K4 Internal and External display resolution-connector

[Elecraft mailing list]

I have a question as to the video output connector.

The K4 appears to have an HDMI connector for the monitor output.

I have been told by other manufacturers that using an HDMI connector
involves royalty fees or some other licensing.

Is this true?  If so, how has Elecraft navigated this situation?

Hi Dave,

The K4's internal LCD has a resolution 1024x600, which is very sharp.

We also demonstrate the K4 with a large external 1920x1080 HDMI compatible
monitor. Our h/w should support up to 4K external monitors.

Note that rather than just mirroring the internal color LCD of the K4 on the

external monitor, we can display data independently from the LCD at the same

time in whatever format we wish, such as the full screen spectrum and
waterfall
display we've been showing at the shows at 1920x1080.

73,
Eric
