   You can find some informations here:   
   http://www.flickeringmyth.com/2016/05/interview-henrique-olifier   
   -talks-about-the-zx-spectrum-next/   
      
   It's an interview of one project's creator.   
      
   This is a part:   
   It’s the HDMI so far, as we have chosen to make it more than just   
   HDMI. The VGA and RGB outputs present on the Spectrum Next are   
   produced by the ULA (in our case, the ULAplus) chip originally   
   powering the Speccy. That’s not compatible with HDMI, as one would   
   imagine. So we took a Raspberry Pi Zero and connected it via GPIO to   
   the Next’s expansion port, and monitor the video RAM area for any   
   changes. When these changes happen, we copy them over to the Pi’s   
   framebuffer and update what the Pi is outputting via HMDI.   
      
   and another interesting one:   
   The hardest is still to come: using the CPU/GPU/RAM of the Pi Zero   
   just for HDMI is a waste of resources, so we’ll build drivers to use   
   them as slave co-processors to the Z80 CPU of the Spectrum Next. That   
   way the Spectrum can say ‘hey, Pi, render me a 3D OpenGL frame of this   
   scene, please’, and have that generated and dumped back into the   
   Speccy RAM for any purpose we want to. So, we could have Minecraft or   
   Quake for the Spectrum, run on the Spectrum, but accelerated by the Pi   
   as a worker.
