HDMI-Anschlüsse befinden sich bei Systemkameras oft vor dem seitlich aufgeklappten Display, sodass ein eingestecktes Kabel es verdeckt. HDMI-Folienkabel helfen.

blog! “Gadget Review: DisplayPort to HDMI Showdown”

From crummy old S-Video, through SCART, VGA, and HDMI - the world of video connectors has never been entirely cross compatible. Oh, sure, with enough boxes and adapters you can usually get an old device to talk to a new one. But results are never guaranteed and quality can take a hit.

Hello fedi, I got a #techhelp question. Is there's such a thing as a passthrough HDMI multiplexer? As in, the equivalent of unplugging one cable and plugging another in? #tech #hdmi

Here is the desktop set up on the Mango Pi Pro #RISCV #SBC. As mentioned earlier it is running minimal #LXDE on top of a vanilla install of #Ubuntu server 24.10.

I have peeled back a few things, such as audio since the basic Ubuntu install does not have the stuff to run #HDMI #audio (I could do look into this more but eh). I will do some more tinkering with the ISO from the official Mango Pi website. Lets see how that goes

I don't recall you dabbling with direct #hdmi capturing, but the cross-arch usage caught my attention.

Just upgraded one of my #C64 with a newly published #HDMI extension "#HD64" that replaces the RF modulator and provides some features for digital displays (e.g. changing the C64's colour palette):

As much as I dislike Apple no idea why #Mini_DisplayPort #DisplayPort is not more used considering its free to use, would be SO MUCH better for #SBC computers, instead of shiddy #HDMI

China develops its own HDMI alternative GPMI

China's GPMI connection is faster than Thunderbolt 5 and charges devices with twice the power. Huawei and other manufacturers see it as an alternative to HDMI.

#HDMI-Konkurrenz #GPMI:

»Wurden bislang die Standards für die Entwicklung der ganzen Elektronik-Branche mehrheitlich von westlichen Gremien auf Englisch diskutiert, niedergelegt, lizenziert etc. […] Jetzt beginnt China in der Computer/Multimedia-Branche Standards zu setzen.
Wenn das Fahrt aufnimmt, sehen wir hierzulande sehr doof aus. Ich kenne in meinem Bekanntenkreis nur einen Sinologen, der ist aber in Kultur-/Wirtschaftsthemen unterwegs.«

Anyone tried an hdmi industrial camera on a lever-arm stand with a suitable lens as an #ElectronicMagnifier - and the image displayed on a suitable tv / monitor?

Most of these setups are being used as microscopes with lenses giving around 150X magnification. Far too much for reading a book.
