Ground zero...

Hi All, congrats on this forum and content, it's amazing, I've learned so much (and saved £££ by not diving straight in and buying the first things I found on google).

So time to put all the research into action.

I have a new Samsung 4K TV fed by a virgin media v6 box so looking for a 4k HDR setup.

After reading many posts it looks like a splitter and capture to a Pi is the way to go rather than straight to a capture device (to passthrough EDID from v6 box).

So.. I've been looking at EZCoo devices.

SP12H2Pro or SP12H2

Not using any Sound gear so not sure if the cheeper SP12H2.

Q1. Would be equally as good for my needs (any advise welcome please). CEC not needed I guess. Not sure if HDR is still an issue here with hyperion.

Q2. Not chosen a grabber yet so please advise as I'm in the dark here. Or.. Would a ezcap 269 fit my needs without a splitter?

I was going to configure the Pi / hyperion to connect to WLED via esp8266 to keep the clutter off the back of the TV.

Q3. Would there be too much latency using WiFi for this to work? WiFi is over 300Mbps

I appreciate there's a lot I don't know so any help would be greatly received.

Went for the EZCOO SP12H2. Still looking for a grabber. Maybe this one DIGITNOW! 4K

Is the goal here to reduce the captured video to say VGA quality or can hyperion cope with 1080? Or is this waisting processing time?

Thanks PClin.

Can't find one on Amazon UK so looks like Aliexpress then...

After lots of cross checking I couldn't find any that specifically mention Macrosilicon 2109. One that does have hyperion mentioned and working in the user comments is this one

I'll confirm for other UK members if it's a 2109 when it gets here.
