HDMI I/F for P3/K3.

[w4sc-2]

I know this has been discussed before.  It would be nice to have this optional interface.  

Looking at the VGA schematics it would appear that 85% of the work  has been done.  The major difference being the driver for the cable, and maybe a few tweaks in the FPGA.   Memory and A/D frontend Bandwidth should not be a problem as long as you don’t want 4K,,ect.  1080p is already available in the VGA adapter.

The other option is a VGA to HDMI converter.   One issue I have with any arrangement like this is there is yet another “box and cables” hanging off the back of my K3S/P3.

I found this one that may work.

I have ordered one.  I’ll report back on how well (or not) it works.  I have a 43inch Samsung NO-VGA TV to try it on.

Now the K4 has been announced with onboard P3 functionality, with HDMI interface, maybe HDMI for P3 will appear in the order list.

The other option is to save my “lunch money” for a K4??  Retire the K3S/P3 to radio museum.

NO, I do not want a JOB!
