Video Rotation and Scaling Hardware

Please excuse this format, it's a raw copy of my personal notes when search for an inexpensive , LOW LATENCY, small 12V device that could rotate 1080p HDMI video for converting landscape to portrait mode high end video conferencing for a telepresence robot.  see: video on my home page. 

Ultimately I was able to find a company that could for $15,000 in development be able to use a $300 FPGA board that could be customized to as low as $150.  Contact me for more info. 

We where also able to use an Intel i5 desktop board and a PCIE HDMI capture board. OMG what a clunky power hungry hassle. The USB HDMI capture devices introduced an unacceptably large delay in the video.

I have received a response back from engineering.  We currently have a PCIe board that has SDI & HDMI inputs and HDMI output. 
We could develop the rotation microcode in the FPGA and deliver the board with a serial link to control it. 
The size is small about 4’’x4’’x1’’. The only thing you would need is power supply (5V TBD).
We would have only HDMI output (no VGA and no DVI-a, only DVI-d = HDMI).
 
Please let me know if this is something you’re interested in pursuing.
