@TheZeldaZone I know.

Cheap garbage cables can be a real pain in the ass. Ask me how I know!

• If it was my decision #HDMI would've never been adopted but #HDSDI over #Fiber instead...

And as soon as one needs more than 1080p60 4:2:0 8bpc and/or 2m cable lenght, shit gets expensive in HDMI territory...

• Same with USB-C the closer you go to #USB4 + #DP 1.4 + PD 2.0...

@eniko I love it but then again it's the only reliable, license-free interface that isn't #HDSDI!

Wenns nach mir ginge wäre #HDSDI über #Glasfaser statt #HDMI der Standard!

• Und ja, der Tod von HDMI ist selbstverschuldet und verdient! #DisplayPort ist in allem besser...

@nickzoic @vwestlife the priblem is rather that I have some weird stuff that doesn't take your average converter.

• I.e. #NeoGeo MVS...

Personally I prefer #OpenStandards like #DisplayPort, #SDI / #HDSDI, #DVI & #VGA / #RGB over proprietary stuff (i.e. #HDMI)...

Yeah, I really need to get myself such a #smol and #cute screen too...

Tho I'd preferably not buy a "#TV" but instead a #Monitor with #BNC input for analog video or even some surplus'd professional screen with #SDI or even #HDSDI inputs.

• Most importantly are #VESA-Mounts tho!

Ja, #HDMI ist shice und #DisplayPort und damit #USBc ist besser...

• Am besten wäre natürlich #HDSDI per OM5-#Glasfaser mit BNC-Tyle Bayjonettkupplungen, aber das wäre zu gut...

@zima true, true...

Personally, I think #HDMI is garbage and instead #ConsumerElectronics should've gone the same way as #BroadcastEquipment and switched over to #HDSDI over a decade and use #optical versions of it now...

@figuratum @jwildeboer There's however a reason why USB-C maxes out at 48V DC @ 5A and if you need strain relief and unplug/pull prevention there are "#Neutrik-Cinnectors" which basically take the keyed shield & latch from #XLR and just insert a different plug into those.

• They are quire common and I've seen those for #USB, #Ethernet and even #SDI / #HDSDI!

@fuchsiii @Jain +1

I see some nice #HDSDI cabling and multicam setup in the making...

Looking for a service manual for a TVLogic LVM-171WP if anyone can tell me where to find one please? #tv #television #pvm #righttorepair #sdi #hdsdi #hd #highdefinition

@icedquinn Interestingly, #Intel did workaround that whole #HDMI assholeism by technically not implementing HDMI & #HDCP on their cards but only #DisplayPort and instead solder-down #DP-to-HDMI converter ICs for HDMI outputs...

#UnpopularOpinion but not making #SDI & 12G-#HDSDI over #Fiber mandatory was the biggest missed opportunity by @EU_Commission to make shit just work!

@arstechnica #HDMI is a plight to everyone and if it were my decision the @EU_Commission would've forced #Fiber-based #HDSDI into all displays and GPUs per law over a decade ago...

If I were #AMD / @gpuopen I'd literally add #HDSDI ports with [mini] #BNC or rather #SFF8472 / #SFP+ ports for #SDI modules similar to this one:

@sarayalth TBH, Both #DisplayPort & #HDMI are bad and if it was my decision, #HDSDI-12G over #OM5 #Fiber would've been the standard instead!

@corbden You forgot #DB13W3 (#SGI & #Sun HD #RGB w/ Sync on Green), #BNC (#SDI, #HDSDI, #10Base2, #10Base5,) #DB15 (#Gameport, #MIDI), #MicrosoftMousePort, #ADB, #IDE, #DiiVA, #RGB & #SCART just to name those I've handed in the last 10 years...

@chrisisgr8 ever heard of #HDMI- / #HDSDI - #Matrix & #KVM switches?

If setup correctly, you can do X computers on Y desks and instantly switch between stuff...

@norwin yes, that is a problem!

Just like #HDMI is being used to kill #VCR's...

Now one needs to literally crack #HDCP to even record console gameplay or #unencrypted #PublicBroadcast|s...

I just wished #HDSDI over #Fiber would've become the standard instead.

@liz Personally, I have an #HDMI - #Recorder and I'm still pissed that #HDMI was adopted and not #SDI / #HDSDI for cabling outside of professional studios.

Cuz it's a pain in the ass to remove the value-removing bs that is #HDCP...

You know what was needed to record shit before #HDMI? A #SCART cable and a #VCR!

@Archarzel yeah.

I'm pissed that #HDMI is so #Inconvenient...

If it wasn't an expensive pain in the ass I would've switched to 12G-#HDSDI over fiber ages ago...

The fact that Matrix Switches often don't work unless one adds an HDCP-Stripper before the inputs is infuriating me even more...
