Readable, well-written SystemVerilog
From 2 comments
Your systemverilog is quite readable and well written. Good work on the library. Always a pleasure to see people using stuff I developed (used to work on Quartus)
typon on HNBrilliant!

Objections
HDMI adopter licensing fees may apply to shipped products
From 2 comments
Isn't the reason they use DVI that it helps avoid the HDMI licencing costs? Not the FPGA implementation, but the adopter licence fee.
MatthewWilkes on HNI know some small projects are having a lot of trouble with this, because using only modules from fully paid-up adopter doesn't exempt you if you ship an end-user product that…

Add HDMI input support
From 2 comments
Nice! Everything I'd seen before was DVI. What about HDMI input? What I'm imagining is an HDMI freeze button, to buffer a single frame. Many projectors have that feature built…
peterburkimsher on HNI would live HDMI input also, but for different reasons. I want to process video from HDMI streams.

Questions
Why dual-license under Apache and MIT
From 1 comment
> Dual-licensed under Apache License 2.0 and MIT License. How does this work? Isn't the Apache license somewhat more restrictive than the MIT license? Why bother with both?

Resource utilization compared to Xilinx HDMI core
From 1 comment
This is a cool project! Is there any info available on the utilization numbers for the core? I'm curious how it stacks up against Xilinx's HDMI bloatware.
