The 1080p60 demo was VGA. The DVI goes up to 720p30 (with a 372 MHz system clock)

The 1080p60 demo was VGA. The DVI goes up to 720p30 (with a 372 MHz system clock)

The 1080p demo was also very overclocked: 297MHz, although Kilograham thinks that 148.5MHz would suffice with less flexible PIO code.

Either way, that is quite a lot more than the nominal 120 MHz or 133 MHz max.

If you need video, it would IMHO be more reasonable to get Raspberry Pi Zero for a dollar more.

For sure -- it's a microcontroller at the end of the day! The video stuff is all very much "because you can", and because it translates well in a Twitter video clip.

The VGA + I2S + SD card media player demo we showed was running at 48 MHz, almost a third of the maximum 133 MHz, so it's not the case that you need to overclock to have fun with this stuff.
