Product description: Pimoroni Pico DV Demo Base - audio / video extension for Raspberry Pi Pico - PiMoroni PIM588
An extension for the Raspberry Pi Pico module in the form of a board with digital video and linear audio output. The DV Demo Base created by PiMoroni is equipped with an HDMI connector to transfer video from Raspberry Pi Pico, thanks to a digital converter. Using the PicoDVI user library Wren6991, you can output a digital video signal from an overclocked/overclocked RP2040. Using this board, you can simultaneously play audio and video files from a microSD card. Note that the DV Demo Base is an experimental board for more advanced users that relies on third-party software. Experience with Pico and C++ projects is required to operate the board.
TheRaspberry Pi Pico is not part of the kit, it can be purchased separately. The module comes with a female socket into which the Pico with soldered connectors should be plugged.

What is Raspberry Pi Pico?
The Raspberry Pi Pico is the first board with the RP2040 microcontroller, developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The RP2040 is a dual-core ARM Cortex M0+ based chip clocked at 133 MHz. The Pico is equipped with 264 kB of SRAM and 2 MB of Flash memory. The chip features 26 GPIO pins which operate at 3.3 V and a temperature sensor. The module is programmed via microUSB connector, in C/C++ or MicroPython languages, ideally suited for use in all kinds of projects.
