off topic - can raspberry pi do HDMI capture?

[Peter Maersk-Moller]

Rasp PI does not have a HDMI input port, only HDMI output port. So the
short answer is no.

I assume you want it to be able to do something similar to the Teradek Cube
http://www.teradek.com/pages/cube.

HDMI input port are interesting, but they usually have to respect HDCP, so
no copying of most things basically, which makes them pretty useless,
unless of course, you just want to receive for encoding from a HD camera.

HDMI-input to USB is also not a good idea as HD video exceeds the USB 2.0
bandwidth.

Rasp PI has a camera connector, but its low level stuff for CPU talking
almost straght to the image sensor chip.

I assume you want it to be able to do something similar to the Teradek Cube
http://www.teradek.com/pages/cube.

You can however do something like using a Logitech C920 Web camera or
similar. It uses USB-2.0 and can deliver encoded HD video in H.264. But
then of course, that's hardly as good as a good video camera, but you would
be surprised.
