mini-HDMI ports

Post by IU2KAC » Mon Jan 16, 2023 7:22 pm

I rephrase the question, could someone explain to me what the 2 mini-HDMI ports are for?
Thank you.

None, as theyre not used in a portsdown setup.
If you plug a screen in all you'll most prob. see is a command prompt, if that even.

There are instructions on the Wiki, but it is to monitor an HDMI input dongle. The HDMI ports are standard on the pi, but not used in Portsdown. Please check the Wiki first. https://wiki.batc.org.uk/The_Portsdown_ ... ver_system it answers most questions.

Please please just look at the Wiki. This is answered here https://wiki.batc.org.uk/Configuring_yo ... _Portsdown but if you mean stream the received video, look here

https://wiki.batc.org.uk/The_Portsdown_ ... V_receiver where you will find the answer.

The received signal is displayed on the 7" touch screen. It is also available as a UDP output on the network enabling it to be viewed on a larger PC using VLC or a similar software.
