The HDMI Forum, responsible for the HDMI specification, continues to stonewall open source. Valve’s Steam Machine theoretically supports HDMI 2.1, but the mini-PC is software-limited to HDMI 2.0. As a result, more than 60 frames per second at 4K resolution are only possible with limitations.
Wha… how? What?
ESD. the air is extremely dry here
Put a ferrite core (or ferrite bead) around your cable to lessen the impact ESD has on your video output.
good tip, I’ll try that!
Whoa
There are a lot of passive adapters out there that seem like black magic at first.
Obviously has drawbacks, but you can also do displayport/hdmi to VGA passively.
That is not passive, they have to “translate”.
Oh, you may have got me.
By passive, I was trying to say that no external power/additional connection/etc is required. But, the port is technically powered and that is enough to make it not passive.
