Kickstarter recently featured the DigiPort, a pocket-sized, open-source computer that transforms any HDMI-compatible screen into a fully functional PC. Powered by a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, it provides a versatile solution for various tasks, including programming, gaming, and multimedia streaming.

The DigiPort is built around the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, which features a Broadcom BCM2711 quad-core Cortex-A72 processor running at 1.5 GHz. It is available in multiple configurations, offering 1GB to 8GB of LPDDR4 memory and up to 32GB of eMMC flash storage.

The device supports hardware decoding for H.265 (HEVC) up to 4Kp60 for multimedia applications. It also features Gigabit Ethernet, dual camera interfaces, PCIe Gen 2 x1, and USB ports for expandability and fast communication.

DigiPort comes with two USB 2.0 ports for connecting peripherals such as keyboards and mice, and it features a microSD card slot for additional storage. Wireless connectivity includes dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5.0GHz) and Bluetooth 5.0. Additionally, the onboard IR receiver allows for remote control functionality.

According to the campaign, this device supports a variety of operating systems, including Raspberry Pi OS, Windows, Android, Ubuntu, and Linux, offering flexibility for users to choose the platform that suits their needs.
