Does RPi4 support video IN (usb c)

Question

This could probably be more of a generic hardware question but I plan to use an RPi 4.

Does the RPi 4 with usb C have the possibility of receiving HDMI input.

So essentially I want to use the RPi 4 as a capture card without any additional hardware.

Is this IN THEORY possible?

i could be wrong, but it appears that RPi4 has no HDMI input capability — jsotola, Mar 05 '22 at 05:31

The Pi4 DOES NOT HAVE a USB-C port.

It uses a USB-C connector for power.

In contrast to earlier Pi models the power power port does have data lines but only USB2 OTG is supported.

So the second link mainly suggests data transfer is very much possible – user35453 Mar 04 '22 at 10:50
Could please clarify about earlier Pi models microUSB port having data capabilities? This question and answer seems to suggest the opposite for the very early versions of Pis. – user68186 Mar 04 '22 at 21:19
