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?

I can see everything I want on aliexpress - except for the lens.

Which lens is going to let me view around a A4 / foolscap area?

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

After my precious #HDBaseT in-home streaming solution was stolen by a neighbor last week (Amazon refunded me), I settled for a more more low-tech solution: I ordered a 10 m #HDMI cable and a 15 m active #USB 2.0 extension.

It's more conduit for sure, but cheaper and probably less hassle to set up as well.

Can't wait for #PC couch #gaming at 4K60 🤓

Have you ever encountered VLC unable to play a .mkv file when your machine is plugged into hdmi? I have this .mkv file that will play fine on my MacBook screen, but if I plug an hdmi cable into my MacBook to output to a projector, VLC just shows a black screen, even after restarting VLC.

Thankfully I was able to get what I wanted playing over the projector from a different source and in a different format but I'm still really confused. #VLC #mkv #hdmi #tech #VideoFormats #codecs #mac

I’ve got #CEC over #HDMI (#Anynet+ on #Samsung TV) so my #AppleTV #SiriRemote powers the ︎TV box, TV, and #Onkyo receiver adjusts receiver volume, and operates the ︎TV normally (as shown in the photo).

On occasion, the settings to do this in the ︎TV disable. It initially all powers up but then only the ︎TV can be shut off (not the TV or receiver) and no volume control. And this setting in the ︎TV menus can’t be re-enabled. Only way to fix is to pull the power for everything and plug back in.

Do I know anyone who's ever tried to capture an ARM-based #apple #Mac using a capture card? I am running into the dreaded #HDCP issues that seem to be common with these and google's failing me for a solution.
Does using a #HDMI splitter still work for these cases or is there some kind of fancy tool to just disable HDCP for the duration? I'm not planning on capturing copyrighted material, it's just that this is on by default universally on macs for ... a reason that escapes me but I'm sure is very forward-thinking, magical and revolutionary. #streaming #contentCreation #hacks

@benbrown depends on your workflow.

You can even use a #RaspberryPi with the #HDMI2CSI adapter board.

  • OFC you propably need a splitter so the sending device gets a proper #EDID and doesn't negotiate the wron resolution.

Don't forget that cracking #HDCP is a legal no-no, but there's no way for anyone to find out...
