rotation, and up/downscale to native res?OzOnE2k10 wrote:I don't think EDID spoofing will be too difficult.
The few other things to worry about are that a basic MIPI adapter wouldn't have any scaling capability (unless a Realtek type board is used for that).
So, the software would need to output in the panel's native res, which is also portrait for many of the 1080p "mobile" panels.
Some of the current demos don't have the config screen for choosing the res, so I'm not sure if they check the EDID for the preferred res or not?
The best MIPI board would be a combination of a scaler and MIPI converter.
I believe many of the common Realtek scaler chips only output in LVDS or parallel RGB though, so that will be a pain.
If we could get hold of an IC which does LVDS to MIPI conversion, then all you would need is a Realtek board configured for the specific panel.
(MIPI adapter would connect between the scaler board and the panel).
I wish Oc would produce an HD dev kit too.
I guess they're concentrating on the consumer version atm, but I think most of us would still buy the consumer one, even after an HD DK.
OzOnE.
I think the rotation is done at a low level in the gpu driver, and any software is oblivious to this. All the software knows is the panel resolution reported by the driver. As far as the gpu-based scaler, that's probably done post render. I do wonder how necessary a receiver-side scalar would be. As far as I can tell, my old gpu doesn't support scalaing...OzOnE2k10 wrote:
I'm guessing / hoping that the portrait rotation / scaling is all done at the post-render stage, so won't affect rendering at all?
I'm designing an HMD myself for an university-project; but why is it necassary to put a 7" screen as replacement? If my optics are right and you have a lens with f=50mm; then the distance between the lens and lcd is 50mm and with a FOV-per-eye of 90*, you only need like a screen of 100mm?wileythecoyote wrote: There's a big chance it won't fit inside of the hmd enclosure.

They are talking about replacing the Rift DK screen itself, not a DIY HMD.

Or am I miscalculating things over here?
Thank you for the help!

I know, but still the same question as I hoped with the answer to that question to answer questions I've with my project. schipleon wrote: I'm designing an HMD myself for an university-project; ....
