Graphics, sound and multimedia • Re: Will this VR display work with Rpi5?

I want to try this VR kit with a Raspberry Pi:

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805436121850.html (HDMI variant).

I found information from the Display Port version: it requires an output resolution of 2880x1440
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832788884145.html

Is the Rpi5 able to output this resolution?

2880x1440@60 is less than 3840x2160@60 that is supported by Pi5, so the expectation would be that it would work.
Note that the DP variant is saying it is doing 120Hz, and that is unlikely to be supported.

What about the DSI video outputs:
"2 × 4-lane MIPI camera/display transceivers"
from https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-5/
(the display LCDs, by themselves, require "MIPI (2 ch, 4 data lanes) , 40 pins Connector")

Have you got a full datasheet for the displays? DSI is not a plug and play interface, so you will all the details. It is possible to reverse engineer the DSI setup if you get the HDMI driver board and have a decent storage oscilloscope, but it's not a trivial task.
And it depends on whether that is 2channels of 4 lanes per display (ie 8 lanes total per display), or 4 lanes per display and 2 channels for the 2 displays. Pi5 does not support bonded DSI interfaces.
There's no standard connectors for DSI either.

It seems that the LCD vendor (DP version) includes 2 flat cable adapters for 40-pin LCD to 22-pin, and there's this product
https://www.pishop.us/product/display-c ... erry-pi-5/

There are no standard cables for DSI. The PI 22pin 0.5mm pitch to 15pin 1.0mm pitch cable is to connect the Pi5 to the either of the Pi DSI displays that have a 15pin (2 DSI data lanes) connector.

There's also this cable:

The description says

Connect a MIPI display to a ROCK single board computer with this MIPI DSI Display Adapter Cable.

This 100mm DSI Display Adapter Cable features a 40 to 15pin connection, 0.3mm pitch 4lanes to 1mm pitch 2lanes, and is perfect for connecting a ROCK 4C+ or ROCK 5B single board computer to a MIPI display.

You're not connecting to a Radxa ROCK SBC, so it's not relevant.
