I made the world's BIGGEST HDMI port

HDMI-XL is the next BIG thing, I can almost promise you that. Currently in the prototype phase, this colossal HDMI port will eventually become a household standard. Ready to see if it works? Link to Chase's video:

Super cool! inb4 the HDMI Licensing Administrator demands you pay $5K for using their standard ;^)

Next up: DP-XL

​@@JessicaFEREM The DP Licensing Administrator demands you pay $10K for their standard, oh wait, the DP Licensing Administrator doesn't exist

[@elphive42]

Technically, if you put DVI with integrated audio in the port traditionally reserved for HDMI, you can use it since DVI is an open standard and can be adapted passively. You can’t, however, use the HDMI logo, and you may be limited to earlier versions of the HDMI standard.

[@luukbosma6786]

Fun fact, there is an official large hdmi concept that sadly never got used. Its called hdmi type b and would be somewhat similar to dvi-duallink

Never had a hdmi port break ether

this, i've had everything EXCEPT for an hdmi port broken. even in the not handling my electronics carefully when i was like 9 era, i had everything except for the hdmi ports LOL

[@hogandromgool2062]

I have a suggestion to make the pins. You can get house grade single strand copper and hammer it flat. Will be far more durable than the original pins. if you make a channel in the pins you could even glue it into the plastic pins for rigidity reasons. would add some spring tension back in there also. IT not displaying in 1080p is definitely signal degradation from the stripped shielding. if you use shielded wire right up until the split off for the pins you should be fine. you can shield each wire individually up to the pins by just wrapping some magnet wire around the wires in one direction then the other back down it to create two opposing loops like the original shielding would have had you'd eliminate all signal loss altogether. I suspect the resistance in the pins/wire grade is actually driving some of this loss.

[@TapticDigital]

@@hogandromgool2062 very good info, the hammered flat copper would definitely be a good idea. I could probably also rig up some EMI shields

[@justbeeeb2061]

@@TapticDigital thx m8 XD

[@GigawattGarage]

Really cool BUT, I wonder about signal integrity of the strands of cables you have now untwisted and removed the EMI shielding of.

[@TapticDigital]

@@GigawattGarage if you watch Chases video you’ll see that we ran into that exact problem. Signal strength gets wildly disrupted and limits resolution. If we do a V2 I think this can be overcome by implementing some filter caps or a separate daughterboard to run things through

[@GigawattGarage]

Why not use a HDMI to terminal adapter? they are fairly cheap and have a easier pinout to manage.
