What speed is a lightning port again? Can you get HDMI uncompressed out of it?
- dehrmann 5y agoThere are workarounds for parts of this. You can make proprietary keyed dongles that support extra pins (or even just signaling compatibility) that can support hdmi out.
- Dylan16807 5y agoGoing by existing devices, lighting ports are capable of 4 lanes of communication and at least 5Gbps per lane. That's easily enough for 4k at 60 Hz, if the device is set up for HDMI output. I don't think any existing devices can output through passive HDMI adapters, but it would be easy to make it possible. Even if you were stuck with USB 3 speeds, which some existing devices can definitely do, that's still more than enough for 1080p. If you can't get either of those, the problem isn't the port.
