Wait bringus has another channel? How did i not know this
Can every KVM do this please?
You can make it sooo cursed lol.
A KVM usually have circuitry that can handle a specific total bandwidth and a specific number of HDMI or DP ports (I’ve seen a few where using 2x 4K displays would disable the remaining ports until disconnected due to bandwidth).
To make this work as expected for a KVM you need circuitry to handle all ports being used for either standard (expensive, lol), and have each physical port connected to I/O on both the HDMI and DP controller. Or support half and half, but connect each port to even more I/O ports and start doing switching…
You mean like a $500 level 1 techs KVM?
This reminds me of the e-SATA port that was also a USB port.
eSATA seemed like it had potential but I can’t say I ever actually used it. I remember those ports, though. Might have a motherboard kicking around in storage with one.
eSATAp. (The p is for power!)
You can add these ports to a PC. With help from the motherboard and power supply, they’ll support both USB and eSATA, including mechanical drives that need 12V power.

With the right cable, you can plug bare drives into them, which is convenient for backups, imaging, etc.
Or we can just use DisplayPort?
Please let all of the TV manufacturers know about your plan.
Unfortunately most get royalties from HDMI, so won’t endorse an alternative.
My point is that everyone says what you just said. But it’s not an answer and doesn’t solve the problem. It’s kinda tiring seeing it repeated time and time again on the AMD posts.
This Is common on Lemmy.
Systemic response to individual event
Welcome to the world my guy. Little old me can’t change it, but I can express my desire for it. You will see a lot of people doing the exact same thing across many many topics, luckily the port on the back of a TV is hardly an important issue for me to take the time to campaign further.
that was weird
It’s called preaching to the choir. We are not your target audience.
You are on a content aggregation site where people post opinions and discuss random crap, what are you expecting to see here???
Calm down bud. I had no issue with the initial post, but the comment I replied to sounds like you’re trying to actually elicit change. My response was meant to make it clear that the general audience here agrees and you need to focus your efforts elsewhere.
I thought they have to license the usage of HDMI so pay royalties to the HDMI foundation …
Who do you think setup and owns the HDMI foundation?
Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Philips etc…
So? I dont follow, how does that change things?
The TV manufacturers own the HDMI foundation.
Other devices being “forced” to implement HDMI ports because every TV has them might benefit those TV manufacturers.
Not sure how exactly that would work, I assume it gives them some level of control/power.
If they’re profiting more than they’re paying for maintaining this standard as the default then they don’t want it to change
Youve lost me, why would the TV manufacturers who get royalties from licensing HDMI want to offer a free alternative?
