The cheapest maybe, but don't I need to watch for specs and DRM features and everything?

- dijit 7y agoAs long as the cable supports your preferred "version" of HDMI, it should be fine, that cable supports 1.4. So it's not rated for 4k, but it will support all the DRM stuff.
- Mindwipe 7y agoNot that it's terribly relevant, as the board doesn't support the DRM stuff anyway.
- matthewmacleod 7y agoHDMI to micro-HDMI is just a straight passive adapter - only the physical shape of the port is different, and feature support isn’t really a thing. In this case it’s obviously done because the HDMI connector is annoyingly bulky if you want two of them, though I’m surprised a stacked connector wasn’t a better option.
- pas 7y agoStacking is risky, because the end of cables might be unreasonably large, thus two might not fit on top of each other that close. Also HDMI cables tend to be pretty bulky, they might simply strain the board too much? Or there were no cheap enough stacked port.
